As it stands, the matter here is quite simple -- Jacques Kallis is not good enough to play in the IPL, or any competitive form of Twenty20 at the top level. Sorry, he's just not. For the season, he averages 18.1, with a strike rate of 106, no centuries or fifties, and two ducks. Perhaps his bowling might save him, you're saying? Think again: in 9 games, he's nabbed only 4 wickets at an average of 69.25, with the highest economy rate (9.55/over) in his team for any player who's bowled more than 4 overs in the season.
At $900,000, he is undoubtedly the bust of the draft, and one of the primary reasons why Bangalore are guarantee to get the inaugural Wooden Spoon in the IPL. And if it's true that Rahul Dravid was the one who chose him for the team, then he himself should be stripped of the captaincy immediately, since his reasoning powers must obviously be slipping in middle-age. Anyone who's ever watched Kallis play knew this was bound to happen.
Uncle J Rod already brought this up a few of days ago, and I wasn't going to mention it again, but Kallis' innings yesterday only reminded me of it, since it made me try to work out what the hell goes on in that cavernous amphitheater mind of his.
For anyone who hasn't read it yet, here's the official Q & A with the man himself. It's a classic. Tomorrow morning, I could receive a recorded audiobook copy of Vladimir Nabokov's lost manuscript, read by J.D. Salinger, hand delivered to my door by Thomas Pynchon, and that Kallis questionnaire would still be the most exciting discovery of the week. It's just that good.
Apart from a bunch of delicious nuggets about the man -- a) he considers "Implement" [sic] one of his strongest morals, b) he considers his Investment Advisor an "item" or c) his Investment Advisor is one of the 5 most important items in his life -- the ultimate find here is the question regarding Kallis' four dream dinner guests. Ready for it? Bill Clinton... Neve Campbell... Denise Richards... and Nelson Mandela.
Seriously, what can he be expecting? Mandela and Clinton to talk, while the two girls are going at it in the background? Is that what dinner parties are like at the Kallises' -- the boys talk while the girls lick each other just within eye's view? Or is it a more serious affair, with Mandela retelling details of his fight for justice and his 27-year prison sentence, leading Campbell to mention how much that reminds her of a plotline in the third season of Party of Five, centred on Bailey's character and his alcoholism? Or are the words "Nelson Mandela" added to every answer that white South Africans give about any topic whatsoever?
So many questions, so much confusion... will someone please get Jacques Kallis out the IPL and out of my head?!!
What the hell has came over David Hussey lately? His form has dipped gravely in the past couple of weeks, and that innings against Rajasthan was one of the worst I've seen from him so far in this tournament, culminating with a truly atrocious shot. He was years too early into the pull and ended up getting bowled by the Royals' 6th best bowler. Is that what sharing a locker room as Ganguly does to a person after a while?
Whenever I see his surname and his initial on the scorecard, I keep thinking the name of Kolkata's wicketkeeper is "Willy Saha." I don't know why. His name is actually Wriddhiman Saha, but I think "Willy Saha" is a great name for a keeper. Who wouldn't feel confident knowing trust old Willy Saha is behind the stumps? So can we all just start calling him Willy from now on?
Ceci, glad you found the site. Kallis is, undoubtedly, my cricketing white whale. I just can't work him out, and it bothers me. I don't hate him the way I hate G. Smith, or McGrath. It's not irrational hate that exists solely to make the game more interesting for me as a fan -- Kallis is just a really weird specimen, and he demands analysis.
As long as it's attributed, take anything you want from the site.
It's a shame the IPL wasn't more freely available and convenient for everyone around the world. Regardless of what you think about the concept or the Twenty20 format, it's just cool to have all the great players in one place at one time, and to have every fan in the world focused on the same tournament.


Hinterland – the back country. The undiscovered landscape untouched and unblemished by modern hands. Pictures reveal the stark reality of the everyday, and lay bare the poignant beauty of the ignored street sign you pass by day in and day out. I want my photography to let the abandoned churches speak for themselves, and give them the chance to reveal their secrets. So often we forget to see the world around us. The wonderful thing about photography is that it freezes time, forces you to consider just a millisecond of eternity, to ponder that single moment, and to appreciate it for its every minute detail. Photography causes you to be still and simply be, if only for a moment. I hope that through my art, others can learn to appreciate the simple and the forgotten. Maybe someone will learn to wonder anew at the many worlds that our modern times have left behind and discarded – the forgotten school house or the rusted out train car – even the neon signs and the storefronts we see every day, but yet still fail to really see. Beauty is everywhere i look – I find it in the leaves on the ground and in the stars in the sky. It speaks to me from the flying traffic and from a young child's innocent face. And God is there, behind it all. He is what makes it real, and what makes it beautiful. Ultimately, my art is my worship – my praise to the One behind the scenes, the one who created it all, and like some of his most beautiful creations, He too is the One who is all too often forgotten and ignored in these busy times. My art is my small way of remembering where I came from, honoring both God and the back country – The Hinterland.

Centralisation of Temporary Foreign Worker Units in Toronto, Ontario and Montréal, Québec
by Colin R. Singer / Wednesday, 29 October 2014 / Published in 2012
Operational Bulletin 433 – June 13, 2012
This Operational Bulletin (OB) provides information about the centralisation of the services provided by:
The Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) from:
Calgary and,
To the Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) in:
Toronto and,
The Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) in Toronto and Montreal will continue to entertain opinions and enquiries related to exemptions from:
The Labour Market Opinion (LMO) and / or,
The Work Permit (WP)
However, the Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) will no longer provide outreaches. This change comes into effect from July 01, 2012.
The Changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs)
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has come up with a modernisation strategy. It plans to centralise services across the Department for:
Reducing costs and,
Improving efficiency levels
As a result of this strategy, the Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) in Toronto and Montreal will become the sole points of contact for:
Canadian employers and / or,
Their representatives
The Toronto Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) will be responsible for providing services to the employers in:
Northwest Territories and,
Similarly, the Montreal Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) will be responsible for providing services to the employers in:
Newfoundland and,
However, the Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) will no longer provide outreaches. This change comes into effect from July 01, 2012. The CIC aims to begin the process of transition from June 15, 2012.
The Transition Period – The Vancouver, Calgary and the Moncton Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs)
The Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) in Vancouver and Calgary will continue to accept opinions and enquiries related to exemptions from:
They will do so until June 15, 2012. Thereafter, these offices would then need to focus on finalising the work, which is already in process.
Situations could arise where these offices receive opinion requests and enquiries after June 15, 2012. In this scenario, these offices would need to direct such opinion requests and enquiries to the Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) in Toronto.
Similarly, the Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) in Moncton would be receiving opinions and enquiries related to exemptions from:
However, this office would need to direct such opinion requests and enquiries to the Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) in Montreal. This change is applicable with immediate effect.
Admissibility
The Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) opinion would need to remain confined to adjudicating whether the case presented meets an exemption from:
Foreign worker admissibility does not fall within the jurisdiction of the Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs).
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer at the port of entry to Canada bears the responsibility for taking the final decision on:
Issuing an Labour Market Opinion (LMO) exemption and / or,
Issuing a Work Permit (WP) exemption and,
Situations could arise where applicants:
Believe that they might be inadmissible to Canada and,
Wish to have an assessment conducted prior to their arrival in Canada
Such applicants would need to contact the appropriate Canadian Visa post. They could also refer to the CIC website for obtaining further information on inadmissibility.
The People who Could Request an Exemption Opinion
The Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) only provide opinions for:
This is especially so in case these Canadian employers and / or their representatives are keen to hire visa-exempt temporary foreign workers. That too, visa-exempt temporary foreign workers, who are outside of Canada.
The authorities have provided a dedicated e-mail box in the Toronto and Montreal Temporary Foreign Worker Unit (TFWU) locations. This would enable officers to respond to enquiries from:
However, they would only consider responding to queries related to exemptions from:
These Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) would not respond to any other enquiries.
Officers would need to direct queries on the following subjects to Service Canada:
LMO-related applications and,

Living in Harmony with the Sea: Portier Cove, a Marine Marvel
19 March , 2018
@www.lemoniteur.fr
Monaco's Portier Cove ranks as one the largest construction projects in Europe – and by some measures the largest. Monaco is no stranger to being top of the league, nor to living in harmony with the sea. It appears that Monaco is starting a trend to burst out of its land based straight-jacket every 50 years. First it was Fontvieille reclaimed from the sea. Now it is Portier Cove that takes its place in the Mediterranean. It could be a chapter out of a Jules Verne classic "20.000 Leagues Under The Sea" or a science fiction thriller. Another 50 years and it may be "Beam me up Scottie to Spaceship Monaco".
But feet firmly on the ground for the moment – or 50 metres below the sea to be specific – let's look at what is happening not so very far from the Formula 1 track and the Japanese Garden. And the best person to tell us is Christophe Hirsinger who is managing the project.
@i.f1g.fr
How does Christophe Hirsinger manage in sea 50 metres deep? After a study in 2016 and preparatory work in 2017, a virtual mountain of natural material is in process of being transported and used to fill in the lower 30 metres – a staggering 5 million tons no less.
Like the top layer of a sandwich that leaves 20 metres of a protective belt, a box-like structure, to create a platform on which the enclave Portier Cove will be built.
Don't be surprised if with all this work going on you cannot yet see magnificent buildings rising out of the sea. Half the total work of the project is taking place under the water.
Prince Albert@www.noblesseetroyautes.com
Prince Albert's love for the marine environment and ecosystem has demanded strict protocols be put in place to preserve the flora and fauna and the quality of the water. So Christopher Hirsinger has to liaise with marine biologists who are helping maintain the ecosystem by, among other things, transplanting rare species to special underwater gardens in Fontvieille and Larvotto. The water quality is tested daily both for clarity and for chemical content. The whole project is planned as a show-piece for how engineering can be carried out in sympathy with the environment.
@i2.wp.com
Roll on 2025 when we will see Monaco having grown by 16 hectares. Prince Albert has talked enthusiastically about an ecologically sensitive project that will yield an entire community living among large green spaces and gardens – and sporting many of the world's most luxurious buildings and a Port full of attractions.

Aspirin can significantly reduce death rates for postmenopausal women with cardiovascular disease (CVD), researchers reported at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2005.
Data from nearly 9,000 women with CVD demonstrated that those taking aspirin had significantly lower risk of cardiovascular death as well as from all causes of death, compared to women who did not take the over-the-counter drug.
Women with CVD (8,928) enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, a longitudinal multicenter study of 93,676 women aged 50 to 79 years at baseline, were used for this analysis. The primary outcome was the incidence of cardiovascular events, which included heart attack, stroke, cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality.
Among the 8,928 women with stable CVD, 46 percent reported taking aspirin, of whom 30 percent were on 81mg and 70 percent were on 325mg. Six and a half years after enrolling in the Women's Health Initiative's (WHI) Observational Study, 956 of the women with CVD had died.
During 6.5 years of follow-up, 8.7 percent of participants died when compared to the no aspirin group, both 81mg and 325mg groups were associated with a 17 percent reduction in all-cause mortality and a 25 percent lower death rate from all cardiovascular diseases.
For the prevention of cardiovascular events, both 81mg and 325mg were associated with a non-significant 11 percent reduction in stroke, no effect on MI, and a non-significant reduction in events. Compared to 325mg, treatment with 81mg was not significantly different in its effect on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events or any individual endpoint.
Past studies have shown that aspirin can reduce fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular problems in patients with cardiovascular disease. Despite this well known protective effect, less than half of all women in the study took aspirin regularly, Berger said.
"That was surprising and disappointing. Many studies have shown that 81 mg is just as effective in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events as 325 mg. And it is well known that the higher the dose, the more likely you are to suffer side effects. Why so many women were on the higher dose was unclear.
He also noted that because only postmenopausal women participated in the WHI study, the findings reported today may not apply to young women with CVD.

St John is no Saint!
When the poor McCain story in the NYT first hit I said the following:
This morning on Mid Stream Radio Jazz and I were discussing the NYT piece on McCain. Now the press has for the most part been pretty easy on St John. I said that the fall out from the Times article might be that reporters and other might start looking at and reporting about McCain's relationships with lobbyists.
No sooner was the show over the Michael Isikoff piece hit the wires. Since then it has been almost non stop. The latest is this:
Files and McCain Letter Show Effort to Keep Loophole
WASHINGTON — In late 1998, Senator John McCain sent an unusually blunt letter to the head of the Federal Communications Commission, warning that he would try to overhaul the agency if it closed a broadcast ownership loophole.
The letter, and two later ones signed by Mr. McCain, then chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, urged the commission to abandon plans to close a loophole vitally important to Glencairn Ltd., a client of Vicki Iseman, a lobbyist. The provision enabled one of the nation's largest broadcasting companies, Sinclair, to use a marketing agreement with Glencairn, a far smaller broadcaster, to get around a restriction barring single ownership of two television stations in the same city.
At a news conference on Thursday, Mr. McCain denounced an article in The New York Times that described concerns by top advisers a decade ago about his ties to Ms. Iseman, a partner at the firm Alcalde & Fay. He said he never had any discussions with his advisers about Ms. Iseman and never did any favors for any lobbyist.
One of the McCain campaign's statements about his dealings with Ms. Iseman was challenged by news accounts on Friday. In discussing letters he wrote regulators about a deal involving another of Ms. Iseman's clients, Lowell W. Paxson, the campaign had said the senator had never spoken to her or anyone from the company. But Mr. McCain acknowledged in a 2002 deposition that he had sent the letters after meeting with Mr. Paxson.
So it's now becoming obvious that St John of McCain was not only never a saint but a liar as well. This observation from Steve Soto:
If McCain is revealed to be just another politician whose public persona of integrity is a well-crafted lie, it plays into the hands of the Obama campaign, and helps sell their narrative. Once you tear down the McCain persona, he is nothing more that John McBush, a third term for the worst eight-year period in our country's modern history.
It's time for Obama to quit going after Hillary and time for Hillary to quit comparing Obama to Bush. They should both be looking toward November and be going after the saint that isn't.

Q: Char isn't converting to int For some reason my C program is refusing to convert elements of argv into ints, and I can't figure out why.
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

    fprintf(stdout, "%s\n", argv[1]);

    //Make conversions to int
    int bufferquesize = (int)argv[1] - '0';

    fprintf(stdout, "%d\n", bufferquesize);
}

And this is the output when running ./test 50:
50
-1076276207
I have tried removing the (int), throwing both a * and an & between (int) and argv[1] - the former gave me a 5 but not 50, but the latter gave me an output similar to the one above.  Removing the - '0' operation doesn't help much.  I also tried making a char first = argv[1] and using first for the conversion instead, and this weirdly enough gave me a 17 regardless of input.
I'm extremely confused.  What is going on?

A: Try using atoi(argv[1]) ("ascii to int").

A: You are just trying to convert a char* to int, which of course doesn't make much sense. You probably need to do it like:
int bufferquesize = 0;
for (int i = 0; argv[1][i] != '\0'; ++i) {
   bufferquesize *= 10; bufferquesize += argv[1][i] - '0';
}

This assumes, however, that your char* ends with '\0', which it should, but probably doesn't have to do.

A: (type) exists to cast types - to change the way a program looks a piece of memory.  Specifically, it reads the byte encoding of the character '5' and transfers it to memory.  A char* is an array of chars, and chars are one byte unsigned integers.  argv[1] points to the first character.  Check here for a quick explanation of pointers in C.  So your "string" is represented in memory as:
['5']['0']

when you cast
int i = (int) *argv[1]

you're only casting the first element to an int, thus why you
The function you're looking for is either atoi() as mentioned by Scott Hunter, or strtol(), which I prefer because of its error detecting behaviour.

A: argv[1] is a char * not a char you can't convert a char * to an int. If you want to change the first character in argv[1] to an int you can do.
int i = (int)(argv[1][0] - '0');

I just wrote this
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    printf("%s\n", argv[1]);

    int i = (int)(argv[1][0] - '0');

    printf("%d\n", i);
    return 0;
}

and ran it like this
./testargv 1243

and got
1243

Welcome to Episode #75 of That Shakespeare Life, the podcast that takes you behind the curtain and into the life of William Shakespeare.
When we think of unicorns, we most often think of the mythical creature roaming forests in Europe or if you are from the UK, you'll likely make a connection with the famous nursery rhyme about the Lion and the Unicorn. In addition to being the national animal for Scotland, and a symbol of their strength and independence, for Shakespeare and the 16th century society in Scotland, the unicorn is a type of currency.
Minted originally by James III of Scotland, it would be James VI of Scotland, also James I of England, who would first bring the Scottish Unicorn into the national symbolism for Britain as a whole. Here this week to help us explore the advent of the Scottish unicorn on Britain's royal coat of arms, as well as the numismatic history of the Scottish unicorn as a coin, is our guest Dr. Crystal Lake.

In this episode, I'll be asking Crystal about :
Scotland also has a coin which is called the unicorn. Crystal, why was that particular coin called the unicorn?
Isn't the unicorn the one animal that legend hold can conquer a lion, the national symbol of England? How did the royal coat of arms go over with the public, considering the tempestuous relationship the unicorn and lion seem to have?
Did the currency of England and Scotland unify under one banner, such that the Scottish coins were now accepted currency in England or vice versa?
To slay the tiger that doth live by slaughter,
To tame the unicorn and lion wild,
Rape of Lucrece
Unicorn of James IV of Scotland (r. 1488–1513). Gift of Assunta Sommella Peluso, Ada Peluso, and Romano I. Peluso, in memory of Ignazio Peluso, 2002. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City Source
Unicorn, Scotland's coin
The unicorn coin was made of gold and an official currency in Scotland from 1484-1525. Issued under the reign of James III, it had a value of 18 shillings Scots. During the reign of James V, the price of gold increased so much that it became worth 22 shillings.
The coin itself features a picture of a unicorn on it, thus the name. It was a favorite coin among Scottish royalty to give as gifts to foreign dignataries. In 1503, James IV gave 100 unicorns to an English ambassador named Lord Dacre.
There was also a half-unicorn coin which had the value of half the regular unicorn, or about 11 shillings Scots.
During the reign of James V ("Shakespeare's James" was James VI. This is James VI's dad) the unicorn was replaced by the gold crown, called an Abbey crown. That is why Crystal points out today that by Shakespeare's time, the coin was more ornamental and decorative than official currency, despite being in circulation.

" —PINCHES, J.H & R.V., The Royal Heraldry of England, 1974, Heraldry Today SOURCE
The Royal Coat of Arms in Scotland and England
When James VI came to the throne in England in 1603, his number one priority was focused on unification. While he would not see the nations become what is today Great Britain, it was his aim and that is reflected in decisions like his creation of the Royal Coat of Arms that included both a lion, as the national symbol of England, and the unicorn, the national symbol of Scotland.
This royal coat of arms is still used today, by Elizabeth II, and when she is in England the unicorn is on the right, while when in Scotland, the unicorn is on the left.
It is also called the Royal Banner, or more popularly, the Lion Rampant.
wert thou the
unicorn, pride and wrath would confound thee and
make thine own self the conquest of thy fury
Timon of Athens, IV.3
The Lion and the Unicorn as they appear in A Nursery Rhyme Picture Book by L. Leslie Brooke. Public Domain.
Lion and the Unicorn Nursery Rhyme
Among the general populace, it seems this unification came with a great deal of questions and individual expressions of both hope and doubt. After all, the nations had been enemies in the past.
Thus was born the famous nursery rhyme called The Lion and the Unicorn. It is dated to 1603, the very year James came to the throne, and these are the lyrics:
The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.
Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.
And when he had beat him out,
He beat him in again;
He beat him three times over,
His power to maintain.
As poetry often does, you can read alot into these lines. The poem reveals a great deal about the mindset of the people at this time of great change.

The Kelpie by Thomas Millie Dow 1895, source
The Kelpie
Falling into the same category as fairies, nimphs, and mermaids, we cannot leave behind the topic of a magical unicorn without mentioning another famous Scottish waterhorse, the kelpie.
Described by one historian as "the Lowland name of a demon in the shape of a horse", the Kelpie was a magical horse like creature, with black body and hooves which were backwards compared to the normal land horse. The creature who was said to live in the water as a horse, could able to come out on land and change into any figure it wanted, but usually that of a human to deceive its' intended victim. Once there, it would lure men (and often children) to their deaths, by dragging them into the water where they would be drowned and devoured.
Perhaps their generally fearsome and rather disgusting reputation is why they haven't maintained the prominent position in our collective memories enjoyed by the unicorn.

Studying the human body with K-3rd-grade students is all about having fun, doing cool experiments, and exploring good books. With these lesson plans, all you need to do is purchase a few supplies and books and you are set for a fun 12 weeks of exploration.
You'll spend 12 weeks studying different systems of the body, taking 1-2 days each week to read, work on projects and experiments, or check out cool links online. Your kids will build their own human body, adding in all their 'insides' as they study them. They'll learn all about their brain, heart, circulatory system, muscles, bones, joints, and many other topics. The planning work has been done for you with these lesson plans. Just gather your books, supplies, and lesson plans and you are ready to go!
After that we read a few sections from the Usborne First Encyclopedia of the Human Body (pgs 4-5 and 42-43). I asked TJ to tell me about one thing she learned from our reading. She dictated her sentences to me (with a bit of prompting and reminding to tell me in complete sentences) and I copied down her narration and had her read it back to me.
It was time for an activity to reinforce our reading. I found an idea to make DNA models from liquorice, marshmallows, and toothpicks (you can see the original, more advanced idea here).
I adapted it for a younger child by skipping the colored marshmallows and just talking about the shape of the DNA and it's job in our bodies.
TJ and I learned about the brain and nervous system this week. It was a lighter science week – we didn't have any big projects planned but we still had fun.
Then it was time for reading. I read a library book, My Brain, while TJ coloured a picture of a brain for her body poster. (Please disregard the pj's – we often have pyjama day at our house!) We also looked at the pictures in Seymour Simon's book, The Brain. The writing is too technical for TJ to understand but the pictures are great.
After she finished colouring her picture I cut it out and she attached it to her body poster. Next week we'll start learning about two of our senses – hearing and seeing.
This week we started our first of three weeks learning about the senses. We focused on our senses of hearing and seeing and started by reading a few pages from The First Encyclopedia of the Human Body (pgs. 8-11). We decided to try one of the simple activities included in the book. TJ grabbed some crayons and we went in the dark bathroom to see if we could tell what colors they were in the dark. She discovered that it's very hard to tell colors apart – they are all various shades of grey and black. After that she dictated her narration to me (one thing that she learned about each sense) and she added a picture.
We read a few library books. She read Hearing by Helen Frost and I read The Listening Walk and a few random library books about the senses. I meant to pick up a Braille book from the library but I totally forgot about it.
TJ has really been enjoying our human body study and she says that her favorite part is the body poster that she's making. Sadly we are still focusing on the senses so she hasn't been adding any new parts to her poster. This week we focused on tasting and smelling. We started by reading a few pages from The First Encyclopedia of the Human Body and watching a few experiments on an InquisiKids DVD. She loves that DVD and was excited when I told her we'd be ordering a new one. After she watched a few experiments I had her dictate a narration while I wrote it down, then she added a title and a picture.
This was our last week to study the senses. We finished up by learning about our sense of touch. After reading a few pages from The First Encyclopedia of the Human Body and completing a narration we did a few simple experiments.
After completing an experiment page we read a few pages from the encyclopedia about skin. Using the Usborne Science Activities book, she tried a few simple activities then I helped her make copies of our fingerprints to look at. I wanted to let her get a close look at them but couldn't find the magnifying glass (it's so annoying to find that I'm missing something I need!). We finished up our session by looking at a few books about skin and the sense of touch – I can tell by Touching, Your Skin and Mine, and First Facts: Touching.
She's looking forward to our next science lesson because she gets to add a new piece to her human body poster.
Last week TJ learned abut bones and joints. We started by reading a few pages from The First Encyclopedia of the Human Body. TJ has started reading the first little 'blurb' aloud to me and then I read the captions and other information while we look at the pictures. We finished with a narration and then TJ cut out the bones to add to her body poster.
We finished the lesson by reading a few library books – What's Inside Me? My Bones and Muscles, Dem Bones, and Bones (Seymour Simon book – LOVE these books – the pictures are always amazing).

When Bernie Sanders Sticks Up For Hillary Clinton Over Donald Trump, This Is How He Benefits
By Chris Tognotti
On Tuesday, followers of the Democratic presidential primary got an earful of what's been a strangely familiar sound lately: Underdog Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders defending the party's presidential frontrunner, Hillary Clinton. It was all thanks to to the man at the head of the GOP field, billionaire real estate magnate Donald Trump, who during a Monday night rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan unleashed an inflammatory, sexist attack on the former secretary of state. But still, you have to wonder: Why does Sanders stick up for Clinton?
Think about it, and you'll remember other little moments similar to this. Like when Sanders memorably reassured Clinton at a Democratic presidential debate in October that he and so many others were "sick of hearing about your damn emails." It made him look good, for sure, but it also provided a big boost to Clinton, effectively letting her know that she wouldn't face an in-party interrogation over that particular controversy.
So what gives? Why lend your ostensible rival a helping hand? The answer, as is so often the case in politics, is that everybody gets a little something. Obviously, pushing back against sexism is a just cause in and of itself. But when Sanders speaks out in Clinton's defense, he makes some strategic gains of his own, too.

Whatever Sanders might think in his heart of hearts about his odds of being elected president, he's not a wild-eyed optimist, nor is he unaware of the daunting challenge he faces. Regardless of what the anti-Clinton wings of both major parties think about her, in addition to possessing the obvious support of the establishment and a cozy relationship with the Democratic National Committee, she's got huge leads in key battleground states, ones Sanders faces very long odds against.
As such, this really isn't the time for him to start breathing fire at her, unless it's demanded in a debate. The Clintons are well-known for their thick loyalty, and despite the current race, Sanders and Clinton have had a friendly relationship for years. If Sanders intends to have any considerable political impact in the years to come, it doesn't hurt to keep things largely warm with her. In the likely event that she wins the nomination and eventual presidency, she'll probably be more receptive to Sanders' input and influence if they avoid the kind of acrimonious battle that she had with now-President Obama in 2008.
Simply put, casually defending Clinton from some of the worst Republican attacks — Donald Trump's centrally among them, naturally — costs Sanders nothing major in the eyes of his supporters. But it does gain him some trust and appreciation from the Democratic majority, who definitely don't want to see their preferred nominee get torn to pieces by such a popular new progressive icon.
This stuff goes both ways, too. Although Clinton's well-documented Wall Street coziness has made her unpalatable to a huge amount of Sanders' supporters, there will undoubtedly be a time when she needs to reach out to them. Just as in 2008, when Obama defeated Clinton, if and when Sanders drops out, you can expect "party unity" to be the theme of the day. The more Sanders runs an above-board campaign and goes out of his way to cast Clinton as a good, fair-minded person whom he simply disagrees with, the easier it might someday be for him to urge his supporters to vote for her in a general election.
And make no mistake, if that's what it comes to, he'll want Clinton to win. There's little space for grudges while the Republicans are banging on the White House door. Although the last Democratic debate was the most combative by far, it wouldn't be surprising to see a sort of basic cordiality extended throughout the rest of the campaign.

Your SAG Watchdog has uncovered a disturbing Conflict of Interest involving Howell E. Begle, Jr., Special Council for the MPTF, his law firm of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, and Hasbro.
In fact these unsuspecting members are led to believe that the Shout game is under the sole purview of the MPTF. The fact that Hasbro will produce the game and by all accounts will take 87 percent of the profits is nary to be found. Hell, the name Hasbro is not mentioned once in the letter. A letter that begins with Mr. Begle stating that he is writing to request members support for a major fundraising initiative on behalf of the Motion Picture & Television Fund. And through out Mr. Begle's solicitation, there is nothing to belie the perception that the Shout project is limited to the various guilds and generous major studios.
So here, we here have Mr. Begle playing on members charitable tendencies toward what everyone agrees is a wonderful fund while at the same time failing to mention his firms "client" relationship with Hasbro! A company that will potentially make a bundle off a game concept that is being predicted to be worth Hundreds of Millions of dollars if not Billions of dollars !
So whose interests are Mr. Begle and his law firm looking out for? Certainly not the interests of the unsuspecting actors he is soliciting. Do you think that the aforementioned revelations might represent a Conflict Of Interest? Hmmmm, Perhaps Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is listed on the MPTF letterhead as its Chairman should ask himself whose interest are being served here—the MPTF or Hasbro. It shouldn't be that difficult since he and Hasbro are both represented by CAA, along with another MPTF board member Steven Spielberg!
Hey, Perhaps one of them could query Hasbro about a possible MPTF/Hughes Hubbard & Reed/ Hasbro "Conflict Of Interest" during their business discussions regarding their Dreamworks/Hasbro Transformer Deal!
Special thanks to our Ace Legal Begle investigator Terrence Beasor!

EV Stock Boom! Can Xpeng's rapid share price rise continue?
Xpeng Inc (NYSE: XPEV) is another Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer revving up production and getting noticed in the EV space. While it's a lot smaller, by market cap, than EV heavyweights Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) and NIO Inc (NYSE: NIO), it's enjoying a wild ride. Xpeng's share price has overtaken NIO's in the last few days, illustrating how intensely competitive the space is becoming.
After last week's positive earnings report for Q3, Xpeng's share price surged. The report showed Xpeng Motors to be demonstrating growth, increasing production, and reducing costs. This resulted in a stream of bullish analyst remarks.
Xpeng completed production of 10,000 of its P7 smart EV sports sedan in October. This was ahead of schedule and boosts its credibility as a strong contender in the space. It manufactured them at the Zhaoqing factory, where production began in May. These cars are elegant and comfortable to drive. It equips them with innovative technology, and consumers are taking notice.
Also in October, they announced the building of a second factory in Guangzhou. This is due to be ready in December and combined with the Zhaoqing factory will create an annual production capacity of 250,000 vehicles.
Our next-generation autonomous driving architecture will deliver major enhancements, including Lidar, an enhanced integrated control unit, improved high-precision positioning, enhanced perception fusion, and more computing power: https://t.co/rGbnZApRCo #XPeng #ElectricVehicles pic.twitter.com/6BhEQgdMRo
— Xpeng Motors (@XpengMotors) November 20, 2020
Can Xpeng's share price surge be maintained?
At a time when the Chinese EV sector is trading at, or near, all-time highs, it would be wise to ask if Xpeng's share price escalation can continue?
China is getting onboard with reducing emissions and has begun an aggressive campaign to reduce air pollution. It's encouraging the use of electric vehicles, which is encouraging manufacturing to expand. While Xpeng and NIO currently share a similar share price, NIO's market cap is twice the size of Xpeng's. This gives it room to climb if it can boost its sales targets and scale up.
Xpeng has government support and is backed by Alibaba (NYSE:BABA). Xpeng's CEO is He Xiaopeng, a 43-year-old entrepreneur. He took the position in 2017 and gives the impression of genuine leadership with a sound track record. He became a Billionaire after selling UCWeb, his Chinese mobile Internet software and service provider, to Alibaba Group for over $4 billion in 2014.
Vehicle sales in China grew 12.5% in October year-on-year. While sales of battery-powered electric, plug-in petrol-electric hybrid and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles skyrocketed. These clean energy vehicles rose for the fourth consecutive month to 160,000 sales. Tesla is expanding in China, and its home-grown companies like NIO and Xpeng are getting noticed.
Xpeng is not just optimistic about its chances at EV sales in China. It shipped 100 G3 SUVs to Norway in September for November delivery. These start at an asking price of US$37,667. Norway is big on pushing electric car sales and wants all new cars to be electric by 2025, which is sooner than most European countries. After heavily incentivizing its electric car sales, EV sales in Norway fully outperformed fossil fuel-powered ones for the first-time last year.
While this is excellent news, investors still need to watch for pitfalls. Competition is fierce. It's an area with such lucrative potential that new EV start-ups are vulnerable to being pushed out. Without predictive powers it's impossible to tell what's coming next but for now, they're all enjoying a bullish run. Xpeng is trading at 10X its book value while Tesla trades at 28X and NIO at 9.5X.
US-China Trade War and Distrust
President Trump has fuelled the fire with distrust of Chinese companies. First there was the Huawei commotion, followed by the TikTok debacle. The ongoing US-China trade war has eroded international relations, which will take time to shake off.
Distrust of foreign countries is deeply ingrained in society and with national security being of critical importance, this may continue to cause difficulties for foreign entities trading in the US. The China-US tension may be slightly diffused when Biden comes to power, but it's unlikely to disappear. Biden wants to bring jobs back to America and will attempt to reduce reliance on foreign industry.
Forget Oil and Gas, Electricity is the Future!
Think tank Carbon Tracker released a report that says China forging ahead with electric vehicle adoption could be another nail in the oil and gas industry coffin. In fact, it could reduce oil demand by 70% by 2030. It will also save China over $80 billion annually in oil importing costs.
Battery prices have been falling at 20% annually since 2010. When they fall below $100/kWh, its break-even point for EVs vs old-school carbon burning vehicles. Within the next decade Bloomberg New Energy Finance forecasts a battery price of $61/kWh, while Volkswagen (ETR: VOW3) and Tesla expect $50/kWh. At this point, EVs will become much more affordable for everyday consumers.
Can Xpeng compete in the big leagues?
Whether Xpeng can hold its own in the big leagues remains to be seen. It's off to a phenomenal start and its recent results are encouraging. Nevertheless, it's a relatively new and highly competitive arena, where only the strong will survive. Consumers can be brutal and if they're not in love with the vehicles the company won't stand a chance. Xpeng looks to be doing all the right things to please customers so far, but as a Chinese company listed in the US, it does carry additional investor risk.
