Buy like Buffett
These 3 U.S. stocks in Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio are all undervalued according to our metrics
Susan Dziubinski 26 May, 2020 | 1:48AM
Morningstar's resident Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)/(BRK.B) specialist, Gregg Warren, noted that the behemoth has been a net seller of equities this year. True, Berkshire picked up shares of PNC Financial (PNC). But it trimmed back elsewhere in the portfolio, "all of which seemed to be more moves on the part of Todd Combs and Ted Weschler to either take some profit off the table or de-risk parts of their portfolios," says Warren.
Moreover, Warren Buffett revealed during Berkshire's virtual annual meeting that the team had sold its entire airline stake in April and has ample cash on hand. Given the market downdraft, there are plenty of bargains to be found among Berkshire's portfolio holdings. Today we're taking a closer look at three U.S.-based options among them.
American Express (AXP)
Morningstar Rating (as of May 15, 2020): 5 stars
Economic Moat Rating: Wide
Berkshire owns about 18% of American Express' stock. Amex runs a highly profitable merchant payment network and operates in three segments: global consumer services, global commercial services, and global merchant and network services.
"We believe wide-moat American Express' resilient business model and attractive valuation offers investors a margin of safety in this turbulent economic environment," says analyst Colin Plunkett in a recent analyst note. He explains that Amex, like most other companies, will struggle this year as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic. We expect a significant rebound once consumers and business travelers resume spending, he adds. We therefore don't think short-term challenges will impair the firm's wide moat nor our outlook.
Coca-Cola (KO)
Berkshire owns more than 9% of Coke's stock. The wide-moat company boasts a fortresslike balance sheet, and analyst Nicholas Johnson calls it "a high-quality play in this precarious economic environment." Of course, the firm isn't immune to the global uncertainty wrought by the coronavirus crisis.
"Despite solid first-quarter results, management opted against issuing formal guidance, and its commentary seemed to portend a pretty ugly second quarter," reports Johnson. "Nevertheless, we remain confident in the Coca-Cola system's strategic advantage and believe the right tactical competencies are in place to allow the firm to navigate disparate dynamics across its territories."
Indeed, in the longer term we expect beverages to grow as a proportion of the company's total product mix, with water and ready-to-drink coffee propelling growth. We see outsize growth for the firm's global ventures, adds Johnson. Last, we think Coke's moat trend is stable and management has been an exemplary steward of shareholder capital. Trading at 4-star levels as of this writing, Coke is undervalued.
U.S. Bancorp (USB)
Berkshire owns about 8% of U.S. Bancorp's stock. The bank is one of many high-quality financial services names trading at a discount to our fair value estimate. We think it offers investors a compelling combination of upside and quality. Trading at a 30%-plus discount to our fair value estimate, shares are undervalued in our eyes.
"U.S. Bancorp is one of the strongest and best-run regional banks we cover," argues analyst Eric Compton. "Few domestic competitors can match its operating efficiency, and for the past 15 years the bank has consistently posted returns on equity well above peers and its own cost of equity. U.S. Bancorp's exposure to moaty nonbank businesses and its consistently excellent core banking operations make us like the company's positioning for the future."

Thread: First post... Anyone know if the Sedan and touring use the same taillight?
Just picked up a 1995 525I T. I have a cracked left rear taillight. I checked the eom site as a cross reference. It showed two different part numbers for the sedan and touring, but the picture also showed two differnt parts sets included with the light. So, I'm confused. Anyone ever try a sedan rear light in their touring?
BTW: I'm a car guy. Here's my 914. It's known as the Alien.

Who say's Aliens only abduct people?
why are they advertising E34 SEDAN tallights?
"BMW Clear Tail Light Assem PAIR for ALL E34 Sedans"
Probably because the touring has different ones. ??
To answer your question, the touring and sedan lights are in fact different. Tourings are harder to find but there are several board members who have swapped their OEMs out for clears or smoked that you may be able to buy one from. Good luck!
Probably an LS1 in there, popular mod.
It's a hand full! Look for a feature in an up coming edition of Exellence magizine.

I can confirm that the Touring has different lights. All you have to do is look at the back of a Touring to see. Look around the corner and you can tell, the Touring lamp assembly "slants" a bit while the sedan it's "straight".
Tourings have different buckets of lights and they don't make clears for them. You should buy a second pair of buckets and mod them yourself.
This is the only outfit that helps you in this endeavor.
Only photo I have now. You can see the chipped light. I've only had it a week. Since I bought it I replaced the fuel sender, and the front struts. I think someone tried to sypon the gas and broke the sender with the hose.
I'll shoot some with Lake Superior in the back ground soon.
The clear lens you installed looks very nice. That is exactly the section of tail light that is broken on my touring.
I will be placing an order on that link soon!

8 Lessons to Take Away From The Big Lebowski
admin 0 Comments January 12, 2023
Released in 1998, The Big Lebowski is a Coen brothers movie starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, Julianne Moore, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and John Turturro. Bridges plays Jeff Lebowski, a middle-aged unemployed stoner slacker type known as "The Dude" who is mistaken for another older Jeff Lebowski who is known to be extremely wealthy.
Two thugs, mistaking the Dude for the older and wealthier Lebowski, break into his home looking to collect money for their boss, a porn kingpin named Jackie Treehorn. The thugs repeatedly dunk the Dude's head in the toilet to try and get him to tell them where the money is. They also quite rudely urinate on his favorite rug that sits by the front door. Realizing the Dude's lack of wealth, they correctly conclude they have the wrong Lebowski and leave.
The Dude is a simple man who likes simple things and he seeks out the other Lebowski in hopes of getting reimbursed for the rug that was ruined because of him. When the wealthy Lebowski's trophy wife is kidnapped, The Dude takes on the task of delivering a ransom payment — which his buddy Walter Sobchak (played by Goodman) decides they are going to keep for themselves.
The Big Lebowski has developed a cult following over the years and a whole religion was even developed around the philosophy of The Dude. Let's take a look at possible lessons we can learn from this movie, why the movie has such a cult following and how The Dude deals with what life throws at him.
8/8 Not Focused on Appearances
Gramercy Pictures
The Dude is clearly not focused on appearances like the older Mr. Lebowski (played by the late David Huddleston) and many people are. His clothes and appearance are not fancy. He goes to the grocery store in a housecoat. He drives his car until it's dying breath, by the end, not stressing over the fact it looks like someone gave it CPR at a junkyard just to make it run. He's not trying to impress anyone or portray himself in some way that is other than who he is. Mr. Lebowski, on the other hand, is all about appearing rich, powerful and self-made, when in reality his money came from his late wife. He's a hypocrite and a phony while the Dude keeps it real.

Incentives help Massachusetts hit Gov. Deval Patrick's solar energy goal 4 years early
Updated Mar 24, 2019; Posted May 01, 2013

By Matt Murphy
BOSTON — With the assistance of state incentives and a boom in solar installations last year, Massachusetts residents, businesses, municipalities and utilities now have the capacity to harness more than 250 megawatts of power from solar energy and Gov. Deval Patrick has achieved a 10-year goal four years early.
Patrick plans to announce the clean-energy milestone on Wednesday afternoon at the Drydock Center in South Boston when he also intends to set a new goal for the state's solar energy future. The solar power now installed in Massachusetts can generate enough electricity to power 37,000 homes for a year.
The governor's new target for solar power could also foreshadow how state energy regulators plan to address the cap on renewable energy credits for solar projects currently under review and expected to increase.
Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs Richard Sullivan told the News Service that Patrick was weighing several options for the new solar installation target, but said, "The governor has been a leader in clean energy and an aggressive leader and whatever number he chooses I'm sure will reflect that."
New Jersey has a goal of 4 gigawatts of solar capacity, while Maryland has a 1.3 gigawatt goal.
In 2007, just months after taking office, Patrick said he wanted the state to have 250 megawatts of solar capacity installed by 2017. Massachusetts had just 3 megawatts of solar capacity installed at the time.
Over the next several years, Patrick signed a number of pieces of legislation creating incentives and requirements for utilities to boost their renewable energy sources that led to a mini-boom for the solar industry. Those bills included the Green Communities Act, the Global Warming Solutions Act and the Green Jobs Act
Sullivan said the laws enacted by the Legislature between 2008 and 2010 created a "very solid environment to grow the solar industry," and the new goals "will be certainly furthering the Commonwealth's commitment to growing not only solar deployment in Massachusetts but growing the clean energy sector."
The amount of solar capacity being installed each year in Massachusetts has steadily increased since 2007, climbing from 9.64 megawatts in 2008 to 42.5 megawatts in 2011 and 135.8 megawatts in 2012, according to the Clean Energy Center.
The growth has been achieved through a number of programs incentivizing homeowners, businesses and municipalities to invest in solar energy, including the Commonwealth Solar program that provides rebates per watt of electricity produced for qualifying homeowners and businesses and the Green Communities program that distributes grants and technical assistance for cities and towns to embrace clean energy options.
The Green Communities Act also created a solar carve-out program in the state Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard allowing solar developers to earn credits that can then be sold to help finance the cost of new solar installations. Utilities are currently required to purchase at least 7 percent of their power generation from renewable sources, including almost 0.3 percent solar.
The solar carve-out program was capped by energy officials at 400 megawatts, but is now under review and in the public comment phase as regulators prepare for what happens once the cap is exceeded, possibly within a year.
"We're eager to see the solar market grow. It's brought a tremendous amount of business and jobs to Massachusetts. We're definitely committed to seeing that not crash and burn," said Dwayne Breger, director of renewable energy at the Department of Energy Resources, in a recent interview with the News Service.
Sullivan said he expected the new regulations pertaining to the solar carve-out cap to be released "very soon," adding, "We're cognizant of the fact that moving the program forward we have to provide certainty in the financing community that the incentives are all there and viable moving forward."
While renewable energy sources like solar and wind have traditionally been more expensive than fossil fuels, the high cost of energy in Massachusetts and state incentives have helped make solar more affordable. Since 2007, average installed costs in Massachusetts have decreased 35 percent, with costs under $4.50 per watt for some solar systems, according to the Clean Energy Center.
The market for wind power has been slower to develop. At the time he set his target for solar growth, Patrick also called for 2,000 megawatts of wind power to be installed by 2020. Similar to solar at the time, the state had a 3 megawatt wind power generating capacity in 2007.
"Right now we're at 100 megawatts deployed and obviously that is all on shore. In order to be able to hit the goal of 2,000 megawatts by 2020, clearly there's going to have to be deployment of megawatts offshore. But you can see how fast both have grown in a little over six years," said Sullivan, noting that Patrick had counted on Cape Wind when he set his target.
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, residential solar electricity prices dropped 28 percent in Massachusetts in 2012, the second largest decline in the country, and Massachusetts ranks ninth among states in installed solar capacity.
The SEIA would like to see DOER increase the cap on solar energy credits from 400 megawatts to at least 1 to 1.2 gigawatts.
The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center reports that in 2012 clean energy jobs in Massachusetts grew by 11.2 percent over the previous year, with nearly 5,000 clean energy firms employing more than 71,000 workers.

Kampala (Uganda) – December 7, 2018 (travelindex.com) – Seychelles former Minister for Tourism, Civil Aviation, Ports and Marine, Alain St. Ange, was invited to deliver the keynote address at yesterday"s Uganda Civil Aviation Authority's Aviation Stakeholders Breakfast meeting at the Kampala Serena Conference Centre.
Alain St. Ange captured the full house audience's attention with his off the cuff free flowing address and was applauded when he spoke about the theme for this year's Aviation week that said : Working together to ensure no country is left behind.
'Uganda and Ugandans must ensure that Uganda is not left behind' St.Ange said before he highlighted the need to have aviation and the entire tourism industry work hand in hand. He said that '… both industries are closely linked and their mutual success is dependent on each other. Both sectors need to work together to reach national target projections for passengers and visitors'.
He also underscored that both aviation and tourism need to become sustainable for long term success.
On a different note the Seychelles former Minister made everyone in the packed conference hall take notice when he told them that being one of the world's best kept secrets no longer cuts it and that Uganda, a country he had visited in similar capacities before, had what it took to shout their attractions from the roof tops and drive the message home on a daily basis. 'Visibility is a key element to promote a destination, you need to be seen to showcase your attractions every day'.
St. Ange is of course remembered in the Seychelles as the initiator and driver of a relentless marketing drive and his constant engagement with the global tourism trade and in particular the travel media, which saw the archipelago punch well above its weight as a tourism destination and led to a decade of growth when other competing destinations faltered.
St. Ange's presentation and added interaction with local media and attendees of the meeting for over an hour after the proceedings had officially concluded once again shows that Africa has some superb talent to call upon when, be it on the continent or beyond, such meetings take place and require specific insights and experience from and about Africa. St. Ange's deep knowledge from his time in both private sector and in government, besides his speaking eloquence, no doubt will see him called upon as an expert of tourism and Brand Africa.
Uganda's Works and Transport Minister Hon. Monica Ntege, in turn acknowledged and quoted in her own speech on several occasions St. Ange's key points and invited him to return to Kampala for the 2019 edition of the Pearl of Africa Tourism Expo.
Meanwhile did UCAA's Managing Director Dr. David Mpango Kakuba highlight a number of achievements the authority can look back at during the soon to end year 2018.
International airlines now serve Entebbe with scheduled flights, as do 26 non scheduled airlines. Next on Entebbe's horizon will be Israel's El Al, due to launch flights in February 2019, following the conclusion of a new Bilateral Air Services Agreement between Uganda and Israel.
He also provided passenger numbers for Entebbe, which in 2017 reached 1.620.000 compared to a measly 118.000 in 1991.
During the first 8 months of 2018 did this figure again rise by 120.000 passengers, suggesting that by year's end passenger throughput will exceed 1.8 million.
Uganda's CAA also attained the coveted ISO 9001:2015 Quality Standard as only the third regional aviation body after Kenya and Tanzania.

Sadaf Kanwal reveals her role in Balu Mahi
01:01 By Lollywood Online Balu Mahi No comments
Balu Mahi is fast making its way to our must-watch list and Sadaf Kanwal's recent disclosure is a big part of it.
In conversation with Images, when asked about her part in the upcoming film, the model said: "My role is of a fun woman who is the head of a company. She's glamorous but also blunt, for example. she'll be dressed to the nines and end up making a gaffe."
She added that her character, Sharmeen, is an authoritative businesswoman who's also 'mazaydar'.
Delving into further details of her role, Sadaf said, "She likes this man and travels with him throughout the journey [in the film]. The two share a romantic relationship and soon fall in love and my character tries to spend as much time with him as possible as the man she loves is very unpredictable and confused."
The Lux Style Award winner shared that she had a lot of memorable moments during the shoot of the film, one of them being when she shot her first scene with director Haissam Hussain.
"It was my first day at the shoot in Hunza and it was the first time I was facing Haissam and the camera, the entire team was standing in front of me, " she started.
"Haissam says to me, 'It's time for your shot, the first scene,' so I said, 'okay.' I got ready and went [to the set]. I was tensed because; it's Haissam, he's such a big director and, whether I'll remember my dialogues or not. I didn't know what'd happen because Ainy [Jaffri] is very good and she had been working [on the Balu Mahi shoot] for the past few days and this was my first experience. But when I did my scene Haissam paused and then everyone clapped," Sadaf recalled.
They were impressed by the first-timer and said she did a "really good job."
In an earlier interview the model had expressed her excitement at being a part of the project. "Many models gave the audition but I was the luckiest to be roped in. Osman Khalid Butt, Ainy Jaffri and I play lead roles in the movie. I'm quite comfortable acting in this film and I'm not nervous. I've previously done a drama serial but it's yet to go on air," she said.
Balu Mahi features Osman Khalid Butt, Ainy Jaffri, Sadaf Kanwal and a cameo appearance by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. It is set for release on February 10, 2017.


Barbara Goodson is a "lifer" in show biz. Truly in love with all aspects of this wild & crazy craft. Was aware of her mimicry skills early on in life when she imitated family members & caught on to the positive attention it gave her & the pleasure & camaraderie it gave to others. She delights in the task of putting her own stamp on a character whether it be dramatic, musical, comedic &/or in film, cartoons, v/o, nightclubs, stage, TV, etc.Stuck in a tiny woman's body has always been her challenge since she's always felt much bigger than her under 5' stature & has been recognized for her powerful vocal range playing many nasty yet amusing "bad ladies" on & off screen.She has no intention of ever retiring...& continues to dream of working with more of the 'heavy weights' & being cast in meaningful, well received & lucrative projects. Believes acting is a blessed career that can move mountains. It's not for sissies & contains a community of (mostly) evolved, concerned humans. She is proud to have had the modicum of success she has achieved & looks forward to more.

Q: SSL, Github, and Heroku -- is pushing secure? I just bought an SSL certificate for my Heroku-deployed app. Following their instructions, I downloaded the certificate and private key, saved them in server.crt and server.key files (with some RapidSSL CA deal thrown in there), and am now planning on pushing and deploying. The worry is, my github repo is public, and I feel like it's a bad idea to push my "private" keys and certificates to a public site. Sort of defeats the purpose of the SSL, right?
But how else do I get it to work without publishing this info? I'm new to SSL and coding, and I just very much do not want to throw away the security I just spent good money on because I don't understand how this all works.
Sorry if this question wasn't very code-y. Just didn't know where better to ask.
EDIT -- I'm looking at Heroku docs right now that say to add a Heroku SSL Add-On, and then just type
heroku certs:add server.crt server.key

to get heroku to pick up on the files and use the SSL Certificate. But that doesn't change the problem that I have two files in my PUBLIC repo with PRIVATE security info. Do I just add them to .gitignore or something?

A: You should not check any of the files that you created for the SSL into the source control (server.crt, server.key, etc.), nor push them to Heroku. As Heroku's documentation states, you should use the certs command line to add them once you have an SSL add on.

A: Heroku does not require you to push those two files to your repository. You can simply do heroku certs, and it will pick and upload them from your local folder. The repo isn't involved.

The other day I had the honor of taking some Family Pictures in La Jolla.
The best part of it was that it's of a returning client. I met the Nolan family last year through my sister-in-laws family. And in February of this year I had the absolute pleasure of doing their newborn pictures when baby Kennedy was born. You can view her newborn gallery right here with tons of beautiful newborn pictures!

Everyone will have a story about a nuisance call. Whether it's a pushy sales call at dinner time or a market researcher ringing as you're about to go out, these calls are at best annoying and at worst the cause of anxiety and upset. Such is the problem that the Telecoms operator Ofcom has carried out a research project to find out just how many such calls are being made, their effects and who is making them.
The results make interesting reading.
More than 1,000 people kept paper diaries for a four week period during 2013 to record the unwanted calls they received to their home landlines. They had to document the number of calls and record the type of call received whether a silent call, where there is no one on the other end, an abandoned call where the caller has given up and left a message, a recorded sales call or a call by a sales or marketing executive or another individual.
In that four week period, 82% took a nuisance call. Half of those were silent calls, 17% an abandoned call and only three out of five had a real person at the other end of the line. The average number of calls amounted to eight over the four week period or two a week. A quarter of those surveyed reported taking more than 10 during this time.
The single biggest reason for the call concerned payment protection insurance or PPI claims. Some 10% came from energy companies, another 10% were market research and 8% insurance. Other frequent callers include charities and companies offering pension rebates Most of the abandoned calls or recorded messages were from PPI claims companies.
The research by Ofcom also looked into the effects of such calls. More than 86% of those taking part in the survey considered the calls to be irritating, particularly sales calls. The most annoying category of calls was silent calls, not surprising if someone has rushed to the phone only to find no one on the other end. Interestingly those over 65 were less likely to brand the calls annoying.
Silent and abandoned calls caused the most anxiety especially for those at home during the day such as parents looking after young children, unemployed people and older people. Those in paid work were less likely to find them distressing. The time of day also affected anxiety levels. Calls before 9am or after 8pm caused the most distress.
Clearly, there is a problem but help is at hand. Ofcom has a well tried and tested complaints procedure and there are a number of services available to cut the number of calls and to screen them so that people can opt not to answer their phone. They include call blocking devices and the Telephone Preference Service.
People of whatever age should not have to put up with such calls or suffer the irritation or distress they can cause. The law is changing and those companies which do flout the regulations could easily find themselves in court as long as the public reports them.

game general - In the modern world great leaders solve their disputes, welcome to our site, I am here to tell you everything about game general Command and conquer the newest generals and perhaps the greatest long-term strategy real-time computer game,
Download game general for Android and iPhone for free
game general - The first CNC game series of course dates back to 1995 and since then the name Command and Conquer has been synonymous with what is real. Strategy means to people. This is a really common type of games and command and conquest is what he defined along with snowstorms and Warcraft 2 . You can download the game general for Android and iPhone for free from here through the link below on the Google Play and App Store platform.
A brief synopsis of game general
game general - Way Back in the Day The Generals certainly applies to the roots of the series but some surprise in leaving, as well as at the same time introduces some really new and impressive 3D graphics to the mix, and introduces three interesting new factions to squabble for what is easily top notch Real-time strategy games, general game one right out there with last year's great Age of Mythology The Generals has jagged edges and ruthless CNC fans have been scarring, a little bit of departures but still hard to deny.
game general This is not one of the strongest efforts the CNC series has ever made, it is really just a fast-paced fun game with a lot of cool things in it, lots of action and big explosions and things like that.

If you are really a fan of RTS games or are only interested in the topic in any way, you have to game general. Really your admiration for the chain of command and subjugation was never known about its policy of righteousness and the generals really no exceptions, put it by the fictional hypothesis of the United States, China and a terrorist group called the International Liberation Army or GLA is at war with each other.
At some point in the near future this might sound like a very sensitive topic this issue since the GLA is obviously middle eastern but in fact a very cool game general Kind of a second comic book and this is silly hard to imagine it's offensive, really the feelings of anyone in Same time there is no story at all the generals and it's a little unfortunate actually considering previous C&C games were story driven as well but you never really get a sense of why you are fighting any of these factions, so game general almost looks like the kind of game they go to instead of you.
You know there's kind of a really dangerous plot in the back of everything too, while game general might have a slightly more realistic look to it than from the previous CNC RTS game Red Alert -, there's still a lot of weird and really crazy fictional unit types in addition to This kind of criteria is a variety of tanks, infantry, and planes and things like that, this is certainly in the same context the previous matter and occupies its place just a kind of loose link with the realism of military operations, and if not, is there anything you know that you can download the game general for Android and iPhone for free and that It's a fun time and some of it gives you Three Factions entertainment.
A situation can easily be presented for any situation and all of them are either the coolest or the strongest of the three in the game general and they all have a lot of unique features, powerful units and a lot of great techniques that are exclusive to them, the differences between the three parties played really well the United States are mostly high-tech but their powers are as well. The most expensive in the United States such as the best air force to date and a lot of strange advanced technologies such as their combat units can spawn little small drones to help them fight or help spy on the enemies of China.
Really brute force in numbers and regardless of the most direct type and powerful units it can also produce most of them faster but but it is vulnerable to some GLA's kind of stunt technique and some more complex tactics like how the tunnel can spawn nets around the entire map, and really quickly move their forces around. G.
GLA comes across somewhat stubborn and resilient of the three and the most insidious also in game general because they use a lot of biological material Weapons and nasty things like that from the three parties gets their own brief, but as we mentioned there is no story so linked together The different tasks the same are great though They seldom simply involve eliminating everything enemies on the map and often they have something more interesting for you to do, and during these campaigns you're really messing around with all the different units and special abilities available to you One of the new things in game general is the concept of general abilities. Basically, when you fight and win battles you earn experience points that allow you to win new, whether it's new special abilities or unlocking new units and other things of that nature.
The choices you make and the choice between game general abilities really allow you to play different types of strategies, either increase one of your faction strength or just get your ace plus your actual units you gain experience when while they score kills and survive battles, the generals also take some red alert two of Cool features like the ability to protect infantry and nearly any civil structure and all kinds of things like that, and the battlefield itself usually plays a major role in the battle that I mentioned before.
In game general the generals deviate from some command and conquer and these are kind people more curious than anything else T, there were these heated discussions about the internet between you know the CNC crowd and the packs crowd talking about which game has the best interface and things like that, it's really interesting to see after all these years which are basically in game general give a nod to a stormy way Snow strong and no longer build units from like the right-hand menu You now just build them directly from a factory by first clicking on it The interface is now at the bottom of the screen as in Blizzard games you use labor units to build structures and you don't have to build them next to it.
You can build other structures pretty much anywhere and in the fog the war no longer remains exposed once it is revealed that it works now like in a snowstorm game, where you only have a line-of-sight extension for your units, so all of these things definitely fly in the face of a leadership and triumph over the conventions but it is It adds to the strategic interest of game general and made it the best game, as far as I'm concerned about some other changes from the previous thing.
I found something a bit disappointing Conquer games were known for using from full-action video They had actors like James Earl Jones and Michael Bean and Kodo Kia and give them these older people a job, but the generals don't have FMV in it at all, as mentioned there really is no story to talk About it also previous command and conquer games all you have these really glamorous really cool installation procedures even while you are waiting game general to install the hard drive file at least you look at it is great and get it informed about the game but game general only has old electronic art boring installation which takes time Really long time, but you know these are not the things that another game might complain about but CNC diehard fans like the aforementioned might be a little disappointed to find that these things happened of course the gameplay itself is what really matters, and game general definitely does happen. It is paced by a court that controls it.
Well, it moves fast and it really looks really cool particle effects. Game general The special effects like explosions and smoke look really good and they come with just as good sound effects so you really get the impression, that these different tanks and infantry and all of this are really bombing each other.
Should you download game general?
Download game general - really so game general Real quality of it like a red alert for generals. Certainly it's all about offense, you can't really defend your base well. Basic defenses won't hold up with enough strength and you can't build walls and things like that, plus you gain general points. That you know by attacking the enemy you really want to quickly mobilize your forces and get out of there and start fighting. Just download game general and enjoy immersive games.
Matches in game general tend to be quick and decisive and that's great, because it means you can know to play a handful of matches instead of playing for a long time, a drawn-out match where you know which might not end up with any kind of flattering fashion of course. You can download game general and play. If you select the quick match option, you are restricted to a resolution of 800 x 600, but otherwise you can quickly and easily find an opponent to play against, and from afar, needless to say, a lot and a lot of people will be playing the role of generals online in the foreseeable future, and all that Your stats are tracked and all this kind of packing game general ships with a trial version for global editor if you want to build your own maps.
And there is a good thing about setting up skirmishes and a lot of different maps to choose from, if you want to play game general on the computer it is the sum of walking on the normal position but turn it into cruel or brutal and you will face a much better challenge the generals have some jagged edges, one thing maybe The most worth noting is that you really need a solid system to run the game general smoothly if you have less than likely, to be a top notch system you have to slash some graphic options although it will still finish looking good, really especially when working It really heats up and when the nuclear bombs go off and pretty things like the frame rate tends to have success otherwise.
There's an occasional problem with pathfinding. Sometimes the units won't respond when they're under attack. A little weird things like that, the menus in the game look really rough around the edges given how polished the rest of the interface's appearance files are, and you know you might do that to get an impression. That these things could have been fixed with more time in game general.
But really as it is with the game general, the whole game is still definitely one of the best driving and conquering games out there. It has so far had some of the most interesting modules and missions in it, and offers a lot more strategy and depth than many of the previous commands.
The Conquer Games offered so if you were looking to command conquer the generals the good news was it was worth the wait and unless you were interested in real time strategy this is another really shining example of how far the genre has come and how classy and beautiful it turns out after all this years game general is just Lots of fun playing and really great game Command Conquer.

Norton Motorcycle History
A classic English based brand which in recent years has moved to Portland, Oregon. Norton always had a huge racing history with models like the B4, Manx, Atlas & Commander. Throughout its history Norton has battled against liquidity issues and (on occasion) been through the whole bankruptcy process, only to later start again guided by strong believers in the brand. Norton keeps on rolling today.
A brand started by James Lansdowne Norton back in 1902, Norton was known for making fast street racers and had a long series of wins to prove it. James Norton wasn't the best businessman, and in 1913 Norton filed for bankruptcy. However, a few years later James decided to star over, this time with a partner named Bob Shelley. Together they established Norton Motors Ltd.
Dan O'Donovan (who was the brother-in-law of Shelley) developed the BS 490 cc bike, which became the first production race bike.
In 1925 James Norton died, however Norton motorcycle design and production did not stop. In 1927 Norton produced the CS1 – a very successful line in the the years that followed. It was also released as a super sports roadster.
Norton had great success in the 1930 and had a huge sporting / racing name. Team manager Joe Craig was mostly responsible for this success and it helped that he had been a former rider himself. Great models during these years where the International and the Manx. The Mans was in the beginning only produced to each order separately.
The Featherbed (which the new design Manx was also known by) got a new racing frame in 1950. Designed by Rex & McCandless, it became a true race horse winning the world title in 1951. Great competitors during these days were the MV Agusta motorcycles and Gilera motorcycles.
Shortly after 1955 Norton stopped factory racing and went into a more market orientated period of existence. In 1949 the 500cc model 7 dominator was introduced, which later was combined (1952) with the strong popular frame from the Manx into the model known as the Dominator 88.
Norton became known for fine handling machines. And another great classic rolled off the line in 1962 – Dominator 650SS (still mounted in the Featherbed frame mentioned earlier). The 650SS was fast, stable and sexy (in the traditional silver color of Norton).
The Norton 650SS was followed by the Norton Atlas 750cc. However, this production bike didn't sell well because of the high price point. Norton wasn't producing enough of them to get the selling price and margins under control. Norton once again started to struggle with financial problems.
Norton changed the Norton Atlas motorcycle into the Norton Commando 750cc. Once again Norton had heads spinning with this new design and power machine. Norton upheld it's name of developing good controlling bikes (create frame work), and even with the heavier engine Commando 850 cc the vibration wasn't too bad (frame + rubber mounting system).
Norton had been integrated into the Norton Villiers Triumph group, but the whole thing went into liquidation and by 1978 the last commandos were built. Norton didn't loose the name and developed (on a super small budget) a few bikes for the police forces and a civilian bike called the 588 cc Classic along with a touring Commander.
In 1989, a few members of staff built a Norton racer that won the national British championship. This win was mostly responsible for a renewed interest in Norton. So a year later a F1 model was built by Norton (replica of the previous years race winner).
And once again Norton couldn't cash in on the renewed interest and together with financial mismanagement of the company in the 1990s the company lost huge amount of money invested though stockholders.
Briefly a plan was launched to produce a 1500cc Norton called the Nemesis but this was quickly dropped.
In 2003 Kenny Dreer bought Norton. New goals have been set by this Norton highly established specialist.

CINDY SHERMAN "PREGNANT WOMAN", 1991
Andy Warhol is arguably the most important American artist of the 20th century. In the 1950s, he was an in-demand and celebrated illustrator working for New York's toniest publications (like Harper's Bazaar) and elegant shops (such as Bonwit Teller) in addition to many smaller independent fashion companies.
Throughout the decade, Warhol received numerous awards and accolades for his illustrations - yet he found it difficult to surpass the designation of "commercial artist". It wasn't until the mid-1950s when Warhol completed a successful campaign for shoe retailer Miller & Sons, that he was finally granted widespread recognition for his renderings.
"Bird on a Fruit Branch" is emblematic of Warhol's work during the late 1950s when he established his reputation with delicate and whimsical drawings of clothes, accessories, and stylized beauties in a distinctively elegant but playful aesthetic.
The work was included in Warhol's 1957 portfolio "A Gold Book" which featured 19 offset lithographs depicting a delightful range of his most cherished subject matter.
Serving as promotional material for his illustrations, the book was mailed out to art directors around Christmas time with the intention of earning commercial projects in the new year. Although the book was not numbered/editioned, scholars, including museums such as the MoMA, estimate that 100 copies were created. Only 5 of the prints had hand-coloring. This single print is a rare find notable for its fine condition and incredibly vivid red bird.

The Cure for Dreaming
By Cat Winters
Additional formats: Paperback, Hardcover
Imprint: Amulet Books
Illustrations: 10 b/w archival illustrations
Rights: World English
Olivia Mead is a headstrong, independent girl—a suffragist—in an age that prefers its girls to be docile. It's 1900 in Oregon, and Olivia's father, concerned that she's headed for trouble, convinces a stage mesmerist to try to hypnotize the rebellion out of her. But the hypnotist, an intriguing young man named Henri Reverie, gives her a terrible gift instead: she's able to see people's true natures, manifesting as visions of darkness and goodness, while also unable to speak her true thoughts out loud. These supernatural challenges only make Olivia more determined to speak her mind, and so she's drawn into a dangerous relationship with the hypnotist and his mysterious motives, all while secretly fighting for the rights of women. Winters breathes new life into history once again with an atmospheric, vividly real story, including archival photos and art from the period throughout.
Praise for The Cure for Dreaming
"A smattering of period photos adds authenticity to this gripping, atmospheric story of mind control and self-determination."
Cat Winters is the author of In the Shadow of Blackbirds, which received three starred reviews and was a finalist for YALSA's Morris Award for debut YA fiction. She grew up near Disneyland in Southern California. She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her family.


As Stated by Broadway.com, "featuring the musical mastery of Sir Elton John, Billy Elliot shares the inspiring story of a poor, working-class boy who discovers his passion for dance as his family grapples with adversity." This show is about the drive of a young boy to fulfill his dream of becoming a dancer despite the obstacles he faces!
Billy Elliot which is indeed about a child, but would probably not be a show to bring the whole family too. This show is "littered liberally" with bad language which is often spoken by the children in the show themselves. There are also a few violent rioting scenes that might make this show unsuitable for children. On the other hand, this shows message would be a great thing for the tweens and teens of our communities to experience.

Mark had been badly beaten up while walking home one night and now he was, to say the least, feeling stressed.
Now he was plagued by intense, disproportionate anger – even at the kid riding his bike on the sidewalk, or the lady squeezing ahead of him into the ticket line at the station.
The anger was eating him up and whenever he felt angry he also felt anxious … then depressed.
Why did Mark get so angry at such trivial incidents?
The answer, it turned out, was that unconsciously he saw every infringement of rules or minor laws as a threat to himself.
In his mind, these small events were evidence of the sort of dangerous lawlessness lurking in the world that had seen him beaten up and badly injured.
So how had Mark tried to cope with feeling stressed?
He had tried to suppress them – he tried to push them out of his mind, but it hadn't worked and in fact, the harder he tried to suppress them, the more stressed and demoralised and angry he felt.
Thanks to cognitive neuroscience, we now know why Mark's strategy didn't work.
In one study, volunteers watched gruesome videos of things like animal slaughter and human surgery.
Some were asked to do what Mark had tried to do, namely suppress their emotional responses to feeling stressed by deliberately not turning away and not registering disgust in their expression, for example – these were the emotion suppressors.
Others were asked to adopt the stance of a professional while watching them; by focussing on the technique of the surgeons, for instance, as if they were going to be asked to carry out the procedure in future – these were the emotion rethinkers.
Both groups reported that they felt less emotion when compared to a control group who just watched the films, but there the similarities ended.
Around 4-5 seconds after the video began, the rethinking group's frontal lobes showed a surge of activity and the brakes were applied to key emotion centers, including in a region called the insula and also to the amygdala.
In the suppress group, on the other hand, activity in the insula and amygdala increased.
Suppressing emotions without rethinking them, as Mark had tried to do for years after his assault, increases adrenaline-linked arousal responses including raised heart rate, blood pressure and skin sweatiness.
It also makes your memory poorer, probably because suppressing an emotion requires fairly constant activity of the frontal lobes. Rethinking, on the other hand,  though hard work at first,  doesn't make the same sort of constant demands on the frontal lobes as suppression does.
Suppression has other costs, too. Because inhibition is rather a blunt instrument, and because emotions like fear, sexual arousal and anger have so many overlapping arousal "symptoms", suppressing a negative emotion almost inevitably leads to the suppression of other positive emotions, too.
People whose style it is to suppress emotions rather than reappraise them, don't share their emotions, whether positive or negative, with other people nearly as much as reappraisers do, and as a result are on average less well liked by other people. This is because we tend to trust and like people who are open and self-disclosing.
Mark learned to rethink his anger when he saw some minor rule-breaking. He learned to rethink his emotion as the fear that it actually was. And he also caught himself in his non-rational interpretation of the kid on the bike as signifying a mortal danger to himself.
Rethinking distress in this sort of way works like a side-effect-free tranquillizer, directly diminishing unpleasant feelings of fear and anger by lowering the activity in the brain regions that produce them. But it takes hard work and a lot of thinking, which can be very difficult for many people, particularly when their thoughts are clouded by the very stress they are trying to cope with.


A LOCAL security company installed free CCTV cameras and a new alarm system for Bromsgrove Blue Cross on Wednesday after bric-a-brac was stolen from the charity's shed last month.
Kind-hearted staff from Champion Security Installations reached out to Blue Cross members after seeing our story about the incident online.
At the time, the Wildmoor Lane charity sent out a Facebook appeal which asked local people to donate their unwanted goods to help replace the items that were taken.
Everything stolen was going to be sold at this year's Blue Cross summer fair, which looked set to be cancelled after the crime took place.
But thanks to the community's donations, the event will still be held this Saturday.
A spokesperson for Blue Cross said: "We have had an amazing response to the appeal since the incident, both the public and local organisations have been brilliant.
Dorian Dentith, Managing Director at Champion Security, was quick to offer his company's services, free-of-charge, when he found out about the charity's loss.

Palace of los Calatravos in Villanueva de San Carlos
Villanueva de San Carlos (Ciudad Real)GPS: 38.62200164794922, -3.9104299545288086
Village retreat for monks of Calatrava
To the South of the province, between the mountains of Calatrava and those of Puertollano, we find this town that the Ojailén River runs through. The hamlets of La Alameda and Belvis are included in its district. The latter was the where the town originated in 1184. The most notable in its urban area is the mansion of los Calatravos with regard to civil architecture, and the churches of La Candelaria and Saint Anthony, with regard to the religious buildings.
The mansion of los Calatravos served as a summer residence for the friars' retreat. It was built in the 16th century by Francisco Barreda, prior-administrator of the convent of Calatrava. It has two levels and various patios along which the rooms are distributed. In so far as the material used, it is Toledan rigging.
Inquire at the City Hall.
The parish church of Our Lady of la Candelaria is in the hamlet of la Alameda, a Baroque building that has undergone several modifications since its construction. The other church, of Saint Anthony, is more humble in terms of its materials, Toledan rigging again and brick entablature, and it has small dimensions.

WillingToBeLucky.net: Entertainment Weekly celebrates 'SKYFALL'!
Check out the GORGEOUS cover of this weeks EW! I always love the EW covers (which is why I'm so glad I subscribe) and this one is fabulous! With the release of Skyfall in the UK this Friday and the US Premiere next week, Skyfall fever has hit!
Be sure to go out and grab your copy tomorrow when it hits shelves!


Looking for a high performance LED headlamp? Whether you're an outdoorsman (or woman) navigating the dark, damp interior of a poorly lit cave or needing a soft glow to illuminate the pages of your book before you turn in for the night, the Streamlight BuckMasters Trident HP Headlamp is sure to be a handy addition to your home tool box or emergency kit.
Optimized to provide maximum output in a single reflector/LED configuration, the Trident HP Headlamp offers white C4 LED technology with three ultrabright 5mm safety green LEDs within the same reflector and is equipped with three lighting modes to best suit your needs. Choose between using the C4 LED (2,500 candela peak beam intensity with 5 hour runtime,) one green LED (32 candela peak beam intensity with 50 hour runtime) or all three green LEDs (80 candela peak bean intensity with 22 hour runtime).
Other features include a 90° tilting head, an elastic head strap and a rubber hard hat strap. Included are three AAA batteries that power the device. Like other durable Streamlight products, the Trident HP Headlamp is both IPX4 and water resistant, as well as impact resistant up to 2m. Choose between traditional yellow, or popular RealTree Hardwoods Green Camo or Blaze Camo for a little customization. This product also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
High power headlamps traditionally have a very rugged stigma, but they're not useful exclusively to the likes of Paul Bunyan. Headlamps are an affordable and convenient item to have laying in your at-home tool box or in the glove compartment of your car. Use it for recreational and day-to-day activities like walking the dog at night on a poorly lit street. When you're caught with an unexpected home or car repair, shine a little light on it with your trusty Trident HP to better assess the situation.
Have you been left standing in the dark because you didn't have a headlamp? Or maybe you've used your high performance LED for a scenario we didn't list above. Sound off in the comments below and be sure to check out the rest of our energy efficient lighting online at Energy Saving Lighting!

St Pancras to Pimlico Gardens. Part 1 – MostlyAboutBeer……..
I exit St Pancras station from its western flank and pass through the courtyard of the British Library. There is a statue by Scottish artist Eduardo Paolozzi based on a print by William Blake. The figure is of Isaac Newton sitting hunched forward over a compass in the act of either tracing or measuring. There are several images of Newton by Blake – this statue is a study of a 1795 print and was installed in 1995 – a perfect 200 years later.
This statue may not be a simple homage to Blake, though. William Blake admired Isaac Newton but was sceptical about science unravelling the mysteries of life. He was a mystic and didn't care for science casting light into the corners of his world. In the 1795 print, the background heavens are rich but the colours darken towards the subject's compass – representative of the science. Newton's body is rendered peachy and soft. Was Blake trying to point out that the pursuit of science can never live up to or fathom the beauty of god's design? Possibly. Blake was a very spiritual man and forever seeing visions of Biblical characters behind the window panes of London's streets. The face in the print also resembles Blake's own youthful portrait more than any extant portrait of Newton himself. This could be interpreted as scientific reverence just being a youthful misadventure but maybe that's reading too much into it.
The soft peachy flesh has been altered in Paolozzi's creation. Newton has virtually become a cyborg reminiscent of the Maria robot in Metropolis. The joints and intersections of the body have become perfectly geometric. The possible gall stone that Newton is perched on in the original print has transformed into a flawless rectilinear trunk that seems to have strapped the sitter's hips to it. Has Paolozzi dealt a side swipe to Blake that Blake in turn had dealt to Newton? Is the new statue saying that the study and application of science has illuminated and improved mankind? I believe so. Another effect of looking up at this statue on its high broad plinth is that the London sky fills in for the cosmos behind the subject on the original and can affect the sculpture's mood accordingly: Under a grey sky the figure seems trapped and exploited. Under a summer sky the focus is on the subject's face and the concentration thereon.
I go down Euston Road towards central London for a few hundred metres. Despite being a pathway for thousands of pedestrians, little thought has gone into their welfare with regards to road planning especially when crossing Churchway. Subconsciously, I always let a few people with a higher BMI than me get between me and the oncoming traffic. I reach Euston Square. There are two porches standing either side of the bus lanes.
Apart from the drinkers spilling out of the front being a clue, you'd never think the Euston Tap was a pub as you approach it. The building the Tap is in is an ex-lodge. It and the identical building directly opposite (that's The Cider Tap if you love cider & perry) used to be a part of a huge foundation that linked them both – the Euston Arch. It was an imposing 21 meter high structure acting as the proverbial gateway to another land – a landmark that stood for Euston train station.
The lodges policed the luggage, trade and packages entering and exiting the station. Rather than an arch, the proper architectural term is actually a propylaeum. It's an ancient Greek gatehouse that would stand at the entrance to a holy enclosure. The Acropolis in Athens boasts the most famous one. The Brandenberg Gate in Berlin is another example. They became popular as monumental buildings at the mouths of secular or trade enclosures during the industrial revolution.
The Euston Arch was built in 1837 and might yet be built again. Amazingly, most of the chunks of the original have been located on the floor of the Prescott Channel in the river Lee to the north of London. A campaign to reassemble them and reinstate the propylaeum has been launched by The Euston Arch Trust (www.eustonarch.org/). This campaign group counts Michael Palin as a patron and historian Dan Cruickshank (who actually rediscovered the fragments on a TV show in 1994) as a trustee. Were the rebuild to go ahead, I don't know how it would affect the business of either Tap. It looks like they'd both get a mammoth pillar blocking daylight and hindering access to their main entrances.
Inside, the space is a cramped crescent around the bar which virtually fills the ground floor. Under a handsome wall plate, the beers are dispensed from the brickwork. Two boards number the beers that are on – the kegged ones to the left and the cask options to the right. There is also a narrow helical staircase that goes up to a seating area and the Neanderthal toilets upstairs. With beer(s) in hand, the ascent/descent is a task worthy of the Krypton Factor and a good measure of how much alcohol you've had. If the building continues to spin once you've alighted, make that glass your last. I love this place. There are No other venues like the Euston & Cider Tap.
don't lean too far over the bannister!
Any pub that takes its beer seriously stocks Kernel either on tap or in bottle. This beer changes in recipe each time ranging around the 3% ABV mark. Table Beer is light custard in colour – looks like over-syruped lemon barley. Milky top. Aroma of grapefruit peel. On the palate the beer had a melon rind edge with a dry finish not far behind. Like most Kernel beers, it has a tingling carbonation. It's like tonic water.
It's a good choice to go for to compare how such a light ale comes across compared to Kernel's. It's a glowing clear marmalade with a patchy head. The first sip reveals a peachy softness. It's sweet and has a much gentler carbonation. The bittering does ensue but it takes a moment. It's on a delay. The lemony sweetness touches the tongue. The beer is swallowed and the bittering hop comes along about 5 seconds later. The body does come over as very light – something that didn't register with the table beer.
Dark brown/black and opaque. Micron thick light grey hop oil head. The taste is of sweet meat joint juices like Chinese spare ribs. This matures and becomes more like charcoal. The sweetened milk background endures though. The burp is of demerera sugar & sweet coffee dregs.
It's a cloudy dark orange in hue. White patchy head. Punchy citrus fruit on first taste like tangerines & the skins. I don't know what kind of beer this is. It makes it more approachable. Sumptuous is a word that fits this ale. The only bitterness is from the initial citrussy taste. There's a pithiness but that's as close as it gets to becoming dry.
I leave The Euston Tap and continue along Euston Road until I get to Euston Square Underground Station. I use it as a Subway to come out on Gower Street to the south.

Quantitative Methods for Policy Evaluation
The main challenge for policy evaluation is to establish a causal link between interventions and outcomes. The objective of this course is to introduce the main approaches used in the evaluation of public policies: randomized evaluations, natural experiments, the regression discontinuity design, selection on observables and difference-in-differences. The course presents strengths and weaknesses of each approach in terms of internal and external validity. During the theory sessions, each approach will be presented and illustrated with specific policies in the areas of labor, health, education and development economics. In the practical sessions, students themselves (with help from the instructor) replicate the results of a widely-cited published study for each evaluation approach.

Is Devil May Cry 5 on Nintendo Switch?
Curious whether Capcom's new demon-slaying title Devil May Cry 5 is on Nintendo Switch? Here's what we know.
Sam Chandler
Devil May Cry 5 is Capcom's latest entry in the long-standing Devil May Cry franchise and Nintendo Switch users are starting to wonder if the title will be coming to their hybrid console. These days it seems like most big titles are coming to the Switch, but when the console isn't listed, fans can get a bit worried. It's perfectly reasonable to ask the question, is Devil May Cry 5 coming to Nintendo Switch, so let's talk about that.
No, Devil May Cry 5 is not releasing on Nintendo Switch. As it stands, Devil May Cry 5 is only set to release across the other three major platforms: Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows 10 PC. This means players on the Nintendo Switch will have to get their demon-slaying kicks elsewhere – perhaps from Dark Souls Remastered or Doom?
However, despite the fact Devil May Cry 5 is not releasing on the Nintendo Switch right now, does not mean it will be that way forever. Numerous games have released across various platforms and have been released on the Nintendo Switch later on.
It certainly comes as a surprise given that the likes of Bayonetta 3 will be releasing exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, a series that is quite similar in style to that of Devil May Cry 5. Both games use a hack-and-slash combat style, both titles reward fast-paced and stylish use of this system, and both feature dozens of on-screen enemies for players to kill. It's not impossible for the Nintendo Switch to render these kinds of high fidelity titles it's just whether or not the developer is able to deliver a quality product in time for release.
It's an unfortunate pattern that's emerging, but if the demand is there from consumers, we could see Capcom release Devil May Cry 5 on the Nintendo Switch at some point in the future. For now though, Devil May Cry 5 is only launching on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows 10 PC.
