(Bloomberg) -- Former FBI Director James Comey will testify behind closed doors on Friday before the House Judiciary Committee at the request of Republican lawmakers, his lawyers said, after ending a legal fight to quash their subpoena.
Comey had sued to block the summons last week, contending that the sealed testimony would be leaked and distorted by Republicans for political purposes.
Early on Sunday, two days after Comey's attorney conceded in court that no federal trial judge had ever batted down a House subpoena, the former Federal Bureau of Investigations chief -- who was fired by President Donald Trump in 2017 -- withdrew his request.
A lawyer for the Judiciary panel had offered to make a transcript of the testimony public within 24 hours. In a tweet on Sunday, Comey indicated he'd accepted those terms. "This is the closest I can get to public testimony," he said. Soon after, Comey's lawyers withdrew their request to quash the subpoena.
Comey is expected to be asked about actions taken by the FBI in 2016, including a decision not to recommend criminal charges against Democrat Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server, as well as the FBI's probe into potential coordination between Russia and Trump's campaign.
The former FBI director demanded via Twitter Nov. 22 that House Republicans let the American people watch his testimony. He is free to discuss his testimony, which is now voluntary, his lawyer said.
It's disappointing that Comey filed a motion to quash the motion in the first place, and his transcript will be released "as soon as possible after the interview, in the name of our combined desire for transparency," Republican Representative Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, the committee's chairman, said in a statement.
The hearing may be one of the final significant actions of the Republican-lead panel under Goodlatte. In the new Congress, Democrats take the majority in the House and Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York is likely to be the new chairman.

Louis Vuitton star designer Virgil Abloh dies in private battle with cancer
Virgil Abloh, the son of Ghanaian immigrants born in the United States and who became the most prominent black designer in fashion and the creative mind behind Louis Vuitton's menswear collections, died on Sunday at the age of 41 years old, after a two-year battle with a rare form of cancer. Abloh, who has also worked as a DJ and visual artist, was since March 2018 the male artistic director of Vuitton, the world's largest luxury brand.
Broadway legend Stephen Sondheim, whose work transformed musical theater, has died aged 91
Broadway composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who has helped American musical theater evolve beyond pure entertainment and reach new artistic heights with works such as "West Side Story", "Into the Woods" and "Sweeney Todd ", died Friday morning at the age of 91. , said his publicist. The great comedian died at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, spokeswoman Kathryn Zuckerman told Reuters by email, saying she had little additional information. The news was reported earlier by The New York Times.

Sir Michael Gambon forced to quit theatre due to 'frightening' memory loss
Harry Potter and Fortitude actor, who impressed Olivier and played King Lear, calls time on glittering stage career after five decades
Sir Michael Gambon forced to quit theatre due to 'frightening' memory loss Photo: Charlie Hopkinson

Sir Michael Gambon has for the first time spoken of the 'frightening' memory loss that forced him to lower the curtain on his stage career after 50 years.
The veteran thespian said he took the final, 'heartbreaking' decision to stop treading the boards after finding he could no longer remember his lines.
The actor, who played Professor Albus Dumbledore in six Harry Potter films and stars in JK Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, also revealed he has never read any of the books from which each was adapted.
Sir Michael said his memory problems first became apparent during rehearsals at the National Theatre in 2009.
He was rushed to Accident and Emergency at London's St Thomas's Hospital after the distress caused by forgetting the script caused panic attacks.
Dad's Army to star Zeta Jones and Michael Gambon
Behind the scenes of Sky's most expensive drama ever
A Beckett we've never seen
Michael Gambon receives Richard Harris Award and admits ... all I did was copy him as Dumbledore
The 74-year-old, who as a young actor trained with Sir Laurence Olivier, now avoids roles with "lots of words", he admitted in an interview.
He finally took the decision to bow out from stage work after an experiment involving lines read to him via an audio headset proved a failure.
Sir Michael explained: "There was a girl in the wings and I had a plug in my ear so she could read my lines. And after about an hour I thought, 'This can't work. You can't be in theatre, free on the stage, shouting and screaming and running around, with someone reading your lines.
He added: "You know, when you're there in front of an audience, that you're not as good as you could be.
"It's a horrible thing to admit, but I can't do it. It breaks my heart. When the script is in front of me and it takes me forever to learn, it's frightening".
In recent years his most enjoyable time on stage, Sir Michael said, was his acclaimed performance in Samuel Beckett's script-less one-man play Krapp's Last Tape, at London's Duchess Theatre, in 2010.
"It was brilliant," he said. "I just had to do a range of facial expressions".
Sir Michael expressed surprise at how long the creator of the world's most famous boy wizard took to pen his adventures, and appeared to cast doubt the financial hardships Rowling famously faced.
"I don't think she made it up, but maybe some other people have made it worse than it seems", he told The Sunday Times.
But Sir Michael said he has no plans to put his film and screen career on hold, he announced, amid glowing reviews for his work on hit polar drama Fortitude.
He appears as Private Godfrey in a forthcoming cinematic remake of television's Dad's Army.
And he is booked to spend two weeks filming in New York and Canada after agreeing to take on "whatever comes along".
The project, Gambon said, is directed by an unnamed Frenchman "who was talking to me on the phone the other day
"I didn't understand a word he said. I kept saying, 'Oh yeah, yeah – that's great, alright, see you then. Bye.'
"I don't know what it's all about. I expect my agent will tell me".

Q: Where is the audit policy stored on a Windows Server? I'm trying to understand how Windows stores policies. As I understand it, local workstation policies can either be governed via Group Policy if in a domain, or local on the server if it isn't in a domain. But the policy configuration isn't stored in the Registry - so where is it stored?
I spun up a stock Windows Server 2012 R2 image to try and find it, but I don't have any of the common directories such as NTDS and SYSVOL.

A: In a database:
%systemroot%\security\database\secedit.sdb

A: Audit policies are located in computer configuration -> Policies -> Windows setting -> Security settings -> Local policies -> Audit policies.
I hope you find this information useful

Treatment of Lyme disease is perhaps one of the most controversial subjects in medicine. The best way to treat Lyme disease is embroiled in a highly political debate. Some medical professionals believe that Lyme disease is an easily treatable, self limiting infection whereas others believe it's an insidious disease, capable of evading the immune system and persisting beyond a short course of antibiotics, therefore requiring long term treatment, which plenty of patients would be inclined to agree with.
Public Health England's current stance tends to lean towards the Infectious Diseases Society of America's (IDSA) view which doesn't acknowledge Lyme disease as a chronic infection and short courses of antibiotics are generally recommended. Any symptoms that persist beyond treatment are often accredited to a condition known as Post-Lyme Disease Treatment Syndrome. One study conducted in the US showed that more than 50% of patients were still ill 6-12 months after a short term course of antibiotics, arguing the case for re-treatment.
You can read about some of the problems UK patients are experiencing based on some research done by Caudwell LymeCo charity.
Doctors who form the International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS) tend to recognise the need for longer courses of integrative treatment in some cases due to the persistent nature of the disease and take into account co-infections and other aspects of chronic illness which may be contributing to symptoms. This study attempts to define chronic Lyme disease.
The debate has divided the medical community and effectively lead to two standards of care. Doctors who do treat patients for longer than the recommended short course of antibiotics may feel as though their licenses are under threat and patients are caught in the middle of the argument, often not knowing which way to turn.
As many NHS doctors do not tend to recognise chronic Lyme disease, patients who are still unwell after receiving a short course of treatment for Lyme disease are usually forced to seek private or alternative treatment if they can afford to do so. As there are so few Lyme literate practitioners in the UK, this often involves trips abroad. There is also the issue of patients who were never treated during the onset of their illness and who have been misdiagnosed with other conditions for years. To find out more about the patients' plight, please see these case studies read the post on the current problems with UK care.
Some patients also choose to use a mixture of treatments from both conventional and alternative medicine. As there is so little research into the most effective treatment for late stage, chronic Lyme disease and its associated conditions, people usually discover that different treatment options suit different people and that there is no standard protocol.
Many of the Lyme literate practitioners look beyond simply a borrelia infection and examine their patients for co-infections, opportunistic infections, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, food intolerances, heavy metal or mould toxicity and many other pieces of the often complex puzzle.
If all causes of a patient's chronic illness are addressed, Lyme literate practitioners usually believe that remission is possible but they are often wary of using the term 'cure' because there is a chance of relapse as these infections possess the ability to go dormant and reactivate if the body is under stress.
If you would like to find out more about treatment options for Lyme disease or find an experienced Lyme literate practitioner, please join our Facebook discussion group where people share their experiences. There are also many books available on the complexities of Lyme disease and chronic illness.

REA: Energy storage already financially viable for grid and homes
Domestic and grid-scale energy storage projects in the UK are already economically viable in certain circumstance as technology costs continue to fall, a new report from KPMG has found.

The report, commissioned by the Renewable Energy Association (REA), claims that energy storage has fast-become a valuable asset in the transition to a decentralised, low carbon energy system.
Substantial reductions in the cost of storage technologies have brought forward the anticipated timeframe for their deployment, the report points out.
It finds that grid-scale projects, such as those recently announced by RES or completed by AES are already economic, but facing significant regulatory issues, including short contract lengths for balancing services and 'discriminatory' charges' for grid connection. These could be relatively easily solved by more effective Government regulation, the report says.
The research also found that energy storage can already be economic for domestic homes with solar PV panels installed and Feed-in Tarriff subsidies.
However, businesses may have to wait another two years before energy storage makes sense financially, due in part to lower FIT rates.
The report states: "We estimate that for those firms seeking to invest in storage to enhance their environmental or corporate responsibility credentials, investing in distributed generation in the form of solar PV plus storage will be an attractive investment from around 2018/19.
"For those firms seeking to make a financial return from their investment, distributed generation with storage is likely to become an attractive investment in the mid-2020's."
The report also details the benefits that increased deployment of decentralised generation and storage would have for the national energy system, including lower overall energy costs as the risk of potentially high peak energy prices is reduced; better balancing of supply and demand, helping reduce stress on the grid and increased contribution to decarbonisation by enabling greater penetration of renewable generation.
REA chief executive Nina Skorupska said: "2016 is going to be the breakthrough year for energy storage and the growth of decentralised energy. The industry must draw a line under the turbulence of the past year and look to the future.
"This report shows that storage is already upon us and whilst traditional fuels like nuclear and gas are needing increasing help from the government, the cost of renewable technologies are coming down and many companies are looking forward to the post-subsidy business model.
"Companies like RES and AES have already announced advanced grid-scale storage projects in this field, and with Tesla and other storage companies entering the UK this year we have a lot to be hopeful about.
"We are not asking government for subsidies, what we need is a stable policy environment that has been so lacking in the past year, coupled with a common sense approach to regulation and the ability to fully participate in the electricity market."
The UK's energy storage capacity could reach 1.6GW by 2020 according to a recent report from environmental consultancy Eunomia, up from around 24MW currently.
UK's energy storage pipeline doubles within a year, surpassing 32GW

POLICE have issued this picture of a man they want to trace after he exposed himself to a teenage girl.
The 17-year-old victim from Stevenage was walking along Six Hills Way at around 6.15pm on Wednesday last week when she first saw the offender.
She crossed the road and lost sight of the male but a short while later she heard a whistle and turned around to see the offender performing an indecent act while shouting at her. The victim then ran off.
The offender is described as a white male, of slim build, unshaven and of scruffy appearance. He was wearing a black beanie hat, a black bomber style waist length coat and dark trousers.
PC James Flynn, who is the ward constable for the Chells area, said: "I would like to hear from anyone who recognises the man in the CD fit. The victim was left quite frightened by this incident and it is important that we find this man before he scares anyone else."
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Flynn in the Stevenage community team on 01438 757122.

Q: stream video with eventmachine? It seems to me that EM::FileStreamer should be usable out of the box, but I tried it with the <video> tag and with an embedded Quicktime plugin, but neither one would actually show the video.
I've connected to my EM server with telnet and found that it does indeed stream my video file.  I'm at a loss as to why it's not buffering and playing in my browser. Anyone have any hints for me?

A: That should work, however the video must be encoded properly to stream in that fashion. I am assuming your using an mp4? If so, have you run qt-faststart on the file?
Here's an article with a bit of info.
http://www.stoimen.com/blog/2010/11/12/how-to-make-mp4-progressive-with-qt-faststart/
I also have my sample video encoding app on github, which does this automatically for you when you upload videos.
https://github.com/zquestz/asset-manager
Just make sure qt-faststart is in your PATH. Once the index information is at the beginning of the file, thing should work as expected.
Videos encoded with libtheora should work out of the box for supported browsers.

NASA promises to launch satellite on 4th of July
The launch attempt came after meetings Monday where NASA managers pondered whether a 12 centimeter long crack in the external fuel tank's foam, which caused a seven centimeter piece of foam to pop out on the launch pad, posed a threat to the shuttle during liftoff.
The patch of foam fell off an area that covers an expandable bracket holding a liquid oxygen feed line against the huge external tank. NASA engineers believe ice built up in that area from condensation caused by rain Sunday.
If Discovery gets off the ground Tuesday, it would be the first manned launch by the United States on the country's national holiday, the first launch in almost a year, and only the second launch since the Columbia disaster killed seven astronauts in 2003.
NASA scrubbed launch plans Saturday and Sunday because of weather.
NASA managers decided to go ahead with the attempt Tuesday because they are confident enough foam still is on the bracket to prevent a large piece of ice from forming, they don't believe the area will be exposed to extreme heat during ascent, and the area of foam where the piece dropped was still intactm according to the AP.

Estonska umjetnost je umjetnost s prostora današnje Republike Estonije i naroda Estonaca od srednjeg vijeka do danas.

Srednji vijek

Pojavom estonske države u 13. stoljeću Estonci spajaju tradicionalne pučke oblike sa zapadnim utjecajima s danskih i njemačkih prostora. U doba prihvaćanja kršćanstva početkom 13. st. podižu se jednostavne crkve i dvorci romaničkog, a od 14. do 16. stoljeća gotičkog stila. Tallinn postaje značajno trgovačko središte u kojemu se grade mnoge crkve (prvostolnica sv. Marije, sv. Olav i dr.) i javni objekti (grad, vijećnica, palače).

Najstarije skulpture potječu iz istog razdoblja i uglavnom su to kipovi s portala crkava i raspeća. Kroz 15. i 16. stoljeće najčešće nastaju izrezbareni gotički oltari.

Renesansa i Barok

Od 16. do 18. stoljeća izmjenjuju se utjecaji nizozemske renesanse, danskog baroka i ruske umjetnosti. Renesansa se najčešće javlja na memorijalnoj i spomeničkoj plastici, a barok u štuko ukrasima na propovjedaonicama, oltarima i palačama.

19. stoljeće

Tijekom prve polovice 19. stoljeća u arhitekturi prevladava neoklasicizam, a u drugoj polovici historicizam.

Početak slikarstva u Estoniji započinje utemeljenjem crtačke škole u Tartuu (1830.) na poticaj klasicističkih slikara K. A. Senffa i A. M. Hagena. Poslije slikari slijede romantizam i bidermajer, a među najznačajnije slikare iz tog doba spadaju G. A. Hippius i G. von Kügelgen.

20. stoljeće

Početkom 20. stoljeća nastaju građevine u nacionalnom stilu koje su većinom radili finski, a potom i domaći arhitekti. Slikari se školuju u europskim središtima (Ants Laikmaa i Kristjan Raud), a po povratku rade u nacionalno-romantičarskom duhu portrete, krajolike i povijesne kompozicije. Od 1910. do kasnih 1930-ih estonski slikari i kipari slijede suvremene europske pravce: portrete radi N. Triik, K. Mägi slika u duhu ekspresionizma, dok postimpresionistički slikaju A. Johani i K. Liimand.

Estonski muzej umjetnosti je osnovan 17. studenog 1919. god., ali sve do 1921. god. bio je u iznajmljenim prostorijama i tada je njegova kolekcija smještena u Palaču Kadriorg iz 18. stoljeća. God. 1929. palača je oduzeta muzeju kako bi se obnovila rezidencija estonskog predsjednika Konstantina Pätsa.

Oko 1920-ih u arhitekturi prevladava tradicionalizam, neoklasicizam i art nouveau, dok od 1930-ih prevladava funkcionalizam. Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata u duhu internacionalnog stila grade estonski arhitekti (A. Kotli, V. Pormeister).

Od 1914. god. djeluje i Estonsko Društvo Umjetnika u Tallinnu koje se od 1924. god. zove Estonsko Industrijsko-umjetnička Škola, da bi od 1944. god. postalo Državnim Institutom za Primijenjenu Umjetnost, i naposljetku Estonskom Umjetničkom Akademijom (Eesti Kunstiakadeemia).

U vrijeme sovjetske okupacije u umjetnosti prevladava soc-realizam. Liberalizacijom od 1970-ih estonski umjetnici slijede suvremene avangardne smjerove. T. Rein i P. Jänes i dr., slijede suvremene arhitektonske izričaje, a u slikarstvu su sve prisutnija avangardna stremljenja (P. Mudist, J. Palm, L. Sarapuu, J. Arro i dr.).

La Misa en do mayor, Opus 86, de Ludwig van Beethoven fue compuesta por encargo del príncipe Nikolaus Esterházy II en 1807. Beethoven continuaba una tradición establecida por Joseph Haydn, quien después de regresar de Inglaterra en 1795 compuso una misa por año para la familia Esterházy, para celebrar el onomástico de la esposa del príncipe. Haydn terminó esta tradición con el deterioro de su salud en 1802.

Valoración

El príncipe Nikolaus no apreció la misa, lo que causó que Beethoven abandonara su casa en un rapto de cólera. Charles Rosen, en su The Classical Style, ha considerado al episodio "el error público más humillante" de Beethoven. La misa es apreciada por críticos (tales como Rosen), pero es probablemente una de las obras grandes menos interpretadas de Beethoven.

De la obra, el crítico Michael Moore ha escrito "Si bien ha sido opacada por la inmensa Missa Solemnis, compuesta quince años después, tiene tal impacto directo y contenido emocional de la que la obra posterior a veces no tiene." La ampliamente consultada Penguin Guide to Compact Discs (edición 2004) acertadamente la denomina "una obra maestra largamente subestimada".

                } catch (SQLException e) {}
            }
            return item;
        }

A: You're using PreparedStatement for the SQL: SELECT * FROM TEST.ITEMBOUGHT WHERE ITEM_ID = ?.  That means you must tell JDBC what value to replace the question mark (?) in query string, but you put comment on it in //stmt.setString(1,item_id);
If you want to select ITEM_ID 1 and ITEM_ID is INTEGER (numeric field), you can use the following code:
public Items getItemDetails() {
   Connection con = connect(true);
   PreparedStatement stmt = null;
   ResultSet rs = null;
   String select = "SELECT * FROM TEST.ITEMBOUGHT WHERE ITEM_ID = ?";
   Items item = null;

   try {
       stmt = con.prepareStatement(select);
       stmt.setInt(1,1);
       rs = stmt.executeQuery();
       while (rs.next()) {
          ... // and so on
       }
   }
   ...
}

If you want to select all records, remove the WHERE clause: SELECT * FROM TEST.ITEMBOUGHT. If you don't need PreparedStatement, you can rewrite the code into:
Statement stmt = null;
...
try {
...
   stmt = con.createStatement() ;
   rs = stmt.executeQuery(select) ;
...
}

Home Campus Updates Kerala's Chekutty doll's turn lead characters in new children's books
Kerala's Chekutty doll's turn lead characters in new children's books
For every Keralite, Chekutty, the tiny cloth doll with a smiling face, is a household name. The brainchild of social entrepreneurs Lakshmi Menon and Gopinath Parayil, it stands as a symbol of the survival of Keralites, especially weavers of Chendamangalam, from the 2018 floods. Chekkutty, who survived the mud, brought back life to many artisans who had lost their assets to the floods.
As the weavers stood aghast, Lakshmi and Gopinath came forward to help them by making tiny toys out of the clothes that got perished in the muddied flood water. Weavers rinsed those clothes with chlorine and fresh water, dried and gave them to volunteers who cut them into small pieces to make the simple Chekkutty. Many people, both from inside and outside the country, gathered to make chekutty, making it a global icon of Kerala's survival story and harmony.
The Malayalam children's books with beautiful illustrations – Parannu Parannu Chekutty Pava by Veerankutty and Chekutty by Sethu—have this incident as the base. The authors have created two different imaginary worlds where chekkutty is the lead character. If Parannu Parannu Chekutty Pava has Unni, Chekkutty Pava, Kunjan Pava and Molooty Pava as the main characters, Chekutty narrates the story of Vinodini teacher, Chekkutty a.k.a. Chinnu, Chinnan, Chippi, Chindan, Chinju, Kalyani and Alice.
The books, published by DC Books and illustrated by Roney Devassia, are entertaining and informative at the same time, and can be enjoyed both by children above 10 years and adults. They are part factual and part fictional.
Veerankutty, Head of Department at the Department of Malayalam at Government College, Madappally, who started his writing career with children's books, uses the plot to teach children about the significance of preserving Mother Nature. Sethu's narrative is quite emotional and describes the history of Chendamangalam and weavers. Both the writers send a strong message to their readers through the accounts.
Veerankutty's book begins at a toy shop in a mall where Unni, a toy lover, comes with his father. While all other children neglect chekkutty as it does not meet their beauty standards, Unni finds it beautiful and buys it. Back home, Unni gets chided by parents for adding one more doll to his already big collection. However, little did they know about the change that would happen to their son. Chekkutty loves Unni but is disappointed by the way he is brought up, within the four walls of his home. One day Chekkutty gets wings and takes Unni on a journey, accompanied by Mollootty Pava and Kunjan Pava, Unni's old friends. They fly up in the sky, understanding the plight of earth and its inhabitants.
On the way, they join children who protest against the quarrying of Chengod hill, witness Nipah outbreak, visit a juvenile home, meet social activist Sheeba and spend time at Manava Gurukulam where children follow their heart. The book goes on to narrate adventures they undertake and how those experiences change their outlook. In a nutshell, Veerankutty exhorts children to travel and see the world.
"Only the thread of the Chekkutty doll was there. I built a world around it," says Veerankutty. "The flood, which was man-made, was a great lesson for us. We should never forget that. That was my intention while writing the book." Hence the nature conservation. "The Chengod hill mentioned in the story is close to my home. It is being destroyed by quarry groups and protests are going on. I wanted to bring children's attention to situations like that."

For award-winning writer Sethu, who is known for his works like Pandavapuram and Marupiravi, Chekkutty is the first attempt in children's literature. In the book, he focuses on how Chekkutty, who is given the name Chinnu by her mother Vinodini, discovers her own identity. One fine day, Chinnu appears in a different world which has light. She takes time to get accustomed to the light and people around her – Vinodini and Kalyani, her nanny. Vinodini teacher has no children but she has a gift. She can breathe life into dolls. Chinnu has been brought to the earth like that. She hates Kalyani at first sight, but gradually they become friends. As she leads a happy life with her mother, nanny and siblings Chinnan, Chippi, Chindan, Chinju, her world crumbles when her classmate mock her for being a doll-turned-human. The moment she realises her true identity, her life changes forever. The book narrates how she proudly handles the situation and goes on to become a global icon.
Sethu says the plot has been derived from his previous novel Kaimudrakal written about 25 years ago. "Kaimudrakal has characters who give life to dolls and even exports them abroad. That was the basic premise."
For him, writing Chekutty has been an emotional journey. "Although I live in Aluva now, Chendamangalm is my native. We had weaving looms at home. I grew up listening to its rhythm," Says Sethu who added that having looms was a status symbol those days. "The history of weaving in Chendamangalam begins with Chalians who were brought from Andhra Pradesh to weave soft mundu and neriyathu for the Paliath Achans. The fabric was quite expensive. Later, the ordinary folk of the place took this as their profession. The early days witnessed men indulging in it. A whole family would be involved in it. With the advent of machine-made fabric which was cheaper, weaving lost its sheen. Men left the profession for better jobs, leaving weaving in the hands of women. I have seen their attachment to the profession. I have also seen their despair after the floods. Fabric worth lakhs have been destroyed in the water," Sethu explains.
In his book, Chekutty is proud of her identity and scar, something that readers can emulate in life. Sethu says, "What Lakshmi and Gopinath have done is a miracle. The world should know it. That was my aim. I believe I achieved that." His book also explains how monsoon used to be the favourite season on children of Chendamangalam.
The authors have beautifully blended survival and hope in their works. If a child ever asks who Chekutty is, give her/him one of these books. They will love the tiny mascot.

Tax revenue from legal marijuana sales would help fund efforts to improve the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in New York under a plan announced on Tuesday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D).
As the state moves closer to legalizing cannabis, leading lawmakers are already seeing opportunities to use marijuana tax revenue for infrastructure projects. In this case, the governor and mayor agreed that some of those dollars should supplement revenue from a congestion pricing plan they're proposing.
"Congestion pricing tolls would be supplemented with State and City revenue from a fixed amount of the new internet sales tax derived from sales in New York City, with a growth factor, and a percentage of the State and City revenue from the cannabis excise tax," reads part of the plan.
Portions of state and city marijuana tax revenue "will be placed in a 'lockbox' to provide a funding source necessary to ensure the capital needs of the MTA can be met, with priority given to the subway system, new signaling, new subway cars, track and car repair, accessibility, buses and bus system improvements and further investments in expanding transit availability to areas in the outer boroughs that have limited mass transit options."
It was unclear whether Cuomo would back earmarking marijuana funds for transit when the idea was floated in December. But its inclusion in his and de Blasio's 10-point plan, which also calls for the consolidation of transportation entities and combating fare evasion, puts an end to that question.
A report from New York University's Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management noted that the state can expect to generate as much as $677 million in tax revenue from marijuana sales in the first year and concluded that legalizing cannabis "should be considered in designing any policies to improve the mass transit and commuter rail systems under the control of the MTA."
But not everyone is on board. Some drug policy reform advocates have pushed back against using marijuana revenue for subways, for example.
Cannabis revenue should not be directed "to entities like the MTA, NYCHA and Health and Hospitals, which have consistently propagated harm and been complicit in the arrest crusade by targeting people who have used marijuana by calling the police or taking black and Latina mothers away from their children after nonconsensual maternal drug tests," Melissa Moore, New York State deputy director of the Drug Policy Alliance, wrote in an editorial.
The money should instead go toward "marginalized communities, and the people first in line need to be the people who have been ravaged by overpolicing and impacted by other insidious criminalization," she wrote.
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D) also expressed concerns about the transit funding proposal on Tuesday.
.@CarlHeastie also says he has concerns about dedicating revenue from legalized marijuana to @mta. Says that revenue should go first to communities most adversely affected by criminalization.
— Zack Fink (@ZackFinkNews) February 26, 2019
But lawmakers who had led on marijuana legalization proposals in the legislature seem more open to the idea of putting at least some amount of revenue toward transportation projects.
"I don't think we should collect all of the cannabis revenue and put it into the MTA," Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes (D) told Politico. "I totally, adamantly disagree with that, but do I think there's some opportunity to identify a level of resources that can go on a consistent basis that they can use to plan budgets and capital projects, absolutely."
"There was always an assumption that some money would go to the general fund, and if the governor and mayor are saying mass transit…there's nothing inconsistent with that and the work Crystal and I have been doing," Sen. Liz Krueger (D) said.
Cuomo included marijuana legalization language in the annual budget he proposed to lawmakers last month, but it is not clear whether the idea will end up making it into final enacted fiscal legislation or, if so, what form it will take.
Cuomo and de Blasio both first endorsed legalizing cannabis for the first time in recent months.

Federal Reserve Head Calls For Clarity On Marijuana Banking Issues

Local Massachusetts lawmakers on Thursday unanimously approved a resolution to decriminalize a wide range of psychedelics—the latest in a national movement to reform laws on entheogenic plants and fungi.
Prior passing the measure in a 9-0 vote, the Somerville City Council took testimony from two people with personal experience benefiting from the therapeutic use of psychedelics. Several members of the council also discussed the failures of the drug war and the potential medical value of entheogenic substances, particularly as it concerns mental health.
The resolution was supported by the mayor.
"By decriminalizing psychedelic plants, Massachusetts can mainstream harm-reduction strategies as therapists and health providers embrace these compounds for physical, psychological, and spiritual relief," Decriminalize Nature, Bay Staters for Natural Medicines and the Heroic Hearts Project said in written testimony to lawmakers.
"Somerville has a chance to empower our neighbors, friends, and loved ones to seek the physical and spiritual relief they need and put public health above incarcerating people even in cases of addiction and abuse of controlled substances," they wrote.
Quote:"no … officer or employee of the city, including without limitation, Somerville Police Department personnel, should use any city funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of laws imposing criminal penalties for the use and possession of entheogenic plants by adults"
— JT Scott (@JTforWard2) January 15, 2021
Under the proposal, enforcement of laws against psychedelics such as psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca would be among the city's lowest priorities. It also calls on the county prosecutor to cease pursing cases for persons charged with possessing or distributing entheogens.
The measure states that "the City Council hereby maintains it should be the policy of the City of Somerville that the investigation and arrest of adult persons for planting, cultivating, purchasing, transporting, distributing, engaging in practices with, and/or possessing entheogenic plants… shall be amongst the lowest law enforcement priority for the City of Somerville."
It also stipulates that "no City of Somerville department, agency, board, commission, officer or employee of the city, including without limitation, Somerville Police Department personnel, should use any city funds or resources to assist in the enforcement of laws imposing criminal penalties for the use and possession of entheogenic plants by adults."
The resolution emphasizes that the measure would not allow for commercial sales of these substances, nor would it permit driving while under the influence of them.
Thank you to my colleauges Councilor Clingan @JesseForWard4, Councilor Scott @JTforWard2, and Mayor @JoeCurtatone for filing tonight's Resolution supporting the decriminalization of enthiogenic plants, fungus, and cacti – proud to co-sponsor. pic.twitter.com/SrXkNdQNuT
— Ben Ewen-Campen (@BenForWard3) January 14, 2021
"I love living in a city where this is not controversial and you got unanimous support," Council President Matt McLaughlin said at the close of the meeting. "Let's end this war on drugs, and this is a good step."
Watch the lawmakers discuss the psychedelics reform resolution, starting around 25:45 into the video below:
With Thursday's vote, Somerville joins a growing number of cities across the U.S. that have enacted psychedelics decriminalization. Most of the reforms have advanced legislatively, though Washington, D.C. became the first jurisdiction to decriminalize via the ballot in November.
Three other cities—Oakland, Santa Cruz and Ann Arbor—have also decriminalized possession of plant-and fungi-based psychedelics.
In Oregon, November's election saw the passage of a historic initiative to legalize psilocybin mushrooms for therapeutic purposes. The governor announced in November that applications for an advisory board to oversee implementation of the program were being accepted up until January 1.
Much of this reform progress can be traced back to Denver, which became the first city in the country to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms in May 2019. Since then, activists in more than 100 cities have expressed interest in pursuing psychedelics decriminalization.
In Oakland, the first city where a city council voted to broadly deprioritize criminalization of entheogenic substances, lawmakers approved a follow-up resolution last month that calls for the policy change to be adopted statewide and for local jurisdictions to be allowed to permit healing ceremonies where people could use psychedelics.
A California state senator plans to file a bill to decriminalize psychedelics for the 2021 session.
Meanwhile, after Ann Arbor legislators passed a decriminalization resolution in September, a county prosecutor recently announced that his office will not be pursuing charges over possessing entheogenic plants and fungi—"regardless of the amount at issue."

North Dakota lawmakers have introduced a bill to significantly expand marijuana decriminalization in the state.
The legislation, which was filed on Monday, would build on an initial cannabis decriminalization law that was enacted in 2019.
Under the current statute, possession of half an ounce or less of marijuana is an infraction punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, with no jail time. The new proposal would make possession of up to an ounce a non-criminal offense that carries a $50 fine.
Further, possession of more than one ounce and less than 250 grams would be treated as an infraction, rather than a class B misdemeanor, as it is currently classified.
Possessing more than 250 grams of marijuana would be a class B misdemeanor and possessing more than 500 grams would be a class A misdemeanor.
The bill is being sponsored by Rep. Shannon Roers Jones (R) and Sen. Scott Meyer (R) in their respective chambers. It's been referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

"It's encouraging to see Rep. Roers Jones and her colleagues continue the push to reduce harsh and senseless penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana in North Dakota," Jared Moffat, state campaigns manager at the Marijuana Policy Project, told Marijuana Moment. "Decriminalization is no substitute for legalizing and regulating marijuana for adults, as several of North Dakota's neighbors have now done. But passage of this bill would continue the trend of progress the state has seen in recent years."
Activists are moving forward with plans to put a cannabis legalization ballot initiative before voters in 2022.
The measure, which would allow adults 21 and older to possess and cultivate cannabis for personal use, was submitted to Secretary of State Al Jaeger on Monday. If its language is accepted, the campaign will be able to start signature gathering to qualify for the ballot.
The same team behind the new initiative came close to putting a similar measure on the state's ballot last year, but petitioning efforts were impeded by the coronavirus pandemic.
A separate group of advocates, Legalize ND, also attempted to qualify a different legalization initiative in 2020 that would have allowed retail sales but excluded a home grow option. That organization is also considering plans for its own 2022 measure.
Previously, a 2018 legalization push that did qualify for the ballot was defeated. Voters in the state did approve a measure to legalize medical cannabis in 2016, though the law was scaled down by the legislature the following year.
While activists are skeptical that the legislature has the appetite to enact the policy change on their own, it is the case that lawmakers may feel increased pressure given that voters in neighboring South Dakota and Montana elected to legalize cannabis in November.

North Dakota Decriminalizat… by Marijuana Moment
New Mexico Governor Says Marijuana Legalization Is A 2021 Priority
A Virginia Senate committee held an initial hearing on Friday on a bill to legalize marijuana that was introduced with support from the governor just two days ago.
The legislation's quick consideration by the Senate Rehabilitation and Social Services Committee is an early sign that lawmakers intend to advance it expeditiously. Two additional hearings are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday in a newly formed subcommittee of the panel that's specifically focused on cannabis policy.
The bill, which is being carried by top Senate and House leaders, would create a system of regulated and taxed marijuana sales and production, and allow adults 21 and older to purchase and possess up to one ounce of cannabis and cultivate up to four plants for personal use, two of which could be mature.
After the bill is considered by the new marijuana-focused subcommittee next week, the full Rehabilitation panel is expected to hold a vote next Friday to refer it to the Senate Judiciary Committee. After that panel considers the legislation, it would head to the Finance Committee before coming to the full Senate floor.
At the initial hearing, members heard testimony from a representative of Gov. Ralph Northam's (D) administration and asked questions about components of the bill such as those concerning expungements and social equity grants.
The legislation's provisions have been informed by two official state studies on legalization that were recently conducted by a legislative commission and a separate working group comprised of four Virginia cabinet secretaries and other officials, both of which looked at how to effectively implement legalization and submitted recommendations to the governor's office late last year.
Those studies were required under a marijuana decriminalization bill that was approved last year.
Many of those recommendations have been incorporated into the new legislation, including provisions to promote social equity in the cannabis market. Notably, it would also apportion almost half of the tax revenue the state collects from marijuana sales to funding pre-kindergarten education—a policy championed by First Lady Pamela Northam.
The state's alcohol regulatory body would be renamed the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Control Authority, and it would be responsible for promulgating rules and issuing licenses.
A new 21 percent tax would be imposed on cannabis sales, and local jurisdictions that allow marijuana businesses to operate could levy an additional three percent tax. Existing state sales taxes would also apply on purchases, for a total potential 30 percent tax rate.
Revenue from the new state tax would go toward funding pre-k education (40 percent), a Cannabis Equity Reinvestment Fund (30 percent), substance misuse and treatment programs (25 percent) and public health initiatives (five percent).
Deputy Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry Brad Copenhaver, who testified on behalf of the Northam administration on Friday, emphasized that the "keystone of this entire bill is marijuana legalization of a social equity endeavor."
Advocates have celebrated the bill's introduction and are optimistic about the prospects of getting the reform enacted this session, but they also feel the legislation as proposed can be improved upon.
One problematic provision from advocates' perspective is that the bill would make public consumption a misdemeanor, whereas currently it is a civil offense punishable by a $25 fine.
Additionally, it seems to increase the fine for people aged 18-20 who possess cannabis. The fine would be $250 for a first offense, and the legislation also stipulates that underage people could be subject to mandatory substance misuse treatment for violating the law.
This introduction of the bill comes one month after the governor included provisions to lay the groundwork for cannabis legalization in a budget proposal that also calls for millions of dollars to support expungements. Northam had campaigned on merely decriminalizing possession, but he publicly backed broader legalization of marijuana for adult use in November.
Northam said during his State of the Commonwealth address on Wednesday that cannabis prohibition was deliberately enacted as a means to discriminate against people of color.
"The administration's proposal does an excellent job of centering equity and restorative justice, but we are greatly concerned by the proposed rollbacks of newly enacted decriminalization measures and creation of new crimes for consumption and possession," Jenn Michelle Pedini, executive director of Virginia NORML, told Marijuana Moment.
"Not only would this escalation in criminalization not increase public safety, this will specifically target young, Black, Brown, and poor Virginians, those who are already overwhelmingly and disproportionately harmed by marijuana prohibition," Pedini, who also serves as NORML's national development director, said. "Governor Northam wants to get this right, and NORML will be offering policy guidance to help the administration do just that. It's time to move forward, not backward, with cannabis policies in the Commonwealth."
Separate legislation to legalize cannabis for adult use was filed by Del. Steve Heretick (D) last week.
Meanwhile, legislation to stop police from searching people or seizing property based solely on the smell of marijuana in Virginia is set to take effect after lawmakers adopted recommended changes from the governor in October.
Also during the recently concluded special session, Northam signed another bill that will allow people issued summonses for cannabis offenses under the state's new decriminalization law to prepay their civil penalty rather than having show up in court.

While the Stanley Cup Playoffs are in full swing, most fans focus more on where their favorite players are now, and sometimes where they were last season (or even earlier this season). Sometimes we forget that players did not simply appear in their current team's city.
Hometowns, especially those in Canada, are often quite proud of their favorite sons who make it to the NHL. The smaller the town, the prouder the townspeople. That is no exception on the East Coast.
Welcome to The Maritimes and Newfoundland! As the book explains, players from the East Coast have been in the NHL for decades. However, scouts did not actively recruit the area until the 1960s. Once the scouts took notice, East Coasters hit the ice with increasing frequency. But still, only about 200 players in the history of the NHL have come from the Atlantic provinces.
Who, besides Sidney Crosby, hails from the East Coast? Author Paul White focused on the stories of a dozen players with roots in The Maritimes and Newfoundland. From Gord Drillon and Danny Grant to the Brads – Richards and Marchand – there is quite a roster of recognizable names who are East Coasters who made it in the NHL.
The preface opened with a description of what goalies must have felt when Al MacInnis teed up at the blueline, about to face the league's hardest slap shot at the time. From there, he used the introduction to both describe Sidney Crosby's introduction into the league and tease the reader with the names of a few other well-known East Coasters with chapters later in the book.
Many East Coasters, like Gord Drillion in the 1930s, were very proud of where they came from and how they got to the NHL. White discussed the vast experiences of players like Al MacNeil and his extended stay with the Atlanta/Calgary Flames. In the center of the book, there are eight color pages that showcase the player cards for each of the players featured in the book.
When reading East Coast NHLers, East Coasters will enjoy learning more about their hometown heroes. But it's not just for locals. It serves to remind us that everyone comes from somewhere.

four-door sedan with its more traditional stance and secure trunk, they're both so good looking.
corner. The hood looks as long as dimensionally possible for a compact car and front fender swells are muscular in a femininely feline sort of way, whereas the rear quarters, with their gracefully shaped yet complex taillight lens detailing, either swoop down in a gradual recline or notch into a slightly more abrupt trunk, fashionable no matter the body configuration.
My test car was the four-door sedan version, simply dubbed Mazda3, while it was fitted out in mid-grade GS trim. Base models get the GX designation and top-line versions GT, the key differentiator to the latter being a larger 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine capable of greater output and commensurately stronger performance.
Like the base GX, the GS utilizes a DOHC, 16-valve, 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with direct-injection that puts out 155 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 150 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm and comes mated to a standard short-throw six-speed manual transmission or smooth and quick-shifting six-speed automatic with manual shift mode, the former rated by Natural Resources Canada at a claimed 8.0 L/100km in the city and 5.8 on the highway, while the latter is estimated to achieve a slightly thriftier 7.9 city and 5.7 highway rating.
Mazda claims incorporates the benefits of all competitive transmissions – conventional automatic, continuously variable and dual-clutch automated – due to a "dramatically widened" lock-up range that improves torque transfer efficiency resulting in a "direct driving feel that is equivalent to a manual" as well as a "4-to-7 percent improvement in fuel economy" compared to the previous automatic); and with the Mazda3 GT, the availability of i-ELOOP regenerative braking. A driving enthusiast will immediately notice that the technologies listed not only improve fuel economy and emissions, but also performance, which is perfectly in tune with Mazda's longstanding adherence to fully engaged driving enjoyment, or what it likes to call "Zoom-zoom".
could have gone the hybrid route instead, but as you may have heard or even experienced, the majority of hybrids don't exactly get the blood boiling or even bring it to a tepid temperature. Mazda's choice to coin Skyactiv and incorporate such technologies is testament to its focus on frugal fun, witnessed in the fabulous and legendary MX-5 roadster as well as its more practical hatchbacks, sedans and crossovers.
roominess and comfort, a nice assortment of standard and optional equipment, and superb interior quality.
Mazda has long been a leader in cabin refinement, and this really shows up in the new 3. The entire dash top is made from high-quality soft-touch synthetic, as are the front door uppers, while nice padded cloth inserts keep elbows resting on the padded armrests from getting bruised. While a carbon-style surface plate surrounded the door-mounted power window and lock switchgear as well as the steering wheel-mounted buttons, my tester made good use of glossy piano black plastic surfaces around the door handles, surrounding the side vents, across the dash, and on the lower console surrounding the shift lever and infotainment controller.
All of the car's knobs, buttons and toggles are amongst the best in the biz, feeling close to premium in their construction and application.
operates as soon as you slot the shifter into reverse. Altogether, it's an intuitive infotainment system that functions at a high level, reiterating that near-premium experience the Mazda3 provides so well.
a simple tilt and slide glass sunroof with a manual shade provided light and/or air, while I found the sunglasses holder in the overhead console even more useful.
power windows, tilt and telescopic steering, automatic headlight shut-off, variable intermittent wipers, illuminated entry, a 12-volt outlet with retained power, power-remote side mirrors with body-coloured caps, a convex passenger's side mirror, body-coloured door handles, dual sport exhaust, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic brake-force distribution, traction control, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), a full assortment of airbags, and 205/60R16 all-season tires, all for $15,995 plus a $1,695 freight and pre-delivery prep charge, or $18,995 plus freight for the automatic, which also adds standard air conditioning.
extra two speakers and HD radio added to the audio system, a rear centre armrest with twin cupholders, and 60/40 split-folding rear seatbacks instead of the base model's one-piece folding seat, all the better for maximizing the usefulness of its 350-litre (12.3 cubic-foot) trunk.
You may have noticed that I missed some of the other features mentioned further back in the review, a result of my tester incorporating a GS Convenience Package that for a very reasonable $550 adds the leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake handle, heated front seats, heated door mirrors, automatic on/off headlights, and rain-sensing wipers. The powered glass sunroof and fog lights were the result of the optional $1,200 Moonroof Package. Altogether, including the $1,300 Skyactiv-Drive six-speed Sport mode automatic transmission, $300 for the special red paint and two option packages my 2015 Mazda3 GS tester came to $23,145 before adding freight.
you want the majority of these features plus proximity-sensing remote entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, voice-activated navigation, nine-speaker Bose audio with Centerpoint surround sound and AudioPilot noise compensation technology, head-up display, silver interior trim instead of piano black lacquer, HID headlights with LED DRLs, LED taillights and 18-inch alloys you'll need to move up to the $25,995 GT model, while the GT's optional automatic comes with paddle-shifters and a driver-selectable Sport mode. Additionally, adaptive headlights with automatic high-beam control and satellite radio can be had with the further adoption of the $2,500 Technology Package, and leather upholstery, a six-way powered driver's seat with manual lumbar support, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with an integrated HomeLink garage door opener will force you to upgrade to the $1,500 Luxury Package.
the performance enthusiast within lusts after the GT, especially due to a six-speed manual finally being offered in top-line trim for 2015, my pragmatist side leans towards the more affordable and thriftier GS. This said there's no reason a base GX model shouldn't be on your radar either. It's amply equipped and just as enjoyable to drive as the GS. Still, my 2015 Mazda3 GS with the optional Convenience Package and added Moonroof Package was the perfect compromise, delivering much of the top-tier GT's luxuries along with the efficiency of the 2.0-litre engine for an affordable price. I recommend it highly.

Enantioselective synthesis of isochromans and tetrahydroisoquinolines by C–H insertion of donor/donor carbenes†

Reports of C–H insertions forming six-membered rings containing heteroatoms are rare due to Stevens rearrangements occurring after nucleophilic attack on the carbene by a heteroatom. Using donor/donor carbenes and Rh2(R-PTAD)4 as a catalyst, we have synthesized a collection of isochroman substrates in good yield, with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity, and no rearrangement products were observed. Furthermore, we report the first synthesis of six-membered rings containing nitrogen by C–H insertion to form tetrahydroisoquinolines. In one case, a Stevens rearrangement product was isolated at elevated temperature from a carbamate-protected amine substrate and computational evidence suggests formation through a free ylide not bound to rhodium.

Blackout The Arcade drop soaring new cut "Walk Away"
Coming from Darlington in the North East of England, Blackout The Arcade have this month dropped their soaring new cut "Walk Away", which is the first new material the quartet have released since they released "Limbo" earlier on in the year.
Members of the band have been together since 2016, but early in 2020 they changed their name to what it is today due to a line-up change. With loads of shows already under their belt the four lads are certainly not ones to be phased when they step up to the stage, and considering how big this single could get - that's a good thing.
Laden with towering guitar hooks and a driving vocal performance, the band channel some of their influences from the likes of The Killers and Catfish and the Bottlemen. The latter of those two is very prominent in the tail end of the song, as the band build and build the atmosphere before a cascading wall of guitar, bass and drums fill your ears - giving you a thrilling treat to wrap your ears around.
Speaking about the new single the band said - "This song continues on from our previous single 'Limbo' about getting into the start of a potentially toxic relationship end seeing it through blinded by how you want things to turn out."
The North East of England is starting to get a reputation for producing some amazing guitar based acts, and Blackout The Arcade is the latest alumni to join the roster.

The FT's Aimee Keane highlights the key stories to watch for in the coming week, including the independence referendum in Catalonia, H&M's results and the start of Japan's new parliamentary session.
Filmed and produced by Jay Bungay.
Welcome to The Week Ahead. Here are the stories we'll be watching in the next few days.
The government of the Catalonia region in Spain will attempt to vote on an independence referendum. We'll get another check on the retail sector when Hennes & Mauritz, the Swedish owner of fast fashion retailer H&M releases its third quarter results.
And Japan prepares for a new parliamentary session amid expectations Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will call for a snap general election.
We'll start with the independence referendum in Catalonia. The local government will attempt to hold a referendum on Sunday on the question of whether to become an independent state. Anticipation of the vote has fueled tensions between the local and central Spanish governments. The Spanish courts have ruled the vote illegal. And the central government has vowed to stop it from taking place.
Last week, thousands of Catalan separatists stepped up protests against the Spanish state after national police raided Catalan government buildings and made a series of arrests of local officials. The FT's Michael Stothard has more from Madrid.
The Catalan governments say that the vote will go on regardless. And if the people vote yes, they will unilaterally declare independence within 48 hours. This is shaping up to be the most severe constitutional crisis in Spain since the attempted army coup in 1981.
Now, to the next round of results in the closely watched retail sector. Hennes & Mauritz, the parent company of fast fashion producer H&M, released its third quarter earnings on Thursday. And investors will be looking for signs the retailer can shake off a long period of sluggish sales growth. Shares in the company, which is the world's second largest fashion retailer, have risen by about 7% so far in September on analysts' expectations that an aggressive clear out of inventory from H&M can boost future earnings. The FT's Richard Milne has more on what investors will be watching for.
H&M has been squeezed on all sides in recent years. It's been hit by budget retailers who are undercutting it on price. It's also been hit by slightly more upmarket retailers like Zara, which are owned by Inditex, which has now become the world's largest fashion retailer ahead of the Swedish company.
And then the final challenge it's facing is that there are online only retailers, [INAUDIBLE] or Zalando in Europe, which are also taking a lot of its business. So what H&M needs to show is that it can stabilise its business, it can grow, and it can become more profitable. And I think that's what investors will be looking at in these quarterly results, if they get a sign of that.
And to Japan. On Thursday, the country's new parliamentary session is due to start. But it may be over in an instant, as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is widely expected to dissolve the assembly and call a snap general election. This comes as the opposition Democratic Party, which has dealt with a series of scandals and party defections, risks a fracturing of the left-wing vote. Analysts predict that Mr. Abe's ruling Liberal Democratic Party may lose only 5 to 15 of its 288 seats, which would leave it with a clear majority.
Despite the splintering on the left, there is a wildcard in the political field. And that is a new party set up by Tokyo's popular governor, Yuriko Koike. But by going to the polls now, Mr. Abe can strike before her organisation goes nationwide.
The most likely date for the vote is October 22nd. The FT's Tokyo bureau chief Robin Harding has more on what voters in Japan can expect from Mr. Abe's campaign.
He's well-placed to win. But the big economic consequence will be in terms of fiscal policy. Japan is due to raise consumption tax from 8% to 10% in the autumn of 2019. Signs are Mr. Abe's manifesto will keep that pledge, but divert much of the money away from deficit reduction and towards nursery and university education.
And that's what the week ahead looks like from the FT in New York.


Today, I am going to discuss about the Snuckls update.
So, first of all, what is Snuckls?
Snuckls is a free online lottery that requests you to watch 5 Youtube videos in order to get an entrance.
Now, for those of you that might have heard about Snuckls a few months ago, you probably know that it offers a daily Jackpot of $3,600.
Right now, Snuckls changes the value of Jackpot from week to week.
This week the Jackpot value seems to be at a maximum of $1000.
So, why is this? Have they gone bankrupt?
Well, the answer is no. It is quite the other way around. The owners have made so much money from Snuckls that they decided to build another similar business called Baymack.
However, they decided to cut how much people with from the Jackpot and invest all of that money within Baymack. You know, in Fb ads, Twitter ads, Google/Bing ads and so on.
Baymack does the same thing as Snuckls. It generates Youtube views for their clients. However, the winning opportunity it differs.
For example, at Snuckls there is a daily Jackpot, now $1000, that 'can' be won any day by more than 1 individuals. On the other hand, at Baymack, there is a daily Jackpot that "is" won each day by 1 individual. The main Jackpot is one every single day because whenever you finished watching 5 videos, you will automatically get a ticket for the daily draw.
At Snuckls, you would have got a ticket on which you had to match 5 numbers out of 42 in order to win the daily Jackpot. At Baymack, this isn't the methodology. The Jackpot winner is randomly chosen each day.
That's pretty much why the Jackpot at Snuckls has suddenly gone from $3k to $1k per day.
Here are my reviews on both opportunities: Snuckls Review & Baymack Review.
This is because they have closed their business. However, you can check my Earn Money Online section in order to find new opportunities that will generate you money!

I'd argue it's the greatest drama series in the history of television. The Emmy's have a lot to answer for.
I do like this line and I use it in regular conversation ha https://alexraphael.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/lines-of-the-day-10/

It is certainly in the running for greatest drama series. I say Breaking Bad competes for that title, too.
I see so little TV that it's hard for me to know what else I'd put in the conversation, but The Wire and Breaking Bad are the best I've ever seen.
I've not mentioned Mad men, Breaking bad or Dexter as though I've seen a lot of them, not the most recent series of each. I'll come back to you on it.
Dexter's first season is brilliant. It goes downhill from there until it goes completely off the rails in season 6. Not anywhere near one of the best dramas ever.
I haven't seen Mad Men (outside of the first two episodes which didn't grip me). So I have no real opinion on that one. 😉
Hmmm. Have seen the first 4 series of Dexter so don't agree with you so much on that. It doesn't keep its consistency as well as the first series but I still like it a lot. Mad Men has its qualities but only seen the first 4 series. I do rate it but I need to see where it goes in series 5.
A show that really did go off the rails for me was Six Feet Under. I'd go as far as to say it jumped the shark in series 4.
Agreed on Six Feet Under.
And you haven't hit the worst of Dexter yet. Seasons 2, 3 and 4 are not as good as 1, but all have merits. I think 4 the most flawed of all of them, what with a ridiculous cliffhanger and Jon Lithgow's one note performance. Still, 4 isn't bad. Then, it makes a rebound (in my opinion) in 5; I'd go so far as to say 5 is the season best season of the show's run.
6 & 7, however, are . . . not good. And 8 is so universally disliked that I haven't bothered to watch it.
I tried to get into Ball's latest with True Blood but not even close to liking it. Great opening credits though.
I do worry that Dexter will turn into X-Files and go on too long but on form I really do rate Dexter so I imagine we'll have this convo again soon. I've given up on Homeland after a very poor series 3.
What current shows are you watching?
We will discuss more of Dexter once you have seen seasons 6 and 7. I don't think I've heard from or met a soul who liked either. I'd be quite surprised if you're first. 🙂
Now that Breaking Bad is finished, Justified is the only show for which I still make time. It hooked me with a Gangstagrass theme song (though at the time I still didn't know who Gangstagrass was). Bluegrass and hip-hop are my two favorite musical genres, so combining them . . . yeah I'm in.
Justified is very good. Very. But Best Drama Ever? Not even close.

I know you cover films more than TV shows, but if you ever have the time on the way to or back from work whatever, I'd be curious if you could do a top 50 TV shows.
I don't honestly know that I've seen enough TV to endeavor such a task. Most of the great shows, historically anyway, are Showtime and HBO, neither of which I've ever paid to get. I've only seen Carnivale, Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, The Wire, and Dexter on DVD. And that is the full extent of my premium channel television show exposure.
(No Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, etc.)
Honestly, I think you should put together the Top 50 TV shows list so that I know what to watch. 🙂
I'm flattered. I've done lists in the past, so only a few to add If i can track them down. Mind you i've still not written up the Agassi review or The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
It is stunning how quickly this blogging thing can get backloaded. 🙂
