Chinese President Xi Jinping (Photo by Akira Kodaka)
China's Xi maneuvers to extend his reign
As 'core' leader, the president may try to break retirement rules
KATSUJI NAKAZAWA, Nikkei senior staff writer March 20, 2017 12:40 JST
BEIJING -- In any large organization, the top leader's influence can erode if an heir apparent emerges. The Chinese Communist Party is no exception, but Xi Jinping is now fighting to avoid that fate.
The 63-year-old Chinese president, who also heads the ruling party as general secretary, is facing a moment of truth ahead of a leadership reshuffle this autumn.
The Politburo Standing Committee, the top decision-making body, will change its membership at the party's twice-a-decade national congress. Most of the seven committee members are scheduled to step down, having reached retirement age.
If Xi follows custom, he will have to narrow down his potential successors. That was the case in 2007, when Xi himself emerged as a shoo-in to take over from Hu Jintao as general secretary and president of China.
But 10 years on, the political atmosphere is quite different, and Xi has made no move to choose the next in line from among the younger generation of party leaders. Beijing is festooned with red banners calling on people to rally behind the Communist Party, with Xi as its "core." That designation sets him apart from past leaders, who were merely "first among equals." Xi was named the party's core last autumn.
Well centered
Premier Li Keqiang delivered a speech in Beijing on March 5 at the opening of the National People's Congress, China's rubber stamp parliament. In his remarks, he repeatedly referred to Xi as the core of the party.
Given the delicate relationship between Xi and Li, there was an interesting scene on the opening day of the annual parliamentary session. Li called out to Xi when they were leaving. By doing so, Li humbly paid his respects to the core leader. But Xi avoided eye contact with Li, replied perfunctorily and left without waiting for him, underscoring Li's subordinate position.
"Now that Xi has won core status, he will continue to play the leading part. He will not specify who will step into his shoes in the future. Instead, he will still make many candidates compete with each other," a party official said. This view is widely shared.
Xi was named general secretary at the party's national congress in the autumn of 2012. He then became president, taking the top government post in the spring of 2013.
In China, leaders are not democratically elected. The law of the jungle prevails in power struggles within the Communist Party. If a top leader is powerful enough, he can break unspoken rules or customs.
Under the Chinese constitution, the president can serve up to two five-year terms. That means Xi must step down by 2023. There are no term limits for the general secretary, but Xi's two immediate predecessors, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, relinquished both their top party and government posts almost simultaneously when they retired.
The retirement age for Politburo Standing Committee members was set at 68 at the party's 2002 national congress. But this is merely customary; there are no official rules on the matter.
Since his inauguration, Xi has used a high-profile anti-corruption campaign as a tool in his struggle with political foes. Having consolidated his power, he now appears poised to extend his reign beyond the party's 2022 national congress.
Hanging on
It is now clear that Xi intends to use the "national supervisory commission," a new, nominally independent institution to be set up next year, to further his political ambitions. The commission will be authorized to crack down further, even on people who are not Communist Party members.
The party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has so far served as a command center for the anti-corruption crusade. Many corrupt officials have been netted in the campaign. But the current system, whereby the party cracks down on members first and state and judicial organs move later, is full of contradictions. In addition, the party commission cannot punish outsiders.
The sweeping reform of the state supervisory system could give Xi a convenient excuse to break precedent regarding personnel changes. Wang Qishan, Xi's close political ally and China's top graft buster, will be a main architect of the new commission. He has spearheaded the corruption crackdown as head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Wang, now 68, and Xi have been friends since they were boys. Wang is like a big brother to Xi.
Wang has already reached the unofficial party retirement age of 68, but Xi could retain him as a Politburo Standing Committee member beyond 2017 in the name of maintaining momentum in the fight against corruption. One radical idea doing the rounds: Wang could be slotted in as general secretary.
That would be a surprise promotion. But if history is any guide, it could happen. If Wang were to inherit the post, it would not be the same one currently held by Xi: It would not be the top party post.
The post envisaged for Wang is similar to the one Deng Xiaoping held in the 1950s, when Mao Zedong, China's revolutionary leader, served as party chairman with unrivaled authority. Deng was merely head of the party secretariat.
In short, promoting Wang to general secretary would be a way to extend Xi's reign beyond 2022. Revisions to party rules this year to revive the post of party chairman would pave the way for Xi to assume that title and serve two five-year terms through 2027.
If Premier Li, now 61, stays on as premier and Wang becomes general secretary of the party, that would create a three-man leadership troika.
The number of Politburo Standing Committee members was reduced from nine to seven at the party's 2012 national congress. Xi might try to cut the number to five this autumn -- the triumvirate and two new faces.
Under the unofficial retirement age system, the current committee members other than Xi and Li are supposed to retire at the party congress this autumn. Wang will be 69 when the congress convenes.
Older and wiser?
Wang is a veteran politician with a wide network of connections in the financial world and elsewhere in the U.S. Wang's experience may be an asset in dealing with the Trump administration.
To be sure, Xi's bid to keep Wang in the party leadership will face strong resistance from Xi's political foes. But the president has an ace up his sleeve. At Xi's behest, calls may grow within the party to let Wang keep his seat on the Politburo Standing Committee in recognition of his anti-corruption efforts.
Song Ping, 99, the eldest of the party's retirees, recently spoke out, saying, "If people are physically fit, they can do jobs that help others, even if they are between 65 and 75 years old, or even up to 80 years old." Song has a sharp eye for future leaders. He spotted Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao, and later helped put them on the Politburo Standing Committee.
Hu and Wen eventually served as president and premier, respectively. Song also played a key behind-the-scenes role in Xi Jinping's sudden emergence in 2007 as front-runner to take over from Hu as China's top leader.
If other party elders share Song's view that people can continue to serve at age 75 or even older, keeping Wang on as a standing committee member beyond 2017 will be easy. That, in turn, would open the door to an extended reign by Xi.
Xi's rivals have not been idle. Former President Hu, 74, is still engaged in political maneuvering. In January, Hu made a rare public appearance after months of speculation about his health. He showed up at a flower market in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. He was accompanied by a protege, Hu Chunhua (no relation), the 53-year-old party secretary of Guangdong. Hu Chunhua is a rising star in the Communist Youth League faction.
That faction, which comprises former officials of the Communist Youth League, the party's massive youth organization, was previously led by Hu Jintao and Premier Li.
The question is whether Hu Jintao will be able to counter Xi's unrivaled power as the core of the party in the tug-of-war over the makeup of the new standing committee this fall. Hu Jintao, who was not a core leader during his time in office, wants to see Hu Chunhua elevated to the standing committee.
Meanwhile, former President Jiang Zemin, 90, who once wielded enormous influence, could be left out in the cold in the current infighting over the committee members.
"Xi probably wants to make three or more candidates, including his protege, compete with each other" in the succession struggle, said one party insider.
Among potential candidates to succeed Xi are Hu Chunhua and his rival, Sun Zhengcai, a 53-year-old senior official in the key city of Chongqing. Both are Politburo members, but they are not close to Xi.
During the annual session of the parliament, Chen Min'er, a 56-year-old top official in Guizhou Province and a Xi protege, drew particularly strong attention. Chen was Xi's subordinate when the latter served as the top official in Zhejiang Province.
In stark contrast with Hu and Sun, who both played it safe, Chen faced the press actively and addressed the issue of poverty eradication on March 6. Progress in the fight against poverty is something Xi wants to highlight as an accomplishment ahead of the party congress.
But Chen is still relatively unknown among China's senior leaders. Unlike Hu and Sun, Chen is not a Politburo member. If Xi wants to see Chen leapfrog on to the standing committee, he will have to push hard. But being a core leader will give him considerable leverage.
"Under the collective leadership system, the Politburo Standing Committee is supposed to make decisions by majority vote. But now the core leader effectively has the final say," said a senior party official.
With more than six months to go before the party congress, the guessing game over the new leadership will intensify.

A car heist gone awry.
A would-be carjacker in Kent, Wash. was served up a little asphalt-heavy justice late last week, as he was dragged by the driver of a vehicle.
Twitter users @Sahrmoiwo1 and @SukkChahal captured the bizarre scene, which took place near an elementary school, local news station KIRO 7 reports.
When the SUV comes into the frame, the man is being dragged with his hands stuck in the door handle. As the vehicle comes to a stop, the man gets up — with a visibly road-burned backside — and attempts to get into the vehicle.
The driver quickly speeds off, pulling the would-be-thief once more, after he tries to keep up on his feet for a couple of strides.
The video ends as the vehicle comes to a stop, and another vehicle incidentally blocks the camera angle the Twitter users had.
Kent police told KIRO 7 that the man dragged through the streets was the suspect in several attempted carjackings and was arrested.
He was taken to a hospital for treatment.
There were also other victims with minor injuries in the melee. Police told KIRO 7 that the suspect allegedly attacked them.
The man also allegedly punched other vehicles and attempted to break door handles.

Do you have some facial age spots or wrinkles in New York City?
Do you need to improve your facial skin tone, texture and turgor?
Do you want younger looking brighter skin in NYC?
Are you looking for an affordable, non-invasive, and effective way to improve your face?
W8MD is proud to announce that we offer the popular Pollogen Legend Plus Radio Frequency full face rejuvination with microneedles for a younger and brighter looking skin.
The safe, effective, and non-invasive way to tighten, firm, & smooth the face and neck. Turn back the clock.
How does Microneedling facial rejuvination work?
We get fine lines and wrinkles as we age due to some loss of collagen fibres and reduced activity of fibroblasts. By heating the collagen fibres, microneedle radiofrequency facial rejuvination treatments cause the immediate contraction and tightening of the fibres and, firming and toning loose skin.
In addition, any unwanted fatty pockets in the face and neck area, such as under the eyes or in the 'jowl' area, are reduced when the the radiofrequency powered microneedle facial treatment stimulates natural metabolism of the fat, reshaping the treatment area.
See immediate visible results after just the first treatment. You skin will be smoother, tighter and have a more youthful overall texture. Your results will continue to improve with additional treatments and, best of all, results are long-lasting because the stimulated fibroblasts continue to produce new collagen.
W8MD's Brooklyn, New York office is proud to announce that we offer the popular RF Microneedle facial rejuvination using the latest Tripolar RF technology using the advanced Pollogen Legend Plus.
Our normal price for a session of the advanced RF Microneedle Rejuvination for the face in NYC is $450.00 per session. Typically, a series of 4-6 sessions might be needed for many although it depends what you need accomplished.

I'd wanted to do something about the wrinkles around my eyes and on my cheeks for a long time. I achieved dramatic results in just five Pollogen FACE Treatments. The wrinkles were reduced and I feel fantastic.

Dow Tumbles Nearly 200, Ahead of Jobs Report
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Thursday, relinquishing some of the big gains seen in the prior session as investors awaited jobs data coming Friday that could determine the pace of the Federal Reserve's future rate tightening.
The 30-stock index backtracked 194.76 points to close Thursday at 34,395.01.
The S&P 500 skidded 3.54 points to 4,076.57.
The NASDAQ regained 14.45 points to 11,482.45.
The moves departed from earlier boosts that followed the release of the Core Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, a closely watched gauge of spending. October data showed the index rose 0.2%, below the consensus estimate of 0.3% collected from economists by Dow Jones.
Shares of Salesforce tumbled about 8.3% – helping to drag down the Dow – after the software company said its co-CEO would be stepping down soon. The index dropped as much as 460 points earlier in the session, a turn from the gain of more than 700 points seen Wednesday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell appeared to confirm the central bank will slow down its tightening.
Costco dropped about 6.6% after the pace of November sales slowed to a 5.7% gain from the prior year. In October, sales climbed 7.7% from a year ago. The November data is an ominous sign during the peak holiday selling season. The wholesale retailer also reported a 10.1% decline in e-commerce sales during the period.
Despite a bullish open on the back of a slightly better than expected inflation measure watched by the Federal Reserve, traders showed caution before the important Friday jobs report.
Investors are looking to data on non-farm payrolls, the unemployment rate and hourly wages Friday for insight into the labor market, which has been relatively strong despite hopes of contraction as the Fed looks to cool inflation. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect the U.S. added 200,000 jobs in November, which would be a decrease from the 261,000 gained in the prior month.
Prices for the 10-year Treasury barreled upward, lowering yields to 3.51% from Tuesday's 3.64%. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.
Gold prices popped $57.20 to $1,817.10 U.S. an ounce.

Tracy Morgan Seriously Hurt in Car Accident on Way to New York
Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan, 45, remains in critical condition after a horrific fatal accident that claimed the life of a fellow comedian and close friend of Morgan. The men were in a group traveling back to New York City with five others in Morgan's 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. They had just finished a performance in Delaware at the Dover Downs Hotel and Casino.
The accident occurred on the New Jersey Turnpike in Cranbury at approximately 1 a.m. According to a spokesman for the New Jersey State Police, a 35-year-old Georgia man driving a truck for corporate behemoth Wal-Mart fell asleep behind the wheel and slammed into the luxury limo bus.
Morgan, who became famous as part of the cast of "Saturday Night Live" before going on to star on 30 Rock, was critically injured when the vehicle overturned. Other cars were then involved in the subsequent chain reaction car accident.
Both Morgan and his assistant were taken by helicopter to a facility in New Brunswick, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, where their conditions were described as "critical." The 63-year-old man who died at the scene was a confidante of Morgan and one of his writers. There were two other comedians on the bus who also suffered injuries.
The Wal-Mart driver has been charged with multiple counts of assault by a motor vehicle and a count of death by auto. This information was provided by the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office. His bail is $50,000.
Morgan's publicist released a statement that his family is now with him and his condition is not expected to change at this time. The Daily News quoted a unnamed source who said he remains "in very bad shape."
Regardless of the outcome of the criminal charges against the truck driver, there is likely to be civil litigation resulting from the driver's negligence.

Turystyka w Senegalu – znacząca gałąź gospodarki Senegalu. W 2018 roku stanowiła ona ok. 6% PKB Senegalu i wygenerowała prawie 100 000 miejsc pracy. Senegal uważany był za pioniera rozwoju turystyki w Afryce.

Znaczenie
Po zdobyciu niepodległości od Francji w 1960 roku turystyka odgrywała skrajnie mały udział w gospodarce kraju. Po tym, gdy firma turystyczna Club Med w latach 70. XX wieku zbudowała w Senegalu swoją pierwszą placówkę, ta dziedzina gospodarki zaczęła się powoli rozbudowywać i rozwijać. Na początku XXI wieku turystyka stała się ważną częścią gospodarki Senegalu. Od lat 90. rząd Senegalu starał się rozwijać tę działalność i dotrzeć do gości spoza dawnej potęgi kolonialnej Francji (pod którą do 1960 roku się znajdował) i przyciągać turystów głównie z Hiszpanii, Wielkiej Brytanii i Włoch, częściowo motywując się zachowaniami turystycznymi sąsiadującej Gambii, która przyciąga większą część turystów z Europy Północnej i Ameryki do nadmorskich kurortów w prowincji i stolicy kraju, Bandżulu.

W 2008 roku Senegal odwiedziło ponad milion zagranicznych turystów, odwiedzając głównie luksusowe kurorty nadmorskie, miejsca przyrodnicze i historyczne. Stopa zwrotu w tym okresie wyniosła około 30%.

Przyszłe prognozy turystyczne ogłoszone w 2009 roku wzbudziły obawy, że globalne pogorszenie koniunktury (spowodowane kryzysem finansowym w latach 2007–2009) wywrze bardzo negatywny wpływ na wizyty turystyczne w Senegalu w 2009 i 2010 roku, a wskaźnik rezerwacji miejsc spadnie z 30% rok wcześniej do około 5%, co ostatecznie się stało, a Senegal odnotował spadek zainteresowania turystycznego, który w 2012 spadł poniżej prognozowanych 5%. Wpływ na spadek turystyki ma także rozpowszechnianie się wirusa Ebola. Od 2015 roku rząd stara się walczyć o ponowny wzrost znaczenia turystyki.

Atrakcje
Turyści z USA – głównie Afroamerykanie – są jedną z najliczniejszych grup przybywających w celach turystycznych do Senegalu, przyciągnięci zwłaszcza przez historyczny punkt handlu niewolnikami na wyspie Gorée. Wyspa Gorée, dawniej centrum handlu niewolnikami w Afryce Zachodniej, wpisana została na Listę Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO.

Zainteresowanie turystów obejmuje głównie stolicę, Dakar, a także miasto Saint-Louis, stare miasto kolonialne i święte centrum Mouride w Toubie. Większość turystów spoza Afryki to Europejczycy, zwłaszcza Francuzi.

Wycieczki wakacyjne organizowane przez biura podróży często są uzupełniane przez wycieczki przyrodnicze i krajoznawcze w obszarach takich jak Delta Sine-Saloum, Grande Côte (na północ od Dakaru), La Rose i delta rzeki Senegal na północy (w pobliżu Saint-Louis). Turystów przyciągają także zabytki wokół Dakaru, wyspa Gorée, muzea i inne lokalne zabytki. Na północy miasto Saint-Louis w kolonialnej wyspie odwiedzane jest ze względu na długą historię i kolonialną architekturę. Istnieją również wycieczki safari, aby zobaczyć dziką przyrodę, w ostatnich latach ograniczone przez standardy południowoafrykańskie dotyczące ochrony zwierząt.

Senegal jest uważany za jedno z najlepszych miejsc na świecie do obserwacji oraz połowów żaglic (Istiophorus).

Parki narodowe i krajobrazowe

Senegal ma niewielki, ale rozwijający się program rozwojowy parków narodowych i rezerwatów. Godne uwagi są między innymi Park Narodowy Langue de Barbarie i Park Narodowy Oiseaux du Djoudj, które zapewniają bezpieczeństwo siedlisk dzikich zwierząt na wydmach i bagnach namorzynowych otaczających ujście rzeki Senegal w pobliżu miasta Saint-Louis.

Park Narodowy Niokolo-Koba jest na Liście Światowego Dziedzictwa UNESCO. Jest to naturalny obszar chroniony w południowo-wschodnim Senegalu w pobliżu granicy z Gwinea Bissau, która chroni dużą różnorodność dzikich zwierząt, w tym hipopotamów, słoni i lwów. Obszar ten jest w znacznym stopniu niezagospodarowany i nie ma infrastruktury turystycznej, ale jest celem wycieczek specjalistycznych.

Park Narodowy Basse-Casamance, w części południowej, obejmuje zarówno ekoturystykę oraz tropikalne wycieczki do lasu i popularny ośrodek nadmorski mający oparcie na turystyce zagranicznej. Konflikt w Casamance hamuje rozwój turystyczny w tej dziedzinie. Park został zamknięty na początku konfliktu z powodu działalności rebeliantów i walk na terenie kopalni. Obecnie tereny te kontrolowane są przez wojsko, które kategorycznie zabrania wstępu na obszar parku.

Park Narodowy Delta du Saloum to przede wszystkim duży obszar namorzynowy przy ujściach rzek i wyspach, odwiedzany przez turystów ze względu na dzikie zwierzęta. Mniejsze parki i rezerwaty, takie jak rezerwat przyrody Guembeul na środkowym zachodzie lub rezerwat przyrody Bandia w pobliżu Dakaru, wychodzą z założenia przede wszystkim bardziej konwencjonalnego europejskiego przemysłu turystycznego, przypominającego parki dzikiej przyrody lub zoo.

Infrastruktura turystyczna
Głównym punktem, do którego kierują się turyści udający się w podróż do Senegalu było międzynarodowe lotnisko Dakar-Yoff-Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport. W 2017 roku został wybudowany nowy port lotniczy – im. Blaise'a Diagne, który stał się głównym lotniskiem kraju i obsługuje większość lotów.

Od początku lat 10. XXI wieku notuje się także wzrost liczby przybywających pracowników azjatyckich podróżujących w celu realizacji projektów budowlanych finansowanych przez rząd chiński. Stany Zjednoczone otworzyły loty do Senegalu na linii Delta w grudniu 2006 roku trasie Atlanta – Dakar – Johannesburg – Dakar – Atlanta. Umowa o otwartym niebie między USA a Senegalem podpisana w styczniu 2001 roku położyła solidne podwaliny pod bezpośrednie połączenia między USA a Senegalem przez amerykańskich przewoźników. Brytyjskie firmy turystyczne, od dawna organizujące wycieczki do sąsiedniej Gambii, zaczęły niedługo później wchodzić również na rynek pakietów turystycznych do Senegalu, który do niedawna był zdominowany przez francuskie i belgijskie firmy.

Dla zwiedzających dostępne jest wiele kościołów, kaplic, synagog, meczetów oraz katedr.

Promocja turystyki w Senegalu
Regulacja, promocja i rozwój krajowego sektora turystycznego leży w gestii Senegalskiego Ministerstwa Turystyki (Ministère des Sénégalais de l'Extérieur et du Tourisme, SENEX). Wiele agencji, zarządów i partnerstw, które zarządzają i promują senegalską turystykę, składa sprawozdania temu ministerstwu. Należą do nich m.in. Dyrekcja ds. Studiów i Planowania Turystyki (Direction des Etudes et de la Planification touristique), Dyrekcja Regulacji i Struktury Turystycznej (Direction de la Réglementation et de l'Encadrement du Tourisme) oraz Krajowa Rada Promocji Turystyki (Agence nationale de la Promotion touristique – ANPT).

Ponadto biura ministerstwa specjalizują się w finansowaniu infrastruktury i promocji przemysłu turystycznego (Secrétariat du Comité de Gestion de Fonds de Promotion Touristique) i zamorskiej szkole szkolenia w branży turystycznej (Secrétariat du Comité de Fests de Fonds de Promotion Touristique – ENFHT).

91-year-old Deanna came to visit me to find some comfort after her beloved husband Alvin died. Turns out, she spent more time teaching me Torat Chayim (the Torah of Life).
We must live in the world of the ordinary. But if we then open our eyes and look — really look — we can glimpse the extraordinary.
Synagogues, like our own Congregation Or Ami, are retooling, experimenting, failing at times, and picking themselves up to innovate anew. The results are exhilarating! Jewish Start Up Synagogues – often the older shuls that are renewing themselves – are exciting and exceedingly hopeful.
Lech L'cha - our journeys, especially those that lead us beyond the familiar or out of our comfort zones, can lead to inspiring metamorphosis. When Abraham and Sarah ventured into the unknown, they became a long lasting great nation. We pray that by embracing inclusion our synagogues, camps, youth movements, day schools, JCC's and other Jewish organizations will similarly heed the Divine call.
Genesis, Parashat Bereshit, overflows with abiding lessons about Creation, humanity's purpose, Torah's truth, life's unclarity, radical amazement. Here are this year's favorite Torah Tidbits.

Sita Sings the Blues Now on YouTube
in Film | October 28th, 2009 6 Comments
Nina Paley, a self-taught animator, released in 2008 an 82-minute animated film, Sita Sings the Blues, that mingles the classic Indian myth, The Ramayana, with contemporary autobiographical events, and it's all set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw. The film, which launched the San Francisco International Animation Festival, has won awards and gathered a lot of fans. In late February, Paley handed the film over to the public, releasing it under a Creative Commons license (download it here). And she has now made it available on YouTube. Hence the visually stunning film above. Naturally, we've added Sita Sings the Blues to our collection of YouTube favorites.
In the meantime, check out our new collection, 30 Places to Watch Free Movies Online

As an interested person on the subject of Hinduism mythology and animation and India I watched, listened and remembered how much I love the old blues songs too! What a fabulous film and a wonderful mind to put all of that together!
Applause, applause from me and I bought the DVD!
Happy future to the artists!
JulianKaruk says:
I've started to watch Sita and each time I was interrupted after 15 or 20 minutes. Tonight I watched it all and it was just fabulous. Finally. I watched interviews with Paley hearing the backstory to the animation which really adds a spice as well. Love it. Yay.
Susiecrmchs says:
A long time after falling in love and owning the film which I watch occasionally now just for the music, I also purchased a Sita doll made in India by "needy" women….lovely little thing Sitaing on my shelf!

Use: Lightly steamed, the leaves make a tasty side dish. The roots are delightful boiled and eaten warm or cooled and added to a green salad. Bake or roast beets whole in the oven as one does potatoes for a unique culinary treat.
Beet 'Bulls Blood' is a magnificent dual purpose variety known for its deep red coloured leaves. This old variety has been used for both ornamental and culinary use since Victorian times. It was listed pre-1900 in England and is probably the only decorative-leafed Victorian beetroot variety surviving. This useful crop can be used at any stage of growth, harvest the leaves for baby leaf, in mixed salads or use steamed like spinach, or the roots can be left to grow like any other beetroot.

ME! I never liked Lois. For a smart woman, she sure was an idiot. Either always in trouble - due to a lack of common sense, more than anything else. And, in all her other incarnations, seriously? This award-winning investigative journalist just COULDN'T FIGURE OUT IT WAS THE SAME GUY??
Nah. I've never liked that dumb broad.
It always bugged me that Lois couldn't figure it out. That's one of the things I loved about MOS.
That was my thought too. Certainly looks like him. Wish the pic wasn't so blurry.

MLB playoffs 2019: Yankees vs. Twins | ALDS analysis, matchups, preview, prediction
Updated Oct 04, 2019; Posted Oct 04, 2019
Aaron Judge and the Yankees will be slugging out with Max Kepler and the Minnesota Twins in a best-of-five ALDS that figures that includes a lot of home runs.AP
By Randy Miller | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
(UPDATED: Friday, Oct. 4 with complete ALDS rosters)
NEW YORK — The Yankees visit to Minneapolis in July was fluky. Even with new juiced baseballs in play, 20 home runs in three games didn't seem like real big-league ball, especially at a hitters' friendly ballpark like Target Field.
The Minnesota Twins were on a record pace for homers, and they showed why, belting 12 against Yankees pitching. The Yanks countered with eight, and they got the last laugh winning two of the three slugfests thanks to the one of the best clutch catches ever, a face-in-the-dirt diving grab in left-center field by Aaron Hicks that was game-saving and game-ending.
These wild games deserve an encore, and the baseball gods made it happen, as the Yanks and Twins will be meeting up again in a best-of-five American League Division Series that begins Friday night at Yankee Stadium.
Rightfully so, home runs are the No. 1 storyline.
Nobody hit 270 in a season before 2019, but both the Yankees and Twins topped 300 this year slugging their way into the record books. The Twins are the new record holders with 307, which is one more than the 306 hit by the Yanks, who also set a record with 14 players reaching double figures.
But these division champs didn't just live and die by the long ball.
Who will prevail? We'll find over the next week or so if the winner slugs its way into the ALCS or if we'll see some good old-fashioned playoff baseball …aka low-scoring games with some quality pitching.
"It is playoff baseball and the pitching tends to step up a little bit and be the name of the game in October," Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner said. "We still have two high-powered offenses, and I'm sure a couple of balls will go over the fence, maybe even from both sides."
Here are matchups, series keys and predictions:
POSITION BREAKDOWN
Yankees' DJ LeMahieu vs. Twins' C.J. Cron
Bottom line: Luke Voit hasn't been the same since opting to play with his sports hernia, so the Yankees will stick their best hitter and AL MVP candidate at first base. The Twins' counter to LeMahieu is a right-handed power bat in Cron, but he's struggled against right-handed pitching (.225 average) and his numbers fell off a lot in the second half due to a right thumb injury that's had him on the injured list twice.
Edge: Yankees
Yankees' Gleyber Torres vs. Twins' Luis Arraez or Jonathan Schoop
Bottom line: Torres followed a great rookie season in 2018 with a better sophomore campaign that included a team-high 38 homers, but he hit just .184 over his final 12 games and his defensive play still needs to become more consistent. Arraez, a .334 hitter over 92 games as a rookie, will be available for the Twins after suffering an ankle sprain last weekend. Schoop also may see time at second, as he popped 23 homers this year starting 110 games at second and three at DH.
Yankees' Didi Gregorius vs. Twins' Jorge Polanco
Bottom line: Gregorius' .238 average was his lowest in his five years with the Yankees, but he was productive, hit in the clutch and, as usual, played a very good shortstop. Polanco ranked in the top five for AL shortstops in average (.295), homers (22) and RBI (79), but his .957 fielding percentage was among the lowest.
Edge: Even
Yankees' Gio Urshela vs. Twins' Miguel Sano
Bottom line: Urshela was a Triple-A afterthought at the start of the season, then took advantage of Miguel Andujar's season being over by mid-May to put up shocking offensive numbers (.314 average, 21 HR, 74 RBI) while looking like a 1970 Brooks Robinson playing third. Sano is far less skilled defensively – his .926 fielding percentage is terrible – but the 6-foot-4, 272-pound Dominican bashed 34 homers over 380 ABs in 105 games after not starting his season until May 16 due to a heel injury.
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton vs. Twins' Eddie Rosario
Bottom line: Stanton is hungry to salvage an injury-plagued season by showcasing his superstar talent on baseball's biggest stage, and an impactful October suddenly seems realistic based on his eight games since his Sept. 18 return (.286 average, 2 HR, 6 RBI). Rosario is far less heralded, but the Puerto Rican's career-best numbers are impressive (32 HR, 109 RBI) and he's heading into October hot with a .315 average and 14 RBI over his last 13 games.
Edge: Even.
Yankees' Brett Gardner vs. Twins' Max Kepler
Bottom line: Gardner looked about done last year, then he returned this season expecting to be a fourth outfielder and ended up putting up career-best numbers (27 HR, 74 RBI, .829 OPS) as a fill-in starter. Kepler is one of many big bats in the Twins' lineup, and like Gardner, he switched from a corner outfield spot (right) to center due to a starter suffering a season-ending injury (Brian Buxton). Kepler's health has been a concern, but he'll be ready for the ALDS after suffering a shoulder injury on Sept. 14.
Yankees' Aaron Judge vs. Twins' Marwin Gonzalez
Bottom line: Judge followed an extended slump by peaking at the right time, as he heads into the postseason with a .301 average and 15 homers over his final 36 games. The Twins may use a platoon in right with the switch-hitting Gonzalez playing against lefties and Cave facing the righties. Gonzalez hasn't played since Sept. 22 due to oblique tightness, but is ready to return but could sit a game due to hot backup Jake Cave, a former Yankees farmhand who hit .306 with a .972 OPS over 34 games since Aug. 6.
Edge: Yankees.
Yankees' Gary Sanchez vs. Twins' Mitch Garver
Bottom line: You never know what you're getting from Sanchez. He's sometimes the best-hitting catcher in the game, and other times he drifts into long slumps. And we all know that his great throwing arm can be trumped by defensive lapses, although there were few this year. Sanchez slugged 34 homers in just 106 games, but hit just .183 over his final 49 games. Also, he's prone to injury due to frequent leg strains, which resulted in three IL stints this season. The Twins have no star power at catcher, but Garver and Castro are a very good platoon who combined for 44 homers and 97 RBI while being run on for just 47 steals. Garver, who had 31 homers, likely will get the bulk of the action and may lead off for the Twins.
Yankees' Edwin Encarnacion vs. Twins' Nelson Cruz
Bottom line: This is an area of concern for the Yankees because Encarnacion hasn't played since Sept. 12 due to an oblique strain. Cruz has been the Twins' MVP in his first season with the club, and he continued to put up great numbers in the second half as a 39-year-old playing with a ruptured tendon in his left wrist.
Edge: Twins.
Yankees: James Paxton, Masahiro Tanaka and Luis Severino.
Twins: Jose Berrios, Jake Odorizzi, and Randy Dobnak.
Bottom line: This new era of baseball that we're in where starters are counted on for five good innings and openers sometimes are used figures to be showcased in the Yankees-Twins series. Paxton and Tanaka will start the first two games for the Yanks, then Severino will start Game 3. After that, Chad Green may start Game 4 as an opener, if the series goes to a fourth game. J.A. Happ? He'll be in the bullpen for the first two games and a candidate to start or pitch in relief late in the series. The Twins are expected to counter with their two best starters, which are a big drop from the Yankees, then use openers in front of struggling vet Kyle Gibson and/or rookie Randy Dobnak for Games 3 and 4.
Yankees: Zack Britton, Luis Cessa, Aroldis Chapman, Chad Green, J.A. Happ, Tommy Kahnle, Jonathan Loaisiga, Tyler Lyons and Adam Ottavino.
Twins: Tyler Duffey, Kyle Gibson, Brusdar Graterol, Zack Littell, Trevor May, Taylor Rogers, Sergio Romo, Devin Smeltzer and Cody Stashak.
Bottom line: Not so fast declaring this area a big advantage for the Yankees, who have more standout high-leverage relievers than anyone. This will be a strength for the Yankees if Ottavino and Kahnle recover from some late-season issues, but the Twins' no-name bullpen (which includes four rookies) has been a huge weapon in the second half and posted a 3.27 ERA since Aug. 16 that ranked first in the AL.
Yankees: Cameron Maybin, Austin Romine, Tyler Wade and Luke Voit.
Twins: Jake Cave, Jonathan Schoop, Ehire Adrianza and Jason Castro
Bottom line: The Yankees and Twins' reserves appear pretty, as both teams have power, speed and versatility available for spot duty.
Yankees' Aaron Boone vs. Twins' Rocco Baldelli
Bottom line: Both are worthy of strong AL Manager of the Year consideration. Boone did an amazing job leading the Yanks to 103 wins and the team's first division title since 2012 while dealing with 30 players spending time on the injury list. Baldelli guided the Twins to 101 wins and an AL Central crown in a season in which nobody was picking them to make the playoffs after a 78-84 previous year that led to a manager change.
KEYS TO VICTORY
Yankees:
1. Take advantage of having much better starting pitching plus a more experienced and deeper bullpen.
2. Utilize all that comes with playing home games in October at Yankee Stadium.
3. Don't get anyone else hurt.
Twins:
1. Go home after Game 2 with a split.
2. Young relievers must tune out postseason pressure and continue second-half success.
3. Do what they do best … hit a bunch of home runs.
Friday, Oct. 4: Twins at Yankees, Game 1, 7:07 p.m., EST
Saturday, Oct. 5: Twins at Yankees, Game 2, 5:07 p.m., EST
Monday, Oct. 7: Yankees at Twins, Game 3
Tuesday, Oct. 8 Yankees at Twins, Game 4, if necessary
Thursday, Oct. 9: Twins at Yankees, Game 5 if necessary
Buy Yankees ALDS tickets: StubHub, SeatGeek, PrimeSport
Randy Miller: I'm expecting a long series because the Twins can match the Yankees' power, their young, no-name bullpen is a lot better than people realize and 101-win teams usually don't go quietly in the first round of the playoffs. Eventually, postseason experience and home-field advantage will tip this the Yankees' way and they'll advance to the ALCS for a probable 2017 rematch with the big, bad Houston Astros. … Yankees in 5.
Brendan Kuty: It will be a high-scoring affair with neither starting rotation doing its offense any favors. The Yankees' bullpen will be too much for the Twins. Also, bank on it: Giancarlo Stanton will have his "true Yankee" moment. … Yankees in 3.

Q: Windows 8 Programs' right-click menus/drop down lists showing up garbled It seems more and more menus, drop down lists, etc. across many programs on my machine are showing garbage instead of their actual contents. Check out the screenshot:

I don't recall if I had this issue in Windows 7, but it's possible (though it's only started going beyond drop down lists into even some tooltips. Here's a screenshot from a program I just downloaded (Quoll Writer):

I'm running with a pair of not-bridged Radeon HD 4890 video cards (3 monitor setup), on Windows 8. It runs on an AMD Phenom II X4 945 processor, and 8GB of RAM. I don't seem to have any other graphical glitches (in video games, HD video, etc), but this one seems to be getting worse. Any ideas?
Chrome's bookmark bar's subfolder also suffers:

Special Occasions Reminder
The Great Imposter
Halloween has been one of my favorite times of year ever since I was kid. At first it was because of the candy, just like every other kid out there, but as I got older, it became about the idea of being able to dress up and be anything I wanted to be, no matter how absurd it was. (I once was a cow complete with an udder purse my mom creatively made!) Now, humans get to pretend, but what about gemstones? Let's talk about The Great Imposter!
In the middle of the 14th century, the Arab Muslim Prince of Granada, was killed by Peter of Castile, also known as Don Pedro the Cruel. Don Pedro took a beautiful, large, red gemstone from among the Prince's possessions for himself. Later, when Don Pedro bargained for help from England, he used the beautiful, large, red gemstone as payment to the Black Prince, Edward of Woodstock, Prince of Wales. That gemstone became known as The Black Prince's Ruby and was worn by Henry V into battle, and later, was placed on the Imperial State Crown for Queen Victoria's coronation in 1838. In 1937, the crown was remade into a lighter version but still holds The Black Prince's Ruby. Everyone called the gemstone a ruby but was it?
Historically, gemstones were classified in terms of color. Everything blue was a sapphire, everything green was an emerald, and everything red was a ruby. As science has discovered, gemstones are minerals, and what sets minerals apart from each other is the combination of their crystal structure and chemical composition. In 1783, a "new" mineral, red spinel, was found to be a compound of magnesium, iron, & chromium setting it apart from ruby, or the mineral corundum, which is an aluminum oxide compound. Further testing on the crown jewels found The Black Prince's Ruby to be a red spinel and not a ruby!
The red spinel adorning the Imperial State Crown is approx. 170cts and one of the largest uncut spinels in the world. At an earlier time, the spinel had a hole drilled so that it could hang as a necklace, but now, it has a small ruby covering the hole. The Russian Imperial Crown also has a red spinel sitting atop the crown that was thought to be a ruby at one point. When Catherine the Great ascended to the throne in 1762, she had the 414.30ct red orb placed on her crown where it remains to this day.
The Black Prince's Ruby has been unmasked to reveal another wonderful gemstone, red spinel. Despite its intriguing history, spinel was a gemstone underappreciated by the public until recently. People are now discovering the rich colors and the strong durability of spinel! Spinel occurs naturally in various colors like pink, red, orange, purple, blue, grey, and black and rates an 8 on the Mohs Hardness scale. According to The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), distinguishing spinel from ruby gave birth to the science of gemology for which I am so grateful for! A few years ago, spinel became another birthstone for August, giving August babies lots of color options. With all its great qualities, I think it is a little unfair to call the crown jewel The Great Imposter, what about The Great Masquerader?

Jose Mourinho wants his Manchester United top target at Tottenham as he plots key signing
The Portuguese has discussed a sporting director role with key ally Luis Campos.

Jose Mourinho is working to bring Luis Campos to Tottenham Hotspur to aid in ending the London club's 11-year wait for major silverware. The Daily Record understands that Tottenham's newly installed manager – who began his reign with Saturday's 3-2 victory at West Ham United – has asked Campos if he would be interested in filling the club's vacant technical director role.
Campos has established a reputation as one of the game's most accomplished recruitment specialists, building the AS Monaco squad that took the 2016-17 French title off Paris Saint-Germain, then restructuring Lille into Ligue 1 runners-up. Signings from which those two clubs generated huge profits include Fabinho, Thomas Lemar, Benjamin Mendy, Nicolas Pepe, Bernardo Silva and Kylian Mbappe, the most expensive teenager in the history of the game.
Campos worked for Mourinho at Real Madrid and remains a trusted confidant and friend, hosting his fellow Portuguese at Lille matches following his dismissal as Manchester United manager last December. Mourinho recommended Campos to United when Ed Woodward drew up plans to appoints the club's first director of football last year, but the executive vice-chairman refused to interview his then manager's candidate for the role.

Although Daniel Levy was one of English football's early champions of the technical director post, Tottenham are currently without one. Franco Baldini formally exited the position in September 2015 after finding Mauricio Pochettino difficult to work with. Paul Mitchell also failed to survive the Argentine's period as manager, resigning as Head of Recruitment and Analysis in February 2018.
Campos has a long standing interest in working at an elite Premier League club and would like to partner Mourinho again. First, however, he would want to assess Levy's thoughts on the proposal and the dimension of any role at Tottenham before making a decision. Campos is both well regarded and well remunerated at Lille, and turned down an offer to replace Monchi at AS Roma last summer in order to continue with French club.
"Luis is 200 per cent invested in the project and I don't see a 1000th of a wish to look elsewhere," said Lille coach Christophe Galtier last week. "We're close and looking forward."
Mourinho has already added two members of Lille's technical team to his Tottenham staff, hiring assistant coach Joao Sacramento and goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos on Tuesday. Sacramento is a protege of Campos, who employed the young Portuguese as a tactical analyst at both Monaco and Lille before deploying the then-28-year-old as an interim replacement to Marcelo Bielsa in 2017.
Sacramento's selection as assistant offers echoes of the hugely successful coaching relationship Mourinho developed with Rui Faria at Uniao Leiria, FC Porto, Chelsea , Internazionale, Real Madrid and United. Like Mourinho and Sacramento, academically trained, Faria was replaced at Old Trafford by two inexperienced coaches in Kieran McKenna and Michael Carrick, plus Italian fitness specialist Stefano Rapetti.

joe klukay and the dying swan
April 9, 2015 November 6, 2018 / puckstruck
Toronto would win the Stanley Cup that year — a strange sentence to write and believe in, today. This was 1947, April. The Canadiens were the defending champions, and they started the Finals strongly enough, prevailing at home by a score of 6-0. The Leafs rallied themselves to win four of the next five games, including the one depicted here, a 2-1 victory secured at Maple Leaf Gardens by a Syl Apps goal in overtime. "The game started off on a hectic note," Jim Vipond accounted next day in The Globe and Mail, "and Referee Bill Chadwick, who handled a competent game, had his work cut out to prevent a riot." In the moments before the camera found its focus, Kenny Reardon, ebullient Montreal defenceman, boarded Toronto's rookie left winger Joe Klukay, "qui s'est frappé (La Patrie reported) violemment sur la clôture." That's him on the stretcher — you can just spy his nose through the arms of an attendant teammate. He was knocked out, Montreal and Toronto reporters mostly agreed, and his scalp wanted stitching.
"The fans screamed for a major penalty," Vipond wrote, "and an electric tenseness seemed to fill the big Carlton Street sports palace. The game was less than five minutes old." Reardon went to serve a minor; Klukay was carried from the ice.
Neither man was gone long. The Montreal Gazette's Dink Carroll took a slightly more jaded view than some others: Klukay responded to Reardon's hit, he wrote, with "the dying swan act and … he was back before the period was over."
Also putting in an appearance above are Montreal's Butch Bouchard (leaning over the patient) along with Toe Blake (observing, glove on stick), Glen Harmon (8), and Buddy O'Connor (10).
Apps' winning goal came after 16 minutes and 36 seconds of overtime. Jim Vipond circulated through the Leafs' dressing room afterwards, where he saw an exhausted Toronto coach, Hap Day, and a happy, Coke-drinking Conn Smythe. "It isn't funny," Day told Vipond, with no further explanation. "I'm proud of the whole team," Smythe said.
Klukay was in the shower. Vipond hollered in to ask about his injury and Klukay hollered back out. "Nothing to it," he said, "just my head."
The Montreal room was more subdued. With the extra period, they should have missed their train home, but the 11.10 to Montreal was holding for them. The Canadiens dressed quickly and headed for Union Station.

The mining industry faces logistics challenges such as moving copper, silver, iron or other mined products from remote mining sites.
They also face the challenge of requiring transport for heavy mining equipment to and from remote sites which adds expense and complications that some other industries don't have to deal with.
Transportation within the mining industry commonly involves managing shipping by rail, which can be costly and difficult without a relationship with rail companies.
It's also necessary to properly track rail cars with the product to ensure they aren't sitting for long periods of time and to find the best cargo insurance to minimize the expensive risk of theft.

Kings buy out final two years of Dion Phaneuf's contract
Kings defenseman Dion Phaneuf warms up before a game against the Chicago Blackhawks in February 2018.
(Jonathan Daniel / Getty Images)
By Curtis ZupkeStaff Writer
The Kings bought out the contract of defenseman Dion Phaneuf in an expected move announced Saturday.
The team is intent on moving out older players with high salaries as it rebuilds, and Phaneuf, 34, was a prime candidate for a buyout. He was set to make $5.25 million annually for the next two seasons.
The Kings will buy out Phaneuf through 2022-23, starting with a $2.1-million salary cap hit next season and $4 million in 2020-21, according to capfriendly.com.
Phaneuf gave the Kings an initial boost when he was acquired from the Ottawa Senators with Nate Thompson on Feb.13, 2018. The Kings got rid of injury-riddled Marian Gaborik in the trade and finished that regular season 15-7-3 with Phaneuf, a big-bodied, third-pairing veteran who was once a Norris Trophy finalist.
But it became clear this past season that Phaneuf didn't fit into the team's plans. He was benched for the first time in his 14-year career in February and bristled when asked about being a mentor.

"I'm not that old," Phaneuf said. "I will say that, and I've got lots left."
Phaneuf declined to speak to reporters at season-ending exit meetings. It is the second buyout by the Kings in three years, after Matt Greene in 2017. Greene's salary is off the books, but the Kings are still paying a penalty for the terminated contract of Mike Richards and will pay $3.7 million in buyouts or penalties to Phaneuf and Richards this season, according to capfriendly.com.
Saturday was the first day that NHL teams could buy out players' contracts.

Returning to work after a career break can seem like an overwhelming and daunting experience to a lot of people. Your confidence might not be what it once was, some aspects of your previous role might have changed or your skills could use an update – but that doesn't mean that your experience and knowledge isn't highly valued by employers.
Many people take a break from their roles for a multitude of different reasons, but regardless if you've taken a few months out or an entire decade returning to work doesn't need to be difficult.
Just because you took a career break doesn't mean that your skills have lost their value. Previous experience counts for an awful lot and employers are more willing than ever to engage with jobseekers who've been out of the workforce for a while as they see the value that returnees can have to their business.
Sure, your skills might need an update or you might benefit for a little refresher training, but don't feel the need to downgrade to a lower level position just because you've taken a break.
If you've taken an extended period of time out then the thought of going back into an office environment full-time can fill you with dread. If you don't feel ready to commit to such a dramatic change or want to work on gaining confidence at a steadier pace, then there's other alternative routes available.
Temporary, part-time or contract work can help ease the transition when you're considering returning to work after a career break and takes of some of the pressure many people feel when re-joining the workforce.
For some roles, you might find that technology, processes or responsibilities might have changed whilst you've been away. The best advice here is to embrace these evolutions and invest in some top-up training as a way of gaining access back into work.
Not only will this boost your confidence, but you'll also show employers that your committed to continuing with your career after a break.
If you're thinking of returning to work after a career break, speak to one of our friendly and experienced Recruitment Consultants about the wide range of vacancies, help and support available.

Ё
Количество гласных букв в строке ау Е Ы Ё равно 3
Слово с максимальной длиной в строке ау Е Ы Ё это ау
Слово с минимальной длиной в строке ау Е Ы Ё это Ы

Как видно из вывода количество гласных був считается неправильно. В чем причина?
A: С логическим или все нормально.
Проблема в другом - отдельные буквы считываются, а ау - не считывается как "а" и "у"
A: прошу прощения дело в том, что некоторые символы с которыми происходит сравнение s.charAt(i) в цикле были напечатаны не в той раскладке (английской), т. е. были не кириллицей.

Superior Accomplishment Awards Program Nomination Period through October 31
Jodi Gentry, Vice President for Human Resources
I am pleased to announce a call for nominations for the University of Florida's Superior Accomplishment Awards program. The purpose of the program, now in its 29th year, is to recognize Academic Personnel; Technical Executive Administrative Managerial and Support (TEAMS) employees; and University Support Personnel System (USPS) employees who have contributed outstanding service in their fields during the academic year of August 1, 2016, to July 31, 2017.
Please don't miss this chance to recognize those among us who make the extra effort to contribute. This year's nomination period runs from September 11, 2017, through October 31, 2017.
Division-level winners of the Superior Accomplishment Awards, as well as the Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace winner and the Community Service winner from each division, receive $200 along with a certificate of appreciation and university memento. Each division winner then is eligible to be selected for one of six university-level awards of $2,000 each or one of eight $1,000 awards sponsored by The Gabor Agency (four awards) and The Standard (four awards). Division-level winners of the Diversity & Inclusion and Community Service awards will be eligible for one university-level award of $2,000 in each category.
Each of the eight university-level winners and his or her guest also will be invited to attend a University of Florida football game in the President's Box next season.
For additional information about the Superior Accomplishment Awards program, divisional committee chairs, nomination criteria, and nomination forms, please visit the awards' website at http://hr.ufl.edu/learn-grow/awards-recognition/superior-accomplishment-awards/.

UF's Superior Accomplishment Awards program was developed to recognize deserving university employees and is coordinated by the Office of Human Resources. The success of this program depends on all of our participation as we seek to express appreciation for exceptional employees and their superior accomplishments. Thank you for your support of this program.
