GM Launches Carvana Competitor to Profit Off Used Cars Too
There's money to be made in used cars, and GM's CarBravo is aiming for a slice of the action.

Recent decades have seen the rise of outlets like Carmax and Carvana where major national players control huge inventories of used vehicles. GM has recently decided it wants a piece of the action, announcing it will run an online used vehicle marketplace by the name of CarBravo, reports Reuters.
CarBravo will have the benefit of a broad inventory of used vehicles, made up of those owned by Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC dealers across the United States. GM Financial will also be on board, with cars and trucks returning from leases or rental car companies also to be sold on the site.
General Motors reports that its dealer network has around 400,000 vehicles in stock, suggesting CarBravo could have a solid range to choose from at launch. The launch of CarBravo is just around the corner, with GM expecting to launch the marketplace in spring.
GM believes that this inventory is its secret weapon that will allow it to outsell the competition. "We think we stack up pretty well against anyone else out there," said Steve Carlisle, head of GM's North American operations.
Hints of the project became public knowledge last year, with GM registering a trademark for the phrase "Feel the Usedphoria." The word "usedphoria" seems more applicable to scoring a wildly-cheap M3 barnfind off Cragislist from someone who didn't know what they had. It feels too intense to describe getting a good deal on a clean, low-mileage 2013 Nissan Versa, but GM's marketing department will likely find a way to make it work.
In the US, around 40 million used vehicles are sold each year, over double the usual sales of new vehicles which have sat around 14-17 million units in recent years. Historically, automakers have focused on the new car market to the exclusion of selling used vehicles to the public. Heading into the used car market gives GM the opportunity to capture the profits to be made on used cars and reach a new customer base that may not buy new.
The used car marketplace can be lucrative for big players; established stalwart Carvana has a market cap of $32 billion, for example. Companies selling cars online also found a way to reach consumers without the usual hassles of visiting a dealer, while also offering services like home delivery which have only become more relevant in the pandemic era.
GM has thus seen an opportunity to leverage its broad dealer network inventory in order to break into a new market. It's difficult to see how selling those vehicles online could go wrong; one suspects customers will appreciate being able to shop from the comfort of their own home. Whether GM's CarBravo platform finds purchase, however, remains to be seen; executives will be hoping that potential customers will soon "feel the usedphoria."

A new voice in the auto emissions standards debate
Ben Geman, author of Generate
Photo: Andreas Gebert / Getty Images
A new coalition of auto suppliers, emissions control industry groups and an aluminum association is launching today that will fight against potential Trump administration moves to significantly weaken vehicle mileage and emissions standards.
Why it matters now: The rollout of the Automotive Technology Leadership Group arrives as the administration is revisiting mandates for model years 2022–2025 — regulations that represent a pillar of Obama-era climate policy.
The group's members are: the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association; the Manufacturers of Emission Controls Association; the Aluminum Association; the Advanced Engine Systems Institute; and the Emission Control Technology Association.
Quick take: The group that represents equipment manufacturers could be an important voice in the debate, especially because leaders in the White House, EPA and the Transportation Department aren't sympathetic to environmentalists.
Their pitch to Trump: The group argues that upending current policy would risk jobs by eroding the certainty that bolsters manufacturing investment and tech innovation.
"If the U.S. leads the way on the standards, then companies manufacturing here will also lead the way on development and innovation," says Ann Wilson, a top lobbyist with the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association.
A source close to the coalition tells Axios the group will be "primarily a messaging organization," as opposed to lobbying. Their "statement of principles" is here.
Who they are: A bipartisan pair of Beltway vets is coordinating the group. One is Patrick Quinn of the Accord Group, who was a top EPA adviser under former President George H.W. Bush. The other is Chris Miller of the firm AJW, a longtime aide to former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

This spring, Apple plans to release its first two original series, Planet of the Apps and full-length episodes of the popular Carpool Karaoke segment hosted by James Corden. It's not exactly a bold move: Netflix, Amazon, and reportedly even Facebook are making original TV. But unlike Netflix, Amazon, and Facebook, Apple isn't a content company. It's a hardware one. But that's about to change—at least if Apple has anything to say about it.
Services have been a consistent bright spot in Apple's quarterly earnings reports, and Apple Music is lumped in with that category. The $10/month streaming music service has racked up 20 million paying subscribers in the year and a half since it launched. But Apple can't rely on music exclusives, which have limited windows, to differentiate itself. So the company is turning to original video content.
The winner of the competition will be featured in the App Store and get funding from Silicon Valley venture capital firm Lightspeed Ventures.
But…the cheesy name. The concept. The action, which consists of "escalator pitches" and app developers who promise to "revolutionize social media." It's…not thrilling. But perhaps the Shark Tank-meets-The Voice-meets-Silicon Valley concept will be a hit with viewers, who will be able to play with the apps as soon as the show airs. Episodes of the show will be released each week, not in a single Netflix-style batch.
Eddy Cue, Apple's senior VP of software and services, dispelled the rumors that Apple wants to compete with cable companies by offering its own skinny bundle of channels.
But that's not the case. At least not yet.

Welcome to Jean-Louis Berthod's website !
" I have difficulties in dreaming in front of concrete and cars, then, I sculpt and I paint. Every human being has a mode of expression of his own. The artist, him, opens bigger the door and he exposes himself a little more than the others "
Agricultural mechanic then automobile mechanic for more than forty years, Jean-Louis Berthod always had a passion for the wood carving, a passion he practiced in parallel as amateur sculptor. At the beginning of the eighties, he begins with small realizations, being sometimes inspired by famous works like one of the nymphs of "the Fontaine des Innocents" in Paris, realized by Jean Goujon or still "The Flora", the famous fresco found around Pompeii.
At the end of this decade and during numerous years, Jean-Louis Berthod takes the step and starts sculptured woodworks of bigger size. These are bas-reliefs sculptured in themes, among these we shall note "The sleeper in the Valley" inspired by Arthur Rimbaud's poem, "Prévert's Song" influenced by Serge Gainsbourg's song or still "The Empty Chair" in tribute to the sculptor of Rumilly (Haute-Savoie), Robert Ramel.
In the second part of the nineties, Jean-Louis Berthod tries his gift in religious art by contributing to the restoration of the Church of Albens (Savoy/France), repairing sculptured friezes but especially by realizing two impressive furnitures: the altar of the Church on the theme of "Calming the storm" as well as the ambon on the theme of "the Christ Sower". We can also note the realization of a second altar sculpted for a chapel, a copy of a mosaic that we find in Jerusalem.
A that time, Jean-Louis Berthod goes to the higher level in the realization of his bas-reliefs, sculpting them in even bigger dimensions. Childhood memories, boards dedicated to the rural life such as it was formerly and its evolution nowadays, "The Renaissance", such are the main themes of these bas-reliefs. We shall also note a tribute to the victims of the World War I through his board "Meaulnes The Great", inspired by the novel of Alain-Fournier.
Meanwhile, Jean-Louis Berthod realized some sculptures on themes such as "The air", "The sound", "The water", "The movement", etc. …
Finally, Jean-Louis Berthod, over the years, also showed certain talent for the drawing by making numerous pastels inspired by memories ; we shall note his series of pastels dedicated to the rural life of former times.
And many other works of the artist to discover by browsing the website! Enjoy your visit!

Q: Gold forensics - can gold's source mine be determined? A lot of gold was moved from it source in the west to Europe and other world powers in the 16th and following centuries and I was curious if such gold artifacts could be tied to their source or not.
In the 2010 New Scientist article, Nuclear bomb debris holds clues to who planted it this statement is made, but the link to the reference no longer works:

In 2009, researchers from the Institute for Transuranium Elements in Karlsruhe, Germany, showed that when smuggled nuclear material is intercepted, its source can be deduced from details of its composition.

Can the processes used in nuclear forensics be used on gold from this era?

A: As @pieter pointed out, Gold has only one stable isotope.  There are radioactive isotopes but these are very short lived.  The longest half life for one of these is 186.09 days for Au-195.
Au-195 decays by Beta decay, meaning it will transform into the most common stable isotope of Platinum.
What does that mean in terms of how many many of these Au-195 atoms we can expect to find in a lump of Gold ?
Well one mole of Gold has about $6\times 10^{23}$ atoms (that's a mass of about 197 grammes).
Let's say we start out with 50% Au-195.  Every 186 days the amount halves.  Probably the gold has been in the ground at least a thousand years.  How much Au-195 have we left ?  About 1963 half lives have passed in 1000 years and that means we have about $2^{-1963}$ of our Au-195 left.  That's a really small number and is about $1.5\times 10^{-591}$ which means we'll have about $4.4\times 10^{-568}$ Au-195 atoms left (or to be a little less impractical - none).
We'll have lots of Platinum.  But what will happen the gold when it's taken from the ground ?  Melted down and the platinum thrown away as being worthless, I dare say. :-)  Well, we won't be seeing any platinum either.
But we're not even going to see those Gold and Platinum mixtures (of that type).  What would have happened is that the Gold was created well before the Earth formed - that's 4.5 billion years.  And all the Au-195 was created then as well.  No more would be created after that.  And 4.5 billion years is a an awful lot of Au-195 half lives, so no Au-195 would survive long enough even to exist in the early Earth.  It would have decayed long before our planet even formed.
So basically no other isotopes of Gold ever made it "into the mix" to form Gold deposits on Earth, just good old stable (!) Au-197.

A: Smuggled nuclear materials are much easier. They are radioactive by themselves. A high-resolution gamma spectrum gives a lot of information about the ratios of different isotopes of for example uranium and plutonium. The amount of decay products gives dating information.
This cannot be done with gold. One can make gold radioactive by neutron activation, but that does not give information about the mine of origin. Gold has only one stable isotope.
One can try neutron-activation analysis of other elements in the gold alloy, but this is not normally conclusive.
There are non-nuclear techniques to determine chemical composition. One can also measure isotope composition with mass spectrometry (but this only works for other elements in the alloy).
Gold is so often reprocessed that I would not expect consistent results. Best one can do is probably to expose forgeries.

A: Impurity analysis would be the only way to do this.
Note that impurities in the lead used by the Romans to make their plumbing allows researchers to trace it back to the specific mine in Spain where the ore was originally extracted in the following way: Since the ore smelting process produced a significant plume of particulate smoke from the ore and since the prevailing winds blew that smoke up towards Greenland, researchers can dig down through the annual ice layers on the Greenland ice cap and extract from it thin layers of microspherules of burnt ore and assign a firm date to each deposit based on its position in the ice column. microanalysis of the spherules reveals their composition and therefore the location of the specific mine from which the ore originated can be identified, as well as the specific years during which that mine was active.

Red Hat Adds VMware Exec to Promote Global Strategic Alliances
By Sean Michael Kerner | July 08, 2013
From the "If You Can't Beat Them... files:
There is a bit of a revolving door in the tech industry, where people move from one industry competitor to another (unless of course they have non-compete agreements and even then..).
Linux vendor Red Hat today announced the appointment of former VMware exec Scott Musson as Red Hat's new VP of Global Strategic Alliances. That's a big job and a critical one for the present and future growth of Red Hat.
While Red Hat does have direct sales, the partnership channel has long been a key driver of growth and pull-through momentum. Musson will help direct Red Hat's foundational parterships with IBM, HP, Dell and Cisco.
Red Hat Names New Linux Server Virtualization Chief
At VMware, Musson was the Senior Director of Global Strategic Alliances. And yeah, VMware is also partnered with IBM, HP, Dell and Cisco, so I suspect Musson will have an easy transition.
"I'm honored to join a passionate team that has built strong relationships with and continues to show commitment to their partners," Scott Musson, vice president of Global Strategic Alliances, Red Hat said in a statement. "Red Hat's leadership in key technology areas, including cloud, big data and application infrastructure and modernization, offers some exciting opportunities to make an impact."
Musson isn't the first exec that Red Hat has pulled from rival. In April of this year, Red Hat named former Microsoft exec Radhesh Balakrishnan as the new global leader for Red Hat's virtualization infrastructure solutions.

NCS softball: Retiring James Logan coach hopes…
SportsHigh School Sports
NCS softball: Retiring James Logan coach hopes to go out on top
By News Group, Area News and Darren Sabedra |
UNION CITY — The end is nearing for James Logan's longtime softball coach Teri Johnson.
A run that began during the Ronald Reagan administration will reach the finish line in the North Coast Section playoffs that begin this week.
Naturally, Johnson and her players are looking for storybook ending.
"A storybook finish, of course, would be us taking NCS and getting a ring," Johnson said. "That would be a storybook finish. But, you know, NCS is tough to get through with Amador and Foothill and Heritage and Freedom."
No matter what unfolds, Logan won't end the season empty-handed. A group that includes eight seniors claimed the program's 22nd Mission Valley Athletic League championship under Johnson last week in the coach's final league game, a 7-1 victory on the road over Newark Memorial.
Camille Rodriguez threw her fourth no-hitter of the season, and Tyavana Salazar put an exclamation point on the outcome with a home run over the center-field fence in the final inning.
"It's so special that we're her last team," Rodriguez said. "We definitely want to leave her on a good note."
Johnson was among the pregame honorees before last week's contest — Newark Memorial's Senior Day — and then sent her players onto the sunny but windy field, where they excelled just as so many of the coach's teams have through the decades.
They hit, pitched and defended better than their opponent.
"Real special," an emotional Johnson said after the win. "To come out and put everything you have on the field tonight and throw a no-hitter, home run, execute. I couldn't have asked for a better game out of these girls for a championship.
"And going out on top at the last (league) game. That's awesome, too."
Rodriguez called Johnson a second mom, noting that the coach's door is always open.
"She really cares for you like no other coach does," the senior said. "During school, we could go to her whenever we want. There is no drama because we always settle it. She is like our mom."
Johnson started coaching at Logan in 1984 at the JV level and took over the varsity team two years later. She has coached the varsity every year since then but one, when she left for a year to coach at Cal.
She has a 669-161 record and, naturally, countless memories.
Johnson said her 1990 team was special because it won the first of Logan's five NCS championships.
"That team is going to be inducted into the Logan Hall of Fame in October," Johnson said.
The coach also mentioned the Raeann Garza era. The pitcher led Logan to section titles in 2010, 2012 and 2013.
"With her on the mound, she was 88-11," Johnson said. "She was all of 5-foot-3 and 100 pounds soaking wet. We had a great group of girls her freshman year."
The final stage of this season starts Wednesday as Logan, seeded seventh in the NCS Division I bracket, plays host to No. 10 seed Alhambra. The winner advances to face at No. 2 seed Heritage this weekend.
One year after reaching the NCS Division I final — a run that included an upset of top-seeded Amador Valley in the quarterfinals — Logan is peaking at the right time. The Colts have won four in a row and eight of their past nine.
Of course, any team aiming to make a deep run needs pitching, and Logan has that.
Rodriguez said the win over Newark Memorial wasn't her best game, but her catcher, Cassandra Wenn, begged to differ.
"Cam's a perfectionist," Wenn said. "She is really hard on herself. She threw a great game even though she says it's not her best. She's very modest. All her pitches were working."
If there was pressure because of Johnson's retirement and a league championship on the line, the Colts did not show it.
Wenn chalks that up to experience.
"Going back to last year, we had a lot of pressure on us, facing Amador second round, first seed with us being the eighth seed, them being the defending champions," Wenn said. "We've gotten used to pressure. That's part of Logan culture."
Johnson still has two years to teach, so she plans to be around to assist the program's next coach, Amanda Camuso.
"She played at Saint Mary's College," Johnson said. "Her one sister played at Oregon, first base, and her other sister played at UCLA. Softball is definitely in her blood, and she also teaches at Logan and knows our kids. The kids really like her. That's important to me."
It's also important for this season to end with a win.
"We don't get kicked out if we keep winning," Wenn said. "That's our mentality. We're definitely going for that ring this time."

It's always interesting to note when a market suddenly wakes up to an impending shift that those close to that market—like journalists—may have seen coming for some time. That appears to be the case in the last few weeks with IMO 2020. It's a complicated rule, but in short it will require ocean-going vessels to burn fuel with a much lower sulfur content than they have been burning for years. There are times when you could find bunker fuel—the name of the fuel that powers ships—with sulfur content of 5%. The more recent limit is 3.5%. (And the dirty little secret about bunker fuel is you never knew what else might be in it.) But under the new rule that goes into effect in 2020, the limit is 0.5%, and it's very hard to produce bunker fuel that meets that specification. So that means it will be mostly replaced by some form of distillate: marine gasoil, marine diesel, etc. Maersk, as noted below, called it a "perfect storm" for the shipping industry. Trucking companies will acknowledge it, and you're starting to hear more talk about it. Still, it hard to find any trucking analysts who say it will impact the trucking business when it goes into effect. But there will be a new competitor for the diesel pool and fuel surcharges may not just pass these costs through so smoothly. Alternatives to using diesel—like LNG or installing scrubbers to remove sulfur from bunker fuel—are workable only with major retrofitting. IMO 2020 remains the transportation industry's great unknown, and it gets closer every day.
Ocean shipping routes from China/Asia to the U.S. have been on a steady increase this year. Rates to the U.S. West Coast, available on SONAR under ticker FBX.CNAW, are up 30% year-on-year to $2,097 per ffe. The voyage to the U.S. East Coast, under ticker FBX.CNAE, shows a 32% gain year-on-year to $3,319 per ffe.

This was Underride Week sponsored by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Administration, where underride equipment was to be reviewed by enforcement officials, not so much for the purpose of writing tickets but also for gathering data on underride equipment that can be utilized in the discussion surrounding legislation that would expand the underride mandate. The underride week—which was actually to be just one day—comes after a decision a week ago that upheld a lower court decision effectively exonerating Great Dane, a trailer manufacturer, for not having a side underride defense, which is an added mandate that some activists are seeking and is in the Gillibrand-Rubio legislation that still hasn't made it out of committee. The Great Dane story is a sad one, with a 19-year-old mother left severely damaged neurologically as a result of "intrusion" under the side of a truck. But for now, a side underride is not required and the Great Dane decision doesn't move regulation toward it.

Nicola Rossi-Lemeni (November 6, 1920 – March 12, 1991), was a basso opera singer of mixed Italian-Russian parentage.

Rossi-Lemeni was born in Istanbul, Ottoman Empire, the son of an Italian colonel and a Russian mother. In his prime he was one of the most respected bassos in Italy. The composer Ildebrando Pizzetti wrote the opera Assassinio nella cattedrale (1958) specifically for Rossi-Lemeni. He was also a prize-winning poet and a painter.

Career

The basso made his debut as Varlaam in Boris Godunov at La Fenice, Venice, in 1946. He sang at the Teatro alla Scala from 1947 to 1960, the Teatro Colón (1949) and Covent Garden (1952). He appeared at the Metropolitan Opera, opening the 1953/54 season, in Faust (with Jussi Björling, Victoria de los Ángeles and Robert Merrill, conducted by Pierre Monteux and directed by Peter Brook in his Met debut), followed by the title roles of Don Giovanni and Boris Godunov.

He sang Don Giovanni to open the newly established Lyric Theatre of Chicago in February 1954 (renamed two years later as Lyric Opera of Chicago), and returned that fall for Norma with Callas in her American debut, and Basilio in The Barber of Seville.  The following season he appeared in Puritani with Callas, Boheme with Tebaldi, Faust with Bjoerling, Elisir with Carteri, and L'amore dei tre re with Kirsten.

He created the roles of Thomas Beckett in Assassinio nella cattedrale (Murder in the Cathedral) by Ildebrando Pizzetti (based on the T.S. Eliot play), and Eddie Carbone in Uno sguardo dal ponte (A View from the Bridge) by Renzo Rossellini (based on the Arthur Miller play).

Rossi-Lemeni was married to Romanian soprano Virginia Zeani. Among his recordings are Don Carlos (with Mirto Picchi, 1951), The Barber of Seville (with de los Ángeles, 1952), and—opposite Maria Callas—I puritani (1953), Norma (1954), Il turco in Italia (1954) and La forza del destino (1954). He was then featured in two recordings of La serva padrona, the first (1955) conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini, the second (1959) alongside Zeani.

In 1952, he recorded excerpts from Boris Godunov with Leopold Stokowski and the San Francisco Symphony for RCA Victor, which have been reissued on CD.

Rossi-Lemeni was a pontifical knight in the Order of St. Sylvester. He died in Bloomington, Indiana.

With Leave Me Alone coming out early next year, Hinds have released their newest single from the album, "San Diego." The catchy new track perfectly blends well with Hinds' other two released songs off of the album, "Garden" and "Chili Town," leaving a lot to look forward to when Leave Me Alone is released. Hinds wrote on their SoundCloud that "San Diego" is all about staying awake, and the idea came from a moment when a friend mentioned to not wanting to fall asleep because of the dream that would inevitably follow. "We all have bad days. We mean bad nights," they started off saying, "One day a friend told us, 'I don't wanna fall asleep because I know what's the dream about.' This song is about staying awake. Just staying awake."
Don't forget to pre-order your own copy of Leave Me Alone as a bundle here! Or you can pre-order the album alone on iTunes, Amazon, or Mom + Pop's store.

If you or your child has hemophilia, you can take steps to prevent bleeding problems. Thanks to improvements in treatment, a child who has hemophilia today is likely to live a normal lifespan.
The Federal Government funds a nationwide network of hemophilia treatment centers (HTCs). These centers are an important resource for people who have hemophilia and their families.
The medical experts at HTCs provide treatment, education, and support. They can teach you or your family members how to do home treatments. Center staff also can provide your doctor with information.
People who get care at HTCs are less likely than those who get care elsewhere to have bleeding complications and hospitalizations. They're also more likely to have a better quality of life. This may be due to the centers' emphasis on bleeding prevention and the education and support provided to patients and their caregivers.
To find an HTC located near you, go to the directory of HTCs on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Web site. Many people who have hemophilia go to HTCs for annual checkups, even if it means traveling some distance to do so.
At an HTC, you or your child may be able to take part in clinical research and benefit from the latest hemophilia research findings. The HTC team also will work with your local health care providers to help meet your needs or your child's needs.
Follow your treatment plan exactly as your doctor prescribes.
Have regular checkups and vaccinations as recommended.
Tell all of your health care providers—such as your doctor, dentist, and pharmacist—that you have hemophilia. You also may want to tell people like your employee health nurse, gym trainer, and sports coach about your condition.
Have regular dental care. Dentists at the HTCs are experts in providing dental care for people who have hemophilia. If you see another dentist, tell him or her that you have hemophilia. The dentist can provide medicine that will reduce bleeding during dental work.
Heavy bleeding that can't be stopped or a wound that continues to ooze blood.
Any signs or symptoms of bleeding in the brain. Such bleeding is life threatening and requires emergency care.
Limited motion, pain, or swelling of any joint.
It's a good idea to keep a record of all previous treatments. Be sure to take this information with you to medical appointments and to the hospital or emergency room.
You may have emotional, financial, social, or other strains as you adjust to having a child who has hemophilia. Learn all you can about the disorder and get the support you need.
Talk with doctors and other health care providers about treatment, prevention of bleeding, and what to do during an emergency.
The care teams at HTCs can provide your child with treatment and help educate and support you. The social worker on the team can help with emotional issues, financial and transportation problems, and other concerns.
Seek the many resources available through the Web, books, and other materials, including those provided by national and local hemophilia organizations.
Look into support groups that offer a variety of activities for children who have hemophilia and for family members. Some groups offer summer camps for children who have hemophilia. Ask your doctor, nurse coordinator, or social worker about these groups and camps.
Challenges will occur as your child grows and becomes more active. In addition to treatment and regular health and dental care, your child needs information about hemophilia that he or she can understand.
Children who have hemophilia also need ongoing support, and they need to be reassured that the condition isn't their fault.
Be sure to use the safety belts and straps in highchairs, car seats, and strollers to protect your child from falls.
Remove furniture with sharp corners or pad them while your child is a toddler.
Keep out of reach or locked away small and sharp objects and other items that could cause bleeding or harm.
You also should learn how to examine your child for and recognize signs of bleeding. Learn to prepare for bleeding episodes when they occur. Keep a cold pack in the freezer ready to use as directed or to take along with you to treat bumps and bruises.
Popsicles work fine when there is minor bleeding in the mouth. You also might want to keep a bag ready to go with items you'll need if you must take your child to the emergency room or elsewhere.
Be sure that anyone who is responsible for your child knows that he or she has hemophilia. Talk with your child's babysitters, daycare providers, teachers, other school staff, and coaches or leaders of afterschool activities about when to contact you or to call 9–1–1 for emergency care.
Your child should wear a medical ID bracelet or necklace. If your child is injured, the ID will alert anyone caring for your child about his or her hemophilia.
Physical activity helps keep muscles flexible, strengthens joints, and helps maintain a healthy weight. Children and adults who have hemophilia should be physically active, but they may have limits on what they can do safely.
People who have mild hemophilia can take part in many activities. Those who have severe hemophilia should avoid contact sports and other activities that are likely to lead to injuries that could cause bleeding. Examples of these activities include football, hockey, and wrestling.
Physical therapists at HTCs can develop exercise programs tailored to your needs and teach you how to exercise safely.
Talk with your doctor or physical therapist about recommended types of physical activity and sports. In general, some safe physical activities are swimming, biking (wearing a helmet), walking, and golf.
To prevent bleeding, you also may be able to take clotting factors prior to exercise or a sporting event.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about which medicines are safe for you to take.
Home treatment with replacement therapy has many benefits. It lets you treat bleeding early, before complications are likely to develop. Home treatment also can prevent frequent trips to the doctor's office or hospital. This can give you more independence and control over your hemophilia.
Follow instructions for storage, preparation, and use of clotting factors and treatment materials.
Keep a record of all medical treatment.
Know the signs and symptoms of bleeding, infection, or an allergic reaction, and know the correct way to respond.
Have someone with you when you treat yourself.
Know when to call the doctor or 9–1–1.
When you're traveling, be sure to take enough treatment supplies along. You also should carry a letter from your doctor describing your hemophilia and treatment. It's a good idea to find out in advance where to go for care when out of town.
As children grow, it's important to learn about available options for insurance. Look into what kinds of health insurance are offered when seeking a job.


Honey is out of town. He went with a professor to Illinois for a staff development gig with a ministry we both used to be a part of. He took off work yesterday at noon and we went on a date! Date nights are pretty much a no-go at this stage, so we improvised.
We had a late lunch at PF Changs and this was inside my fortune cookie. Niiice.
We went to see the "new" Bond movie before heading home.
In our mailbox was a random letter from someone we know in another state with a check included. An unexpected event brought us riches. Huh!
If this were a movie, the soundtrack would break in with Michael W. Smith singing, "oh the haeeaeeand of Prahvidence. . ." slow fade.
You are CRACKIN' me up!!! And Praise the Lord for the check.

Iran and Saudi Arabia have finally become friends in Yemen
by Vishwas Makkar
The Middle East seems to be a place where disputes never stop. Most nations are embroiled in a conflict with their neighbours and the influence of foreign powers in the region under the mask of establishing "peace" has only made the situation more troublesome.
However, the unthinkable appears to be working out in another worn-torn middle eastern country Yemen. Old rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia seem to work out their differences through their proxies in Yemen.
Ruto emboldens an independent identity in US-China's geopolitical chess game
You see, two strong neighbours, Saudi Arabia and Iran, are engaged in a ferocious war for regional hegemony. Their long-running animosity is made worse by their divergent religious views. They each adhere to one of the two major schools of Islam; Saudi Arabia considers itself to be the most powerful Sunni Muslim nation, whereas Iran is primarily Shia Muslim. This theological cleavage is echoed in the larger Middle Eastern geography, where there are Shia or Sunni majorities, some of which look to Iran or Saudi Arabia for assistance or leadership. Perhaps, the Middle East's future may be altered forever by any indication that relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran are beginning to normalise.
Yemen's Bloody History
Yemen, like its many neighbours, has been the land of constant conflict and war. The conflict in Yemen has been in the running for seven years now. The country, after years of infighting, has been divided into well-armed rival groups with support from international powers like Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Iran.
The Houthis, a group that adheres to the Zaydi Shiite branch of Islam and seek to install a hyper-conservative Islamic theocracy in Yemen, are the major rebel force in the country currently ruling the country's constitutional capital Sanaa.
The Houthis are the beneficiaries of constant support from Iranian officials. The fall of 2014 saw the rebels seizing control of Sanaa and ousting the President —Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
This alarmed the Arab kingdom. Riyadh declared that the kingdom won't allow the establishment of terrorist militias such as "Hezbollah" on its southern border. The constant threat of an Iranian proxy just next to its border troubled the Saudi Government. The ousting of Hadi triggered Riyadh to assemble a military coalition that would defeat the Houthis and restore the legitimate government. Soon Riyadh carried out an aerial assault against the Houthis in Yemen aided by the US in support of Hadi's government.

Efforts To Establish Peace
Well, almost a decade of violent conflicts has tired out all the parties which are now looking towards a path beneficial for all sides. Saudi Arabia would definitely like to halt the unnecessary drain of resources to counter Houthi aggression. Iran, on the other side, has been isolated due to its nuclear program and is looking to form alliances to counter the aggression of the Western world.
In the midst of the conflict, the Saudis are reportedly pressuring Yemen's government to mediate a settlement with Iran's proxies. According to the Houthis, peace could only come about if Saudi Arabia stopped its airstrikes and foreign influence was removed from domestic affairs. Saudi Arabia has therefore toned down its aggression and is putting pressure on the Yemini regime to soften.
The Houthis are being urged by the Iranians to give the government some influence over matters involving aviation and oil tankers. The Houthis are also thinking about reopening the roads leading to Taiz, a former industrial city. It is impressive to see compromises between longtime foes, especially in the days leading up to US President Joe Biden's upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia.

You see, the Yemeni population is devastated as a result of the violent war. Yemeni cities are under constant threat of siege. With approximately 13 million children among the 23.7 million people in need of aid, Yemen continues to be one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the world. For the country's populace, it has been a living hell since the conflict erupted in March 2015. Less than half of health institutions are operating, and many of those that are still in use lack the most basic tools. Many health professionals have gone years without receiving a regular paycheck,
The citizens, who ought to be safeguarded, appear to suffer the most during a war. Perhaps a peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran would not only usher in a period of much-needed exuberance for the Yemenis but might also herald a new era of peace in the Middle East.

Home » Israel » Media Objectivity
https://www.aish.com/jw/mo/48917482.html
Why is the Media Biased?
Dec 2, 2000 | by Rabbi Shraga Simmons
The reasons abound, but the result is the same: Israel is getting a bad rap in the world media.
Media coverage of the Mideast violence has created a groundswell of protest in the Jewish community. Israel is largely portrayed as the aggressor, and events are frequently taken out of context, without presenting the very real threat to security that Israel faces.
CNN and BBC have been singled out for especially blatant bias toward the Palestinian side. Numerous articles have been written detailing these specific violations of objectively.
What is the source of this media bias? I believe there are three answers:
Reason #1 – Palestinian intimidation of journalists.
We expect journalists to maintain independence and objectivity -- and certainly not pledge "cooperation" with one side of an armed struggle. But in the current violence, journalists often weigh favorably toward the Palestinians because they are intimidated into doing so. This has been well-documented.
On October 18, a representative of Italian state television issued an apology in Arabic over the filming of the brutal lynching of two Israelis in Ramallah, and promised to cooperate more fully with the Palestinian Authority in the future.
By apologizing, the Italian journalist revealed that the Palestinian Authority indeed places guidelines on reporters, restricting their ability to objectively report the news. In the case of the Italian film crew, they had reportedly been receiving death threats.
British photographer Mark Seager told how he was "scared for my life" as he was punched in the face by a Palestinian and had his camera smashed to the floor -- when he tried to photograph scenes of the Ramallah lynching.
Aguirre Bertrand of France's TF1 says that Palestinian police took a tape of the Ramallah incident from his crew at gunpoint.
How can a journalist report honestly if his life is being threatened?
There are many more examples. BBC World Service reporter Paul Adams was recently assaulted by a Palestinian mob as he was covering an explosion in the Bethlehem headquarters of a Palestinian militia. The BBC chose not to cover the attack on its reporter, for fear of reprisals.
By contrast, Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East. No other country in the region allows photojournalists to film riots, wars or police actions within their borders. So by that fact alone, coverage gets skewed.
Reason #2 -- It's more exciting to root for the underdog.
In almost every competition -- military, political, business, or athletic -- there's not much excitement if the stronger side wins as expected. So Western society has made a habit of rooting for the underdog. Not only does it make the event more exciting, but it gives us hope that our own less-than-perfect lives can take a dramatic turnaround.
We all know the Biblical story of David, armed with only a slingshot, who slew the giant Goliath. That image was applied to the Israelis who repelled attempted annihilation by invading Arab armies in 1948 and 1967.
But now, with Israel's superior military might, and the Palestinians brandishing their slingshots on CNN, the world has reversed the labels. Israel has become Goliath.
This imagery sells newspapers and increases TV ratings. And in a world fed a steady diet of Super Bowls and Academy Awards, the moral truth is often less important than the thrill of an underdog victory.
Reason #3 -- The world applies a double-standard of morality to Israel.
Charles Krauthammer writes in The New Republic:
"It is plain that compared with the way its neighbors treat protestors, prisoners and opposition in general, Israel is a beacon of human rights. The salient words are Hama, a town where Syria dealt with an Islamic uprising by killing perhaps 20,000 people in two weeks and then paving the dead over; and Black September (1970), during which enlightened Jordan dealt with its Palestinian intifada by killing at least 2,500 Palestinians in ten days, a toll that the Israel intifada would need ten years to match."
So why does the world apply this double-standard?
Ever since Abraham first introduced to humanity the concept of monotheism, the Jewish people have become the torch-bearers of the moral message. The Ten Commandments codified the idea that you can't just live as you please; there is one God for all humanity who makes moral demands on human beings. Disseminating this message became the Jewish mission as a "Light Unto the Nations." And despite the fact that Jews were never more than a tiny fraction of the world's population, these ideas became the basis for the civilized world.
Why would anyone hate the Jewish message? Says Aldous Huxley in his book "Confessions of an Atheist":
"I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently, I assumed that it had none and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption. For myself, as no doubt for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneously liberation from a certain political and economic system and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom."
Jews became a lightening rod for those opposed to the moral message. If Jews behaved well, they made those around them feel deficient. If they misbehaved, those around them felt relieved of the moral demands the Jews represented in history. So... many people (journalists among them) have a vested interest in portraying Jews in a negative light.
Hitler expressed it bluntly:
"Providence has ordained that I should be the greatest liberator of humanity. I am freeing man from the restraints of an intelligence that has taken charge, from the dirty and degrading self-mortifications of a false vision called conscience and morality, and from the demands of a freedom and personal independence which only a very few can bear."

War desires
I would tell one more reason... As you see in the Cinema, or even in the old Rome, the human kind has a desire for violence, we love it. So, when it's possible to provoke, the media will do it. The media is not interested in peace, peace doesn't sell anything, peace doesn't move the world.
(14) Anonymous, May 31, 2001 12:00 AM
I think you're kidding yourselves. Yes, all those answers apply to some extent. But the only thing that explains anti-Semitism in every place and at every time is...that people hate Jews. Amalek, Haman, and Hitler needed no reason, and neither does anyone else. I think it almost evident that the Almighty created anti-Semitism, probably as a way to keep us in line. The more out of line we are, the stronger the "reminder." Nothing else explains how there can be anti-Semitism in Central American countries w/out Jews (Nicaragua, if I recall correctly) or in outposts with few Jews (e.g., Japan). Or, how there can be Christian-style, Christ-killer anti-Semitism in Arab countries, even more vehement than their progenitors'. Or how we are villified contemporaneously as both communists and capitalists, rich and poor, clannish and assimilated. Since Jews have always been hated by people who have no idea what Jews stand for, including morality and conscience, it is too glib, and it gives morons too much credit, to assert that they don't like us for those traits.

Reason3: Double standard of morality
I believe there are two ideas mixed in this laast part. One is the concept of a "double standard". The other, however is clear to me that is more connected to the existence of antisemitism base purely in senseless and irrational hatred. This last one is, unfortunately a fourth reason that, in many cases, permeates the other three.
(12) Tim Ellis, January 2, 2001 12:00 AM
I am glad to see articles like this one, I am a Christian American that has noticed for a long time the media Bias against Israel in reporting the Truth about what is happening, It saddens and suprises me that so many us papers are guilty, though it is no suprise of cnn's reporting...
(11) Ned Miller, December 24, 2000 12:00 AM
Excellent insight to the horrendous and worldly media problem.
Thank you, Rabbi Shraga, for attacking
an issue that is so upsetting to so many Jews. I wish the newspapers themselves would have the courage to print your comments, which are so poignant. Thank you.
(10) Dale Chitwood, December 24, 2000 12:00 AM
If an old retired logger from the North Western part of the USA can see biased reporting from the world network media, anyone should be able to see it. What I see is the Israeli people doing all the giving and bending, while the Palestinians are the agressors full of hatred and thoughts of annihilation. Israel is the only people in the intire history of the world in which GOD gave land, and the boundries are recorded. The Palestinians are squaters and do not belong there.
(9) Anonymous, December 16, 2000 12:00 AM
the media is biased no matter what, its not the media but the greedia !
the greedia thinks about things in terms of dollar signs not politics, unless it fits into their agenda
do not expect objective truth from greedia unless you become the media and do the investigating yourself !

The Act of Providence
I wanted to thank Aish.com for the important work you do. We need you.
We are all distressed with the
Middle East war however, I consider these events as God's reminder to all Jews;
* no matter what a Jew does, what he achieves, how rich or influential he thinks he is, how great as a citizen of any country he is, or how remote he is from being Jewish the world will remind him that he is a "Hebrew". And Like centuries before the world would be happy to dismentalle "Israel" and everything Jewish if it could.
It is also a warning to us Jews that if we won't unite, if we won't live together in peace and love,we will face another destraction. We can't aford that.
That Double Standard
Yes, Western news media do apply a double standard. They assume that Israel is part of the West and that its actions should be governed by the kind of self-restraint and lawfulness that is expected of governments dealing with civil disorders in Western Europe and North America. Arab states by contrast are not expected to be governed by the rule of law. So underlying the critical attitude of the Western media is a feeling that Israel is "us" and the Arabs are "them." It will not be a good day for Israel if that perception -- and the double standard that goes with it -- disappears.

excellent and informative, gets right to the point of media bias against Israel
An excellent psychological, moral discussion on media bias against Israel.
(5) Stephen Rosenthal, December 10, 2000 12:00 AM
Of course..this is the burden of responsibility we accept.
When we accepted the terms of the Mosaic Covenant, this bias came along with our agreement with G-d. We have a special responsibility to be the scapegoat for all the world. We will be judged and rewarded in the world to come. As many understand, while some call us the "chosen" people, the word can also be correctly translated "choosing" people. We chose to believe and trust G-d, and therefore to accept the jealousy and hatred given the Jews from that time forward. We chose the greater suffering and the greater reward.
Only G-d knows?
Media has been always biased. As you reported in your own article (reference to David and Goliath -The 1948 and 1967 wars against Israel). The truth is the least common of the shared pieces of information. Behind every line of "true unbiased news" there are lots of hidden interests -political, economical, nationalistic, religious...
After traveling and getting to know the People behind the borders of a Nation; I have come to realize that nobody can describe better to you what a particular conflict of interest is than those things you see and the comments you get back from those you talk to but, even then, their opinion is to be taken with some restrain.
The conflict Arab-Israeli goes back to ancient Biblical times but do not forget that Christianity has contributed a lot to the conflicting situation in Israel. So, it might be time to think about whose benefits and whose interests are most fullfilled with all this unstabillity.
The truth is, only G-d knows!

But the Arabs feel exactly the same way!
I know that many Jews feel a rising bias in the media. Most of this, I believe, is from left-wing periodicals which support the Palestinian cause.
However, when I look at Arab sites I notice that the Arabs also believe that their cause is distorted by the media and that they are not given an imparital view.
Can both sides be right? Or wrong?

My experience-Don't take the media seriously
From my personal experience, I take no media news at face value. When I was a child, I fell down an open manhole. Some people thought this so strange that several major newspapers and radio stations here in New York reported the story as they thought it to be. My friends still jokingly refer to me as "Joey where are you" over three decades later. The problem was that no reporter asked me what happened; not even the news photographer who came to my house to take my picture. My untold elaboration would have made the event more logical. But in my circle, the incorrect version became history.
This was not an earthshaking event. But I learned not to respect the media.
(1) Julius Romanoff, December 4, 2000 12:00 AM
Media bias.
The fact that Jews have rarely found supporters in history from non-Jews suggest that lies about Jews have been repeated so many times and in so varied time periods that they become accepted. My army experience during World War II was a revelation to me. I was on KP during basic training, and a fellow soldier from Texas said "You can't be a Jew. Jews don't get KP, and you don't have horns". Distorted concepts regarding Jews are deeply ingrained among people who don"t have much contact with Jews. The state of Israel has done much to make the people of the world see Jews as human beings with problems similar to their own.

Best Stagg Bowl Matchup
In the lead up to this year's Stagg Bowl, I was impressed by the apparent ease with which Mount Union and St. Thomas earned their trip to Salem. Both teams trailed for the first time all season in the finals, and the final score was also the closest game for either team this season. Obviously it takes a great team to make it through the playoffs, but I wanted to find out where this year's matchup compares to some of the other outstanding championship games of the last seventeen years.
Yes, Mount Union usually makes it look easy every year, but this year seemed different. With a fairly soft schedule in the regular season (SoS = 0.458 this year), and paths to the finals that usually aren't the hardest in the country, it can sometimes be hard to get a good read on them until the championship round. But by playing UW-Whitewater in the semifinals, and by beating them handily at 36-6, the Purple Raiders proved that they weren't the "soft" team that had lost to the Warhawks in the championship in 2014 & 2013 (as a caveat: I don't think any team that makes the national championship game should ever be considered soft). In fact, this year's Mount Union squad may be the most consistently excellent team since 1999, with their rating never dipping below 0.9996 throughout the season.
When comparing St. Thomas to their 2012 Stagg Bowl team, this year's squad had a better offense (AdjO from 42.70 to 57.61) and defense (AdjD from 4.47 to 1.06), a more difficult regular season schedule (SoS from 0.621 to 0.669), and a tougher path in the playoffs. Had the 2012 Tommies played the same playoff schedule as the 2015 Tommies, they would have only had a 5.8% chance of making the finals. With the wealth of returning talent, the Tommies were projected as the #4 team in the country in my model, and they quickly overtook UMHB and UWW to assert themselves as one of, if not the most dominant team in the country for most of season.
For some perspective on how consistently excellent each of these teams were this season, here's their season-long rating progression:
Well, that's not very helpful. Maybe if I zoom in to the range of ratings from 0.900 to 1.000 (which is about equivalent to where you would expect the Top 20 to fall), We'll be able to get a better visual of their rating progressions:
Well, there definitely was some early improvement for St. Thomas, but after midseason, both teams are still basically a straight line at 1.000. Perhaps I need to zoom in a little more:
Finally, some up and down, but I had to zoom in to 0.995 - 1.000. Historically, only about one team every other week would fall into this range, but St. Thomas and Mount Union maintained their overwhelming dominance of the rest of the Division for an entire season.
To see how favorably Mount Union and St. Thomas compared to Stagg Bowl matchups of years past, I plotted every team's pregame ratings on one bubble chart, seen below. The size of each team's bubble corresponds to their rating relative to the thirty-three other teams who have played for the championship since 1999. Teams below the dashed grey line are better than an average Stagg Bowl team, while teams above it are worse than average. Keep in mind that an average Stagg Bowl team is still a very good football team.
While neither Mount Union nor St. Thomas this year were the best team to ever play for the Stagg Bowl (they rank 5th & 6th, respectively), as a combination they tend to stand out. To get a better idea of how balanced and outstanding both teams were this year, let's eliminate matchups where either of the teams playing were "worse than average."
Only the games in 2009, 2010, and 2015 made the cut, and this year's team's were rated higher than any of the four teams in 2009 or 2010.
All of this analysis, just like any rating system or statistical analysis in general, should be taken with a grain of salt though. It's worth noting that Mount Union had the five top pre-Stagg Bowl ratings in my dataset, but they only went 2-3 in those games, including a 2003 matchup against St. John's that gave the Johnnies only a 4.5% chance of winning. Stats are fun for comparison and analysis, but they don't win championships; the teams do.

Slowing Economy Means Mixed Outlook for Asia's Chemical Industry, IHS Says
Engineering 360 News Desk | October 23, 2015
Despite a slowdown in China's economic growth that saw the country's economy advance 6.9% in the first three quarters of 2015, demand for chemicals in China remains healthy and growing, thanks to the country's role as a global leader in consumer goods manufacturing and growing domestic consumption, says IHS.
Paul Pang, IHS "Demand growth for chemicals in China will continue to provide opportunities for the global chemical industry," says Paul Pang, vice president, greater China, for IHS Chemical. Benefiting from its explosive growth in the consumer goods manufacturing sector, China has become the world's largest consumer of chemicals. He says that the country currently consumes more than one-third of the world's base chemical production, "which is greater than all of Europe combined or all of North America."
To meet growing chemical demand, China has invested not only in conventional petrochemicals, Pang says, but also in unconventional chemicals. "By 2020, close to 40% of olefins in China will come from unconventional feedstocks, such as methanol-to-olefins (MTO), coal-to-olefins (CTO) and propane dehydrogenation (PDH)," Pang says. This is up from 20% in 2015, and up from a rate of nearly 0% of olefins coming from unconventional sources five years ago. IHS Chemical expects investments in unconventional olefins production to peak this year at more than $20 billion.
Nariman Behravesh, IHSNariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS, says that lower oil prices are benefiting the plastics industry and stimulating plastics demand in Asia, particularly in countries such as China and India. "Lower oil prices are driving consumer spending in Asia for many lower-cost consumer goods and electronics, as well as processed foods and soft drinks, all of which are packaged in plastic," he says.
However, the rest of Asia is likely to feel the pain from the slowdown in China's growth rates. "The mood of chemical producers in much of the rest of Asia is one of apprehension," says Tony Potter, vice president, Asia Pacific, at IHS Chemical. "Nonetheless, it has been a good year for many olefin and polyolefin producers, since cracker margins were buoyed by a tight market, and product-price declines generally lagged those of the underlying oil and naphtha prices."
Tony Potter, IHS IHS expects average margins to slip in 2016 due to concerns over China's economy, as well as new supply coming on-stream. Producers fear that China's economic performance will be less robust than the forecast, Potter says. This could undermine demand. In addition, starting in 2017, the global market will have to accommodate large volumes of material from new coal-based Chinese plants and new ethane crackers expected online in the U.S.
However, Potter says that not all olefins value chains are equal. Investments in coal- and ethane-based olefins are creating supply gaps in C4s and aromatics. In addition, the supply-demand stories for elastomers and fibers are complicated by large inventory overhangs of natural rubber and cotton.

The first Dota 2 major of 2019 is here and all Chongqing Major live streams can be found on our matches section.
The Chinese Dota 2 major is the second of the 2018-19 DPC season and takes place from January 19th to 27th 2019.
Group stage matches are scheduled to being at 3am CET, with start times varying when the Chongqing Major bracket starts.
All matches are best-of-three, except for lower-bracket round one matches (BO1) and the grand final, which is BO5.
Luckbox users can find all Chongqing Major live streams, select a preferred commentary language and see expected rosters throughout the tournament, with final scores appearing on our Dota 2 results page.
The prize pool is $1,000,000, with 15,000 DPC points available.
The build-up to the event was partly overshadowed by Chongqing Major drama that resulted in TNC Predator's Kuku being banned from the tournament in China. Filipino Kuku used a racist, anti-Chinese insult during an online match in November 2018.
It was suspected the Chinese authorities had played a part, prompting some members of the Dota 2 talent pool to boycott the event, meaning the broadcast talent for the Chongqing Major includes some less familiar names.
The English speaking broadcast team features Richard Campbell as desk host, while casters are Gabriel "Lyrical" Cruz, Ioannis "Fogged" Loucas, Toby "TobiWan" Dawson and Kyle Freedman.
Analysts will be David "GoDz" Parker, Dominik "lacoste" Stipić, Alan "Nahaz" Bester and Dominik "Black^" Reitmeier, with Lawrence "Malystryx" Phillips as interviewer.
Johan "Weppas" Westberg, Jonathan "PimpmuckL" Liebig and Aleksandar "Bukka" Bukurecki will be observers.

Q: overloaded assigment operator not called Thank you all for your answers. And thanks for the cppinsight and godbolt, did not know these.
I edited my question here what I want to do. Basically I have a SDK acquisition function that has an pointer float argument as input, and I want to monitor that argument in real time to know the status of the acquisition. Now i got this code to work:
#include <iostream>

template <class T>
class MonitoredVariable
{
public:
    MonitoredVariable() {}
   // MonitoredVariable(const T& value) : m_value(value) {}

    operator T&() { return m_value; }
   //operator const T&() const { return m_value; }

    MonitoredVariable& operator = (float value)
    {
        printf("Variable modified\n");
        this->m_value = &value;
        printf("%f \n", *this->m_value);

        return *this;
    }

      MonitoredVariable&  operator * () {return *this;}

private:
    T m_value;
};

void SDKfunctionIcannotChange(float *a)
{
    *a = (float) 5.2;
    printf("%f \n", *a); // if I comment this out, x will not update?!?!
    return;
}

int main()
{
    MonitoredVariable<float*> x;
    *x=0;
    SDKfunctionIcannotChange(x);
    printf("%f \n", *x);

return 1;
}

But strangely if I comment out that printf command in the SDKfunctionIcannotChange function, then the x value will not change. Any ideas why is this happening?
So with printf (correct):
Variable modified
0.000000
5.200000
5.200000

and without
Variable modified
0.000000
0.000000

thanks..

A: This answers original question before extensive edit.
Basically your program is equivalent to:
int main()
{
    float *x = nullptr;
    float y = 5;
    *x = y; // here is UB since x == nullptr
}

See cppinsights: problematic line looks like this *static_cast<float *>(x.operator float *&()) = y;. So your code do not use custom operator=, but conversion operator.
Basically problem is code which uses template.
I do not know what was your intent, maybe this:
#include <iostream>

template <class T>
class MonitoredVariable
{
public:
    MonitoredVariable() {}
    MonitoredVariable(const T& value) : m_value(value) {}

    operator T&() { return m_value; }
    operator const T&() const { return m_value; }

    MonitoredVariable& operator = (const T& value)
    {
        printf("Variable modified\n");
        m_value = value; // here was also a problem
        return *this;
    }

int main()
{
    MonitoredVariable<float*> x;
    float y = 5;
    x = &y;

    return;
}

https://godbolt.org/z/js5zdz

A: The *x expression calls operator* with an argument of x. During the name lookup, a builtin operator* for pointers is found. Given that your class MonitoredVariable has a conversion operator to T (which is a pointer type in your case), that conversion operator is called and the returned pointer, which is null, is then dereferenced causing a crash.
What you probably wanted to write is x = y.
