Republicans Deceiving Us (and other ho-hum developments)
Keeping track of issues in a complex society can be an exhausting task. With over 300 million Americans living under the authority of nearly countless levels of government, it is not hard to imagine why many citizens sit out voting…even in those rare places where Republicans aren't trying to obstruct our rights to get to the polls. Recent actions in Republican controlled states to make it harder to vote are even more obnoxious than the President they are trying to protect. And he's pretty damn obnoxious. It is pretty clear that the Republican leadership and its funders have decided that the GOP cannot win on the merits of its men or its policies, so it must restrict access to the polls by those who would rightfully boot them out of office. It's like a football team trailing by 8 points in the final minute of a game finding a way to change the value of a touchdown from 6 to 9 points. Sounds like cheating. And it is.
More importantly, however, Republicans have, for many years, done their best to reframe our views on various institutions in order to demonize the very institutions which deserve our respect and support. Those institutions, which are committed to advocating on behalf of the poor and the powerless, have been made to look like enemies of the country, as greedy opponents of free enterprise, and as obscurers of the truth. These are views absurdly out of whack with how important the ACLU, trial lawyers, and the press are for those who cannot compete in our society because of the unlevel playing field we call modern America.
When you say "ACLU" in polite company, many people bristle. They know they are supposed to hate the ACLU because…because…because…well, actually they have no idea why they are supposed to hate them. They just do. Republicans have done such a great job demonizing this essential and heroic group, that millions of Americans, who benefit daily from the ACLU's efforts, see it as "un-American" or "anti-American." If you spend just five minutes on the ACLU's website, you can see how vital to YOUR life the ACLU has been.
From all the way back at their inception when the ACLU fought the government's attempts to arrest any American who had the audacity to criticize the government, through many critical suits to defend free speech, assembly, and privacy, YOUR life would be much worse off in a country without the ACLU. And it's not just "liberal" free speech they protect. One of their most famous cases involved protecting the rights of Nazis to demonstrate in Skokie, Illinois. (With as much support as Trump gets from modern day Nazis, you'd have to believe the ACLU would be raking in donations from Trump supporters.)
If you think people bristle at name "ACLU", try saying something positive about trial lawyers. During a recent debate between Gretchen Whitmer and Bill Schuette, Schuette accused Whitmer of being in the pockets of Michigan trial lawyers. The way he spit out the words "trial lawyers" made me think that he had just swallowed a mouthful of rotting worms. Everyone hates trial lawyers. Didn't they help that lowlife woman whose legs and genitals were severely burned steal millions of dollars from McDonalds? All they do is clog up the court system with frivolous lawsuits filed by people trying to get rich quick, right? If you're a Republican who depends upon funding from large corporations, of course that's what you would think. If you're the average American whose life is often at risk because of irresponsible corporate behavior, you'd probably think the opposite.
Protecting consumers, the environment, and civil liberties make our country better. Trial lawyers have brought suits which have led to the banning of nearly 1000 unsafe toys which were killing or maiming our children. Exxon fought the efforts of trial lawyers for over 20 years in an attempt to avoid cleaning up that massive oil spill in Alaska. General Motors decided some years ago that is was far cheaper to pay for the estimated 500 deaths that would be caused by exploding gas tanks rather than fix the gas tank defect for $8 per car. It was trial lawyers who held them to account. Almost all lawsuits filed in this country are by corporations suing each other, yet it's only lawsuits filed on behalf of people who were killed or injured by irresponsible corporate behavior that get our wrath. Why? Drug companies. Oil companies. Insurance companies. \This a virtual Hall of Fame of Republican donors … and the very groups who have most to lose when YOU are protected from their irresponsible behavior.
But don't trial lawyers donate a lot of money to Democrats? Yes. Yes they do. And that should tell you a lot about which party cares about your interests above the interests of large corporations who simply cannot police their own irresponsible actions. And it should also tell you why Republicans have spent so many resources to demonize trial lawyers.
And then there's the press. There's not enough room in this column to detail the GOP's planned and aggressive attacks on our most important defender of liberties. This is a bit ironic because they have so greatly benefitted from the First Amendment which has rightly prevented the shutdown of Fox News whose stories are rated by Politifact as "True" only 10% of the time. Let that sink in. It's only the news that riles up our fake president that gets labeled fake. Reporters attacked verbally and physically. Female reporters talked to like they were 5 year olds. False claims about the accuracy and dedication of hard working journalists. Calling the free press the "enemy of the people." This is Trump's legacy with the one institution that can keep the government honest.
So the next time you hear disparaging comments about "the ACLU," "trial lawyers," and "the press", pause a moment and reflect how much worse off YOU would be in the absence of these institutions. Then stand up for them, just as they have been standing up for you.
(Full disclosure: My son works for the Michigan Association for Justice, a group which supports the interests of trial lawyers.)

A myth usually contains a kernel of truth. But that compares with putting a drop of poison in a glass of water – it may be mostly water, but drinking it will kill you.
The "kernel of truth" this week: Greed contributed to the recent financial crash. But to call it the primary cause equates to myth. And to use such claims as an excuse for the most intrusive level of government intervention this country has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s is worse.
The whole truth: It was left-wing politicians such as Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank who used the force of government to intimidate mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, pressuring them into loaning money to credit-challenged borrowers. They got mortgages that may have matched their dreams but failed to reflect the reality of their checking accounts.
Now, Barney and friends want taxpayers to bail out them and their buddies.
Turns out, greed was the problem. But not greedy Wall-Streeters as much as Frank and his leftist pals such as U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd would like you to believe. Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, received the most from Fannie May and Freddie Mac PACs and employees – $133,900 since 1989, reports the Center for Responsive Politics Web site, opensecrets.org.
Rather than voting for the recent $700-billion bailout, members of Congress should have moved to impeach Frank, Dodd and others who caused great harm to our country. I'm very unhappy with the members of Kentucky's delegation in Washington, who at the very least, are guilty of aiding and abetting politicians looking out for their own interests rather than the taxpayers.
I recently called out Kentucky congressman Ben Chandler for his stance on getting rid of private ballots in labor-union elections – the "card check" issue. But he and fellow U.S. Reps. Ed Whitfield and Geoff Davis deserve praise for voting "no" on this bailout.
But "something" never seems to include policies that involve courageous political decisions such as cutting spending, promoting transparency and ticking off powerful politicians.
Dead silence cloaks the Senate chambers.
"Brilliant" the senators roar in unison.
The truth: history repeats itself.
Similar dynamics occurred during the 1930s.
The truth: Those policies didn't get the country back to work and prospering. Rather, they prolonged the pain – turning a recession into an economic depression. In 1933, one of every four workers remained unemployed. In 1938, one in six still couldn't find a job. Even on the verge of World War II, one in seven U.S. workers were still out of work.
Big-government types offer lots of talk but little proof to accompany claims that the New Deal's government-backed programs and experiments brought the country out of its economic malaise.
That's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Highly Specialized Investment School Program To Prime Next‑Gen of VC & PE Pros

It's getting cold now in Canada. 'Tis the season to unconsciously think in winter-related metaphors. For me, that's a wood fire: a source of security, warmth and utility.
If you subscribe to the premise that capital is the fuel that ignites and sustains the entrepreneurial flame, you'd no doubt agree that Canadian investment funds have assembled and lit an impressive stack of firewood this year. The heat is comforting.
According to CVCA's H12018 VC & PE Canadian Market Overview, YTD private equity investments rang in at $14.5B (over 288 deals), while venture capital investment in Canada continued its five year upward trajectory. "Almost $1B was invested over 166 VC deals in Q2 this year, bringing the year-to-date total VC investment to $1.7B," reports CVCA's Darrell Pinto, Interim COO. He's confident enough to doff his wool cap and down coat, even if he's keeping his socks on.
The infusion of the Canadian Government's Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative (VCCI) — the $400M to increase the availability of late-stage venture capital — is surely the truck backing into the driveway with a few cords, to ensure the house stays warm. Sure, everyone would agree that moving even more capital into the Canadian ecosystem would help further energize the innovation-based economy, that attracts VC's on both sides of our border, and drives activity in late-stage, private equity target companies.
But who will continue to stack the firewood and tend the fire? Do we have a sufficient number of trained investment professionals to sustain the flame?
If the collective goal is to grow the Canadian VC and PE ecosystem — to create a veritable bonfire — we most definitely need more. Notwithstanding our collective momentum, the well-intentioned and progressive goals of the VCCI, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem's ongoing evolution, there's a skills gap in the ecosystem that no one seems to be talking about much.
We've perhaps lost sight of a dilemma associated with an aging population and succession within the Canadian investment ecosystem. There's a lot of professionals who, like me, have seen their 55th birthday come and go and are distracted by near-term fund returns, and retirement goals — more so than raising a fund and pitching its 8‑to-10-year return objectives to prospective LPs. And for senior managers in funds, training and development of new professionals is a tremendous time burden and distraction from deal flow development, transactional oversight, fund administration, governance, portfolio and LP relationship management.
To date, nobody in Canada has developed and delivered a formal program to train early-career equity investment professionals. To ensure Canadian venture capitalists and private equity investors are respected and regarded worldwide as competent professionals, we need to ensure a minimal level of education and competency among practitioners.
We can start through the provision of essential, foundational skills for early-career investment professionals — and, as BDC Capital is doing with their GP Academy, deliver enhanced professional development for partner-level fund managers. Whether you're a newly-minted MBA seeking a role in VC or PE; have landed an analyst or associate role in a fund, are deploying your personal capital to make angel investments, are mid-career and just landed a coveted role as lead in a corporate/strategic investment department, or are a professional whose practice serves the investment industry — you should have a basic level of knowledge to meet the demands of your role, and contribute effectively to fulfilling fund or corporate investment objectives.
"CPCIS will cover a range of important topics and foundational skills for investment professionals, including: the art & science of investing, due diligence management, financial analysis, evaluating and top-grading management teams, ethical considerations in investing, structuring and negotiating term sheets, valuation models & methodologies, board governance, deal flow management, intellectual property considerations, legal issues, taxation, and leadership skills – all within a specific Canadian context."
This unaddressed skills gap has been acknowledged by CVCA member funds — many of whom responded to a survey the organization conducted in May this year. Unsurprisingly, all stakeholders want the fire to be sustained. It will die if not tended. A partnership has been now formed to address the skills and experience gap through the establishment of the Canadian Private Capital Investment School (CPCIS) — an educational and professional development program, designed and delivered by The Ivey Academy (Ivey Business School @ Western), in collaboration with the CVCA, and with input from experienced VC and PE industry practitioners. We consider the CPCIS to be an essential extension of the Venture Capital Action Plan (VCAP) and Venture Capital Catalyst Initiative (VCCI): both of which were/are designed to increase venture capacity and activity, and impact entrepreneurship and business growth, across Canada.
The CPCIS is a highly specialized program that will prepare the next generation of institutional, government, family fund managers, corporate, angel and private fund professionals for the growth of the equity investment ecosystem. We believe that if Canada wants to be a recognized world leader in innovation and growth financing, we've got to focus our collective energies on learning and development — to ensure a pool of capable, diverse and gender-balanced investment professionals who are ready to lead the sector.
CPCIS will cover a range of important topics and foundational skills for investment professionals, including: the art & science of investing, due diligence management, financial analysis, evaluating and top-grading management teams, ethical considerations in investing, structuring and negotiating term sheets, valuation models & methodologies, board governance, deal flow management, intellectual property considerations, legal issues, taxation, and leadership skills — all within a specific Canadian context.
The school will be led by experienced investment industry professionals from both the venture and private equity verticals.
Our initial program has been designed for new and emerging professionals with 0 – 3 years of experience within the VC/PE investment industry, or those who want to know more about the subject matter due to their engagement with the industry, which including startup founders/CEOs, banking and corporate finance professionals, lawyers, and accountants.
The CPCIS will delivered as an intensive, instructor-led cohort over five days, with 15 distinct courses/modules and group/team work, supplemented by informative guest speakers. Each module will be taught, where feasible, as an instructor-led combination of lecture, interactive participant engagement and dialogue, with use of the case method.
The program will provide extensive opportunity for peer networking, and casual engagement/networking with faculty. We believe that network development for early-career investment professionals is equally as important as the educational element of the program.
The perk? CVCA members will enjoy a full 25% discount on tuition. The cohort is scheduled for delivery in Fall 2019 at the Ivey Tangerine Leadership Centre (130 King West, Toronto, ON).

Greg Phipps is Faculty Director for the CPCIS at Ivey Academy and is responsible for curriculum design and program development.
Phipps is a former entrepreneur and operational executive with more than 25 years business management and investment experience. He previously founded two companies in the media/advertising services sector. The last 20 years of his career have been focused on managing venture capital investments as Director, Investment with BDC Capital and, as Managing Director, Investment at Innovacorp's venture fund. Greg has managed more than seventy equity investment transactions, in more than twenty companies, in the cloud/enterprise software (data analytics and fintech included), advanced tech, clean tech, and digital health sectors over his career.
Greg has also taught venture capital, at the Master's level, at Saint Mary's University (Halifax), and fulfilled development of education curriculum and content, for the benefit of entrepreneurs, on behalf of MaRS Discovery District (Toronto).

How The Pixel Mill is accelerating growth for Northern Ireland's game developers
We speak to interactive manager Rory Clifford about Northern Ireland Screen's initiatives to level up startup game studios.
If you travelled back to the middle of the previous century, you'd discover that more than half of British homes didn't have a bathroom. Many communities instead relied on public baths such as Belfast's Ormeau Baths built in the Victorian period.
Even if bathing is something most of us are now fortunate to do in private, it's fitting that the iconic building of the Ormeau Baths remains a vital space in the community. Since 2017, with the support of various partners – including Barclays' Eagle Labs – it has been transformed into a coworking space for tech startups based in Northern Ireland.
One of its key platforms is The Pixel Mill, started by Northern Ireland Screen, which provides free office space and funding for startup game developers. More than that, it also provides facilities and resources many budding developers might otherwise not have access to, such as mentors or workshops that get them to think about other aspects of the games business, including publishing and marketing.
"The whole point of the Pixel Mill is to provide a space where it takes one less hurdle or one less barrier for video game startups in terms of not having to worry about rent or overheads," says The Pixel Mill's interactive manager Rory Clifford. "They know they have a desk and good internet and it's there for them to access."
While COVID-19 has meant there are restrictions on the number of teams that can use the space, there are nonetheless currently six companies working out of The Pixel Mill, with around 12 working in the space within the past two years – including Level 91, which recently released arcade racer Inertial Drift.
Three of these studios are also part of Platform, The Pixel Mill's accelerator program. Besides having use of the space and facilities, which includes a boardroom for video conferencing and a Dolby Atmos suite, each company on this program has up to £60,000 in development funding to help them self-publish an original game within 12 months – going from prototyping and making a vertical slice to full production. Pre-pandemic, they would also have opportunities to make industry contacts like publishers at events like Gamescom or EGX.
"Usually small indie developers can be scrimping and saving, trying to move from one thing to the next, but when they know they have 12 months, it gives them the headspace to work on a project without having to worry about keeping the lights on or feeding themselves," Clifford explains. "That's really what we're trying to do – give people a bit of a runway."
The Pixel Mill also helps fund projects, mostly through recoupable loans but also seed funding to help other games get off the ground. This may then lead to a publishing deal before coming back for more funding. If a local developer was able to attract funding from other sources – for example, through Kickstarter – The Pixel Mill may also match that fund, essentially doubling their budget.
As funding comes from Northern Ireland's Department for the Economy, it also means The Pixel Mill has to consider the commercial viability of a project it funds, which can have different criteria rather than just being asked to produce a new hit IP.
"We'd rather see teams of two and three because we feel that it's difficult to get something off the ground as a solo developer," Clifford adds. "We also try to encourage folks to look at the market and see if they're the right fit and why they think this game is going to be successful. But we really are there to just encourage new companies and new IPs, and ones who are able to find success to try to help them grow as well."
As interactive manager, Clifford has a broader remit than just video games. He also covers VR, AR, digital media and everything else in between. For example, one of the startups he supports is a VR and AR company called Incisiv, which is creating sports content for tracking the concussion protocol in sports.
The Pixel Mill isn't exclusively for developers either, as it can also accommodate freelancers in other fields such as audio design or people who provide an ancillary service, such as accountants or lawyers – areas that are important when making a game but which startups may not necessarily be thinking about. For Clifford, it's important that they have an ecosystem that's not purely video games, as it helps broaden and build the community with different connections.
With funding from Northern Ireland Screen, The Pixel Mill is also able to employ and continue recruiting trainees who are there to fill the gaps within the industry, moving around to different projects where needed.
"We have a QA trainee who will carry out games testing for projects, so studios have the option to have their games tested quite regularly," offers Clifford as an example. "We also have a community management trainee, so they help out with organising social media but can also look at how you build a community. All of these startups are small indies. They may be artists and programmers but they don't have the headspace for business and marketing, so can we provide them with a resource that can at least get them thinking about it."
Since the support staff are trainees themselves, they're also developing skills even as they support projects, demonstrating how collaboration and support between people at The Pixel Mill is two-fold. Which is ultimately the point of this kind of environment.
"The benefit of a co-working space is that developers have a chance to meet their peers and work closely with their peers," says Clifford. "There is a lot of sharing of knowledge and resources, and we encourage that as much as we can. It's also about building relationships as well. People want to be in the games industry for a long time so it's an opportunity for them to build those kinds of peer relationships within The Pixel Mill which may last for decades.
Northern Ireland Screen's relationship with video games has evolved in the past decade. While it has been supporting the medium throughout, it has only been making a concerted effort in recent years to make video games a key pillar in its strategy. It clearly sees video games as an important industry to support and grow into a success like it has done with film, TV and animation.
"15 years ago, the animation industry was basically like the games industry now – a bunch of small established studios trying to grow," says Clifford. "The animation industry is now quite substantial. It employs a few hundred people locally and it makes content throughout the world."
It's fair to say that The Pixel Mill's journey to put Northern Ireland's games industry on the map is just getting started.

Bison Nicole Konieczny (#10) drives up and into defending Vikes guard Aleah Ashlee (#8) for the shot on Saturday, Jan. 13, at the Investors Group Athletic Centre. Photo by Joe Oczerklewicz.
This weekend, the Bison women's basketball team played in their first playoff game since 2009.
Despite falling 82-71 to the University of Alberta Pandas in Edmonton, the fact the Bisons made it to the post season is an accomplishment in itself. After years mired in obscurity, the Bisons clinched a playoff berth on Feb. 2 against the Fraser Valley Cascades in a 79-74 overtime win.
After that final buzzer went, it was a feeling of relief for Bison head coach Michele Sung.
"I always believed in this group," she said.
Making the playoffs helps inject a bit of life into this Bison program that only combined for six wins in the past three seasons.
This season, the Bisons finished in eleventh with a 9-11 record, despite starting the year off with a 0-5 record. Manitoba turned it around before the break, winning seven of their last eight games. After sweeping the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns to start off 2018, the Bisons slipped up, dropping four straight before their overtime win against the Cascades.
It was a series at home in early November against powerhouses the University of Regina Cougars that seemingly ignited the fire in Manitoba's season. After being blown out 85-48 on a Friday night, Manitoba lost 72-69 in the Saturday rematch.
"I think it was definitely a turning point and I think it goes to show on any given night any team can win. I know that's a little cliché but it's really how our league is," said Nicole Konieczny, the third-year guard who finished with 24 points in Manitoba's loss to Alberta.
Konieczny was an offensive catalyst for Manitoba all season, a highlight of her season being a 41 point performance in an 82-59 win over Lethbridge on Jan. 6. Konieczny said the support group for the Bisons was key this season.
Taylor Randall, a second-year guard who finished with 14 points, three assists, and three rebounds in the loss on Friday said it was nice to see their hard work come to fruition, but the team had confidence they could make the post season.

Q: SQL to get the dates between start date is included and end date is excluded SELECT [order id],
       pickingdate
FROM   td_order1
WHERE  sku = xyz
GROUP  BY pickingdate,
          [order id]
HAVING pickingdate >= Min(pickingdate)
       AND pickingdate <= Max(pickingdate)
ORDER  BY pickingdate

Is there anything wrong in this query?

A: What is wrong with the query is that you are using unaggregated columns in the having.  My recommendation is to use window functions:
SELECT o.*
FROM (SELECT o.*,
             MIN(pickingdate) OVER (PARTITION BY sku) as min_pd,
             MAX(pickingdate) OVER (PARTITION BY sku) as max_pd
      FROM td_order1 o
      WHERE sku = xyz
     ) o
WHERE pickingdate > min_pd and pickingdate < max_pd
ORDER BY pickingdate;

A: Modify your condition as :
pickingdate < Max(pickingdate)

to exclude end date

Sarah Kendzior Is Not Here For The Notion That Trump Wanted To Lose In 2016
With customary precision and insight, the author and pundit sliced through the theory that others may have wanted Trump to win the election, but he didn't.
By Aliza Worthington
1 year ago by Aliza Worthington
I'm not sure if Sarah Kendzior knows how funny she is, but she routinely has her co-panelists cracking up. Today it was while they were discussing the notion that has been floated by many, including columnist Frank Bruni of the New York Times, that Donald Trump wasn't actually interested in winning the 2016 election. That he was just running to lay the groundwork to make money in the future, and would be better able to profit off a loss than a win. The line that had shoulders shaking on AM Joy today was Kendzior's dead-panning that yeah, she didn't buy that.
"First off, this is Trump, and you have to imagine that in his head he's content to lose to a woman, and lose to a Clinton." You can hear the giggles in the background, but luckily Kendzior is not done and her colleagues have a chance to recover as she systematically lays out all of the reasons Trump had to want VERY BADLY to win the election. And that now that he's "won" — or more accurately, it seems, was installed — as president, she explains how he has proceeded exactly according to the M.O. of every other autocrat in the world by weakening our country's democracy and its institutions.
Honestly, I don't know how she fits as much information as she does into 60 seconds of airtime, but Kendzior either talks really fast, or has the breath control of Daveed Diggs and should audition for Hamilton. Watch especially for Elie Mystal's little mic drop moment at the end.
REID: Sarah, the reason that the tower and the Buzzfeed report that is now in such hot dispute all over Christendom is so significant, it's sort of the Frank Bruni theory of the Donald Trump run for president, that he didn't really want to BE president. Running for president was part of the long-standing marketing strategy for him to make a lot of money. He could have made up to $300 million on this tower, that he decided that he may not win. It's also in the Buzzfeed story and not in dispute that Donald Trump said, "Listen, I may not have won," right? And this has been in other reports, and, "Why should I give up all of these lucrative opportunities?" and that the challenge for Donald Trump is that he hired a bunch of people who did intend for him to win, right? That the Russians were like, "Oh, no, you're going to win," and that you had people like Stephen Bannon who were like, "We want you to win," because they all had agendas tied to him being president, when in his own mind this may have been a way for him to get rich. What do you make of that theory that the reason that he would have Cohen lie -- or that Cohen would lie because we don't know that Donald Trump made him do it, but that Cohen would lie about it is because of the fact that he was continuing to pursue this tower while running for president, I don't know, what would be the problem with people knowing that if in his own mind he had a right to do it because he might not have become president?
KENDZIOR: I don't buy this theory at all that Trump thought he wasn't going to win or he didn't want to win. First off, this is Trump and you have to imagine that in his head he's content to lose to a woman and lose to a Clinton. Second of all, his relationship with Russia goes back 30 years, as do his political ambitions. He nearly ran for president in 1988. He ran in 1996, he ran in 2000, he ran in 2012 and he ran again in 2016. That's not a political neophyte. That's somebody who's had long-term political ambitions. We also know that Trump has had ties to Russian officials and to organized crime for about 30 years and that he's been the source of various crackdowns on those crimes. For example, there's an investigation into the Taj Mahal casino by the U.S. Treasury in 2015. Trump may have been in trouble. A great way to get out of trouble is if you're the president of the United States and you can pack the courts, you can purge agencies, you can rewrite the laws so you can be immune from prosecution, as well as filling your own autocratic objectives and partnering with autocrats around the world which is what he's done. This is a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as government.

Are you thinking about starting a fitness program? Good for you! You're only five steps away from a healthier lifestyle.
Starting a fitness program may be one of the best things you can do for your health. Physical activity can reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve your balance and coordination, help you lose weight — and even improve your sleep habits and self-esteem. And there's more good news. You can start a fitness program in only five steps.
Consider your fitness goals. Are you starting a fitness program to help lose weight? Or do you have another motivation, such as preparing for a marathon? Having clear goals can help you gauge your progress and stay motivated.
Start low and progress slowly. If you're just beginning to exercise, start cautiously and progress slowly. If you have an injury or a medical condition, consult your doctor or an exercise therapist for help designing a fitness program that gradually improves your range of motion, strength and endurance.
Allow time for recovery. Many people start exercising with frenzied zeal — working out too long or too intensely — and give up when their muscles and joints become sore or injured. Plan time between sessions for your body to rest and recover.
You'll probably start with athletic shoes. Be sure to pick shoes designed for the activity you have in mind. For example, running shoes are lighter in weight than cross-training shoes, which are more supportive.
If you're planning to invest in exercise equipment, choose something that's practical, enjoyable and easy to use. You may want to try out certain types of equipment at a fitness center before investing in your own equipment.
You might consider using fitness apps for smart devices or other activity tracking devices, such as ones that can track your distance, track calories burned or monitor your heart rate.
Start slowly and build up gradually. Give yourself plenty of time to warm up and cool down with easy walking or gentle stretching. Then speed up to a pace you can continue for five to 10 minutes without getting overly tired. As your stamina improves, gradually increase the amount of time you exercise. Work your way up to 30 to 60 minutes of exercise most days of the week.
Break things up if you have to. You don't have to do all your exercise at one time, so you can weave in activity throughout your day. Shorter but more-frequent sessions have aerobic benefits, too. Exercising in short sessions a few times a day may fit into your schedule better than a single 30-minute session. Any amount of activity is better than none at all.
Be creative. Maybe your workout routine includes various activities, such as walking, bicycling or rowing. But don't stop there. Take a weekend hike with your family or spend an evening ballroom dancing. Find activities you enjoy to add to your fitness routine.
Be flexible. If you're not feeling good, give yourself permission to take a day or two off.
Retake your personal fitness assessment six weeks after you start your program and then again every few months. You may notice that you need to increase the amount of time you exercise in order to continue improving. Or you may be pleasantly surprised to find that you're exercising just the right amount to meet your fitness goals.
Starting an exercise program is an important decision. But it doesn't have to be an overwhelming one. By planning carefully and pacing yourself, you can establish a healthy habit that lasts a lifetime.

The EU healthcare sector is a major contributor to the climate crisis
Press Release posted on September 10, 2019
Contact: lloyd.evans
New report provides first-ever estimate of healthcare's global climate footprint, calls for zero emissions
If the global healthcare sector were a country, it would be the fifth-largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter on the planet, according to a new report by Health Care Without Harm in collaboration with Arup.
The GHG emissions of the global healthcare sector are equivalent to that of 514 coal-fired power plants and, as the third largest emitter, the EU healthcare sector accounts for 12% of the global healthcare climate footprint. More than half of healthcare's worldwide emissions come from the top three emitters – the EU, the USA, and China.
While vastly differing in scale, every nation's healthcare sector directly and indirectly releases greenhouse gases as it delivers care. Released today, the report Health care's climate footprint: How the health sector contributes to the global climate crisis and opportunities for action establishes the first-ever estimate of healthcare's climate footprint, including a breakdown for each EU member state.
The report shows that healthcare's global climate footprint is equivalent to 4.4% of global net emissions (2 metric gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent) and well over half of healthcare's global climate footprint comes from fossil fuel combustion.
"Health sector facilities are the operational heart of service delivery, protecting health, treating patients, and saving lives. Yet health sector facilities are also a source of carbon emissions, contributing to climate change. Places of healing should be leading the way, not contributing to the burden of disease,"
- Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General - World Health Organization
Released today (10 September) at events in London, UK, and Medellin, Colombia, the report argues for the transformation of the healthcare sector so that it is aligned with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting climate change to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
"This is a very timely deep-dive into the contribution of healthcare to climate change, demonstrating the huge fossil fuel footprint of the equipment and medicines we use on a daily basis. We have a long way to go to prevent today's convenience from causing tomorrow's tragedy."
- Dr Chris Newman, Founder - Doctors for Extinction Rebellion
The report calls for a global roadmap for Climate-smart healthcare in order to reduce emissions whilst meeting goals such as universal health coverage. On September 11, the first European Healthcare Climate Summit will take place at St. Thomas' Hospital in London, bringing together over 120 sustainable healthcare leaders, from health system CEOs and representatives from national ministries of health, to clinicians and other health professionals. It will be the first in a series of annual Summits aimed at developing such a Roadmap for the European region.
"The publication of this report comes at a crucial time for the global health and care sector. Thanks to inspirational young people like Greta Thunberg, and the Extinction Rebellion movement, it feels like more of the world has woken up to the threat of climate breakdown on our planet, and on our health. Our sector is uniquely positioned to tackle the greatest threat to health this century, with our overriding intention to "first, do no harm" giving us the moral obligation to avoid health-harming pollution caused by our activities. The report rightly highlights that immediate action is required, something that we publicly committed to in June this year, by becoming the first healthcare organisation in the UK to declare a climate emergency and deliver zero carbon care by 2040."
- Dame Jackie Daniel, Chief Executive Officer - Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The report also outlines immediate actions that stakeholders from across the health sector should take, including:
Hospitals and health systems should follow the example of thousands of hospitals already moving toward Climate-smart Healthcare via the Health Care Climate Challenge and other initiatives.
National and subnational governments should build on existing initiatives to establish action plans to decarbonise their health systems, foster resilience, and improve health outcomes.
Bilateral aid agencies, multilateral development banks, other health funding agencies and philanthropies should integrate climate-smart principles and strategies into their health aid, lending, and policy guidance for developing countries.
"Hospitals and health care systems paradoxically make a major contribution to the climate crisis, healthcare has to step up and do its part to avoid catastrophic climate change, which would be devastating to human health worldwide."
- Josh Karliner, International Director of Program and Strategy - Health Care Without Harm (and one of the lead authors of the report)
The report concludes that health promotion, disease prevention, universal health coverage, and the global climate goal of net zero emissions must become intertwined.
"The impact of these findings is that we need strong leadership, not only from governments, but the healthcare sector – who can set an example."
- Cathy van Beek, Strategic Advisor Sustainable Healthcare – Radboud University Medical Center and Chair - European Healthcare Climate Council
The report will be launched at a high-level panel event hosted and moderated by the Wellcome Trust in London today (September 10). Panellists include Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England Dr Jenny Harries OBE and Mandeep Daliwhal, Director of UNDP's HIV, Health, and Development Group, as well as representatives from WHO, NHS, and authors of the report.
For more information about the report, visit noharm.org/ClimateFootprintReport.
Reaction from the healthcare sector:
"Climate change is the biggest public health threat we have ever faced; it is also our biggest opportunity. By embedding true ecological sustainability at the heart of healthcare we will develop global and local solutions to the climate crisis that benefit our communities both now and in the future. This timely report clearly lays out our climate impact and responsibility to act."
- Dr James Szymankiewicz, GP - Combe Coastal Practice, Ilfracombe, Chair - Devon Nature Partnership, Director of Strategy and Partnerships - The Centre For Sustainable Healthcare
"There could be no greater threat to health than the climate emergency; this report confirms that the health sector itself is a major climate polluter worldwide. Healthcare workers therefore have a direct role to play in urgently reducing emissions through adopting green practices both as individual practitioners and across their organisations."
- Dr Frances Mortimer, Medical Director - The Centre For Sustainable Healthcare

Like I mentioned before, they mainly bank on the popularity of the stars. They formulate the plot, character and sets in accordance with the wish of the star. Very typically a movie like Udta Punjab, Dangal, Masaan or Aligarh comes which completely strips off the allurement of the star and formulates a memorable character, but each such character is confined to one film. Due to that we begin to wish what will be that star's next efficiency which once more brings the viewers back to the same notion of following the star and never the character. Independent motion pictures like Raman Raghav 2.0 and Gangs of Wasseypur are extraordinarily partaking movies but all of them are one-time flings.

But this is nonetheless some of the stark, realistic films to emerge from India in current times. There's no higher reminder of the alchemical magic of film than long-unseen archival footage, which may make years vanish in an instant, restoring the previous with an immediacy that's all the more vibrant as a end result of it provides a glimpse into what was thought lost. The sequel to John Krasinski's 2018 alien-invasion horror hit is nearly as nerve-racking as the first.

Stepping out of his consolation zone, he takes up the problem of writing and appearing in a black comedy while retaining the aesthetics, irony-laden dialogues and stage techniques he's recognized for. The performances, notably xvidio the theatric efficiency of Mysskin, and overly dramatic appearing of Shamna Kasim make the movie worth a watch. Queen tells the story of a shy young woman whose fiancé bails out of their marriage ceremony on the last minute.

Petropassions and Privatization in Mexico
Michael Busch November 2, 2013
NOV 2nd, 2013: Enrique Krauze has an editorial in yesterday's New York Times analyzing the resistance to all-but-a-done-deal oil reforms in Mexico, which will probably be voted through by the country's parliament later this month. It's a strange little piece. While he covers a lot of ground, illustrating in broad strokes the fight over Mexico's energy—and economic—future, the essay is most notable for what Krauze leaves out in his implicit defense of the energy privatization.
Krauze identifies three factors animating resistance to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto's proposal to opening the country's oil sector to foreign investment: the average citizen's appalling experiences with previous privatization schemes, nationalism, and fears of increased corruption should the country find itself in another oil boom, as happened in the 1970s.
On the first count, Krauze notes that "when Carlos Salinas Gotari, president from 1988 to 1994, transferred ownership of banks, television, and telephone companies from the state to private hands, the general view was that he favored his friends, with lucrative results for the new owners but not for the consumer." The general view, as it happens, is exactly correct.
During Salinas' presidency, the number of billionaires ballooned from two to twenty-four, and Carlos Slim—who took monopoly control of the country's telecommunications company—became the richest man in the world. Not to worry, Krauze assures us, "the Energy Reform is not an act of privatization. Contrary to the opposition's rhetoric, no property will be transferred to the companies involved."
Whether Krauze knows it or not, things are not that simple. National Geographic reported earlier this month that Pena Nieto's success in pushing the reforms through "may rely on a sort of sleight of hand—sophisticating accounting that would allow Mexico and the foreign oil companies to both claim they control the nation's energy reserves." Said one Mexican business expert, "it's more of an issue of semantics. There are ways you can word around definitions to achieve the same goal of booking reserves."
It hardly matters. Even if property isn't transferred, billions of dollars will be. The usual suspects, Mexico's oligarchs, have already positioned themselves to capitalize on the energy reform. According to Forbes, the country's "entrepreneurs, including Carlos Slim, have formed drilling companies to work under contract for Pemex.
The hottest spot has been in the offshore drilling business. Nowhere in the world are jack-up rigs for use in coastal waters in such high demand; shallow water drilling remains a core competency for Pemex. The leader among Mexico's indigenous offshore drillers appears to be Grupo B (controlled by Ramiro Garza Cantu), which has what's thought to be the biggest fleet of shallow-water drilling rigs in Mexican waters and has five new rigs on order at a cost of roughly $1 billion. Guillermo Vogel Hinojosa, vice chairman of Tenaris-Tamsa, has positioned himself as Mexico's primary steel pipe manufacturer.
As for Slim, his Grupo Carso provides substantial drilling services to Pemex and earlier this year inked a $415 million, seven-year contract to lease a drilling platform to Pemex. In 2011 Carso acquired 70 percent of Tobasco Oil, which drills in Colombia and also owns an 8 percent stake in Argentina's state-controlled oil company, YPF.
Krauze also fails to remind readers that then-president Salinas had tried to break up Pemex as well during the period in which he was holding a fire sale on state assets. The goal then was the same as it is now: open Mexico's energy sector to private and foreign investment. In the process, Salinas arrested the head of the oil workers' union, Joaquin Hernandez Galicia, known popularly as La Quina, on trumped up charges of murder. The notoriously corrupt union head, in this instance at least, had been guilty of nothing more than standing up to the government's plan to sell off Mexico's oil assets. As La Quina said at the time, "I'm a scoundrel, but I'm a nationalist scoundrel. I believe the property of the nation should be for the people, not for the President."
As Guillermo Gonzalez Calderoni, a top commander in Mexico's Federal Judicial Police and the man responsible for forcing La Quina's murder confession, later told New York Times reporters Julia Preston and Sam Dillon, "That guy probably committed a lot of crimes. But he didn't commit the ones that Salinas put him in jail for." For his part, Krauze added his name to an open letter arguing at the time that the arrest would help Mexico "advance, no doubt, on the road to democracy."
Flash forward to 2013. Krauze worries that the world-class corruption that defined Mexico's government in the past might be resurrected (as if it had ever died in the first place) by the specter of huge profits from expanded oil production. Too late. Again, from Forbes: "Understanding the power of the Pemex workers union to throw sand in the gears of reform, Pena Nieto has been careful not to run afoul of workers. Instead of pursuing corruption charges against powerful union boss Carlos Romero Deschamps (despite ample indications of improper indulgence), the PRI instead made him a senator." Not surprisingly, one expert notes that "The union is perfectly aligned with the proposals."
These alarming bits of information notwithstanding, Krauze rejects the opposition's stance of resistance to the reforms. Instead, he argues that it should focus its energies, despite being outside the ruling governing coalition, on "practical steps" that will help Mexico "avoid another economic fiasco: maintaining tight vigilance over contracts, ensuring the productivity and transparence of new investments, creating a fund for future development (as in Norway), monitoring potential ecological damage, restructuring and modernizing Pemex, and, most important, assuring that profits are not used to expand bureaucracy but are delivered to the Mexican people."
Shouldn't the onus for guarding against an oil boom boondoggle be on those proposing the reforms, though, and not the groups resisting them?
As Krauze notes, Pena Nieto and his congressional allies in the Partido Acción Nacional are busy frying bigger fish. Instead of convincing the nation that their privatization scheme would not open the floodgates to increased corruption and a monopoly of profits by the country's plutocrats, the government is focused on having a "theological debate about the Mexican soul" with the nearly 60 percent of the population opposed to reform.
And for good reason. Any government claims that it will be able to manage the reforms fairly and competently simply aren't credible. Past privatization efforts succeeded in enriching a select few at the expense of millions more who were left comparatively worse off. From the looks of things, the country is about to experience a repeat performance, which is why popular resistance has been so stiff. As Mexicans well know, the fix is in.

This is it folks, the end of our 2009 specials retrospective with a look back at The End Of Time Part 2. And this week, Phil & Paul are joined by the excellent Martyn Havell from the Badwilf Podcast. They remain upbeat thoughout this episode and talk about all the good things that this story....I'm sorry, that's a lie, they didn't like it then and they don't like it now. No surprises there then! Well, they do find a couple of nice things to say which usually involves Bernard Cribbins.
And in a very slow news week, Phil manages to drive away every listener the podcast has, Paul delivers the truth on what the Doctors voting habits are and how is he half the racist that Postman Pat is. Yes, it's a shocking tabloid style expose that doesn't include the words 'romp' or 'sordid'.

PARIS -- Renault has called on experienced executives to lead its operations in Europe and China as the automaker copes with the aftermath of the fall of its former leader Carlos Ghosn, the automaker said in a statement.
Renault named Philippe Buros as its new Europe boss, replacing Jean-Christophe Kugler, who is leaving the company.
Buros, who joined Renault in 1985, worked in financing and at the group's banking arm, RCI, until 2014, when he became head of the automaker's France unit, which he has led since 2014.
Ivan Segal, managing director of Portugal and Spain, will replace Buros in France. Segal worked for PSA Group and Volkswagen Group before joining Renault in 2016.
Renault said that Francois Provost will lead a newly-created regional business unit for China. Provost is currently in charge of Renault's Asia-Pacific region, which is being split to make China a standalone unit.
Provost started his career as a French government civil servant in the ministries of economy and defense. He joined Renault in 2002, working in Portugal and France, and in global marketing strategy. He has also led Renault's operations in Russia and Korea.
Renault has set a target of 550,000 annual sales in China by 2022 under the Drive the Future strategic plan.
The automaker had 216,699 sales in China in 2018, but 165,603 of those were light-commercial vehicles and cars sold by Jinbei and Huasong, part of a joint venture with Jinbei-Brilliance announced at the end of 2017. Sales of Renault vehicles -- produced and sold as part of a joint venture with Dongfeng -- were down 27 percent hurt by a lack of new models in a declining overall market.
New products expected to lift China sales this year include an electric version of the Kwid mini-crossover.
Australia, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia countries, which were previously part of the Asia-Pacific region, will be added to the automaker's Africa, Middle East and India region, which will continue to be led by Fabrice Cambolive.
Renault's South Korea unit, Renault Samsung Motors, is struggling. Sales were down 15 percent in 2018 to 84,954 units, and the factory in Busan has been bit by labor strife as workers seek a new contract. The Busan plant is facing an uncertain future, as a contract to build the Nissan Rogue SUV for export ends in September.
Cambolive joined Renault in 1992 and worked in sales and marketing in Spain, Switzerland and France before being named marketing director of Germany in 2005. He led sales and marketing in the Russia-Eurasia region, and was named CEO of Renault Brazil in 2015. He was appointed chairman of the Africa-Middle East-India region in July 2017.

50 years Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport - Part II
Posted 3 June 2019 11:33
From the landing field to the International Airport
Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport will celebrate its 50th anniversary year in 2019. Before the large fair at the home port takes place on June 15 and 16, 2019, the airport looks back to the years 1983 to 2000 in the second part of the four-part series.
After the start of the second expansion phase in 1983, in which the large runway and apron was built, it was finally 1984: The regional airfield was officially declared the airport of Paderborn / Lippstadt. To date, the airport is the home port of the region and brings its guests almost from the front door in and far away destinations worldwide.
The first flights were initially domestic German to Frankfurt, Munich and Stuttgart and from 1985 to Berlin. After the completion of a new aircraft hangar and the expansion of the parking areas, the extension of the runway to a length of 2,180 meters was finally completed in 1988. Now the airport was open for international tourism charter traffic. The first sun destinations included Palma de Mallorca and Gran Canaria.
With the reunification in 1990, the connection to the east and the airports Leipzig and Dresden were included in the flight plan. In order to best serve the numerous passengers, drafts for the construction of a new passenger building were put out to tender in an architectural competition. Already a year later, the execution began.
In October 1990 Dr. Friedrich Siebecke took over the management and succeeded Dr. Heribert Wesche. His first official acts included a reorganization of the shares and the inclusion of the city of Bielefeld as shareholder. In 1991, the company was renamed "Flughafen Paderborn / Lippstadt GmbH" and the registered office was relocated from Paderborn to Büren-Ahden. Meanwhile, passenger numbers and demand for new destinations continued to increase. In the same year the tourism charter air traffic started to Turkey and the first winter flight program to the Canary Islands was carried out.
Between 1992 and 1994, the airport invested large sums in order to expand further parts, acquire adjacent forest and arable land. These offered space for further aircraft and new winter service halls as well as additional parking spaces. With the opening of the new Terminal A and the widening of the runway to 45 meters in 1993, Paderborn / Lippstadt Airport became increasingly attractive for national and international airlines. A highlight in the mid-nineties was the stationing of a Boeing 737-400 from Air Berlin at the home port.
The Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport was now one of the five departure airports of Air Berlin in Germany. From 1995, the long-time operations manager Fritz Henze joined the management and continued the planning and construction work on the twin round halls for small aircraft and the construction of the second aircraft hangar. For the first time, a profit for the year was achieved and it gave the green light for further construction measures and the expansion of air traffic.
From 1996, Eurowings started from Paderborn-Lippstadt for the first time to the international hub at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. In 1998, the expansion of the passenger building was completed and the apron expanded. The offer was extended by further charter flights and a regular Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt. Hapag-Lloyd also stationed a Boeing 737 at the airport. A landing pad had now become an international airport.
How the new millennium was rung in with the completion of the new arrival terminal and the pier facility, you will experience in the third part of the series 50 Years Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport.
