People were on their cellphones taking bids from afar, others were desperately eyeing the cars to see if the panels and bumper covers were in decent enough shape to make some cash at the current bidding price. Though there were only a handful of folks at this little auction, the dynamic—the subtle things people did to make sure they made a sound buying decision—was enthralling.

But ordinary folk typically don't have the means to attend high-end events like these, so we have to settle for the local auction block, with all of its police impounded "perp-mobiles," abandoned clunkers, and donated jalopies. But regardless of what kind of crap is being auctioned off, there are diamonds in the rough that can be unearthed, and as a bidder, you stand a chance of getting one for pennies on the dollar.
Age and nationality requirements. A bidding individual must be at least 18 years old to participate in government car sales. Unlike private auctions, which sometimes require a license to bid, a government car auction is generally open to the public. No special license is needed.

These programs are meant to benefit taxpayers as a whole, but could they benefit you, the individual taxpayer? Can you bag a bargain at a government auction? "GSA's goal is to maximize return to the federal government," the GSA spokesperson said. So they're not giving this stuff away. In fact, the government sets "reserves" or minimums for the most valuable property it auctions off. But judging from a wide tour of current government auctions and bids, there are still opportunities to walk away with valuable goods for a great price. Here's a look at who's selling what, where, and for how much.

Remember, you aren't allowed to drive these vehicles, but you are granted access to them prior to the auction, and getting up close can reveal all kinds of hidden maladies. Look for things like paint overspray, uneven sheet metal, compromised suspension components, undercarriage rust, and anything else that looks out of place. Interior aroma is another major thing to watch out for, so be wary of things like gasoline aromas and mildew, because even though they may dissipate eventually, there's a strong chance they represent a much larger issue.

Bitmain, one of the biggest mining chip manufacturers, has seen its initial public offering application expire, the company announced in a blog post. "Bitmain's listing application to HKex in September 2018 has reached its 6-month expiration date," the company writes.
While Bitmain says it will restart the listing application work, it does not state when it will take place. However, if Bitmain does not manage to go public, the company might be liable to return as much as $715 million to its investors, CoinDesk writes.

New Selectboard sets committee assignments
BRATTLEBORO—The new Selectboard picked committee assignments at its first full meeting in the Municipal Center on April 2.
"My goal in chairing these [Selectboard] meetings is to make sure everyone has an opportunity to speak fully," said Selectboard chair David Gartenstein.
Board duties call for members to serve on various town committees.
Gartenstein will continue serving on the Traffic Safety Committee, which oversees parking issues, parking meters, traffic ordinances, and traffic safety.
Newly elected members Kate O'Connor and David Schoales will serve on the Capital Grant Review Board. This committee reviews capital purchases that will be bought with grant funding.
Schoales will also serve on the Small Business Assistance Program committee, which awards loans to local businesses.
John Allen, who served as board member four years ago, will sit on the Police-Fire Oversight Committee, providing oversight of the $14.1 million facilities upgrade project. He will continue serving on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Oversight committee which has overseen the $32 million upgrade to the town's wastewater treatment plant.
Although the town cut the ribbon (actually toilet paper) on the treatment plant at the end of March, the committee will continue overseeing upgrades to the Spring Tree and Black Mountain pump stations.
According to Public Works Director Steve Barrett's report in the 2012 Annual Town Report, upgrades to the Spring Tree Wastewater Pump Station are ongoing and slated to wrap up in July. The department is expecting the final engineering report on the cost feasibility of eliminating the Black Mountain Pump Station and replacing it with a new gravity sewer main.
Ken Schneck will continue serving on the Rental Housing Improvement Program Loan Committee.
Town representation to the Windham Regional Commission (WRC) this year goes to O'Connor and Planning Director Rod Francis.
Town Manager Barbara Sondag asked the Selectboard to give the town's second seat, traditionally held by a board member, to Francis.
The issues covered by the WRC will require more planning expertise, she said.
In an email to board members, former Selectboard member Dora Bouboulis requested to continue serving as town representative to the WRC. Gartenstein ruled that a board member could nominate Bouboulis and the board would vote on assigning her a place. Schneck nominated and voted for Bouboulis, one to zero.
The board will hold a meeting to set goals on April 11 at 5:30 p.m. in the Selectboard Meeting Room in the Municipal Center.

barometro 092020 scaled
Live 1 year ago
International tourist numbers down 65% in first half of 2020, UNWTO Reports
International tourist arrivals plunged 93% in June when compared to 2019, with the latest data from the World Tourism Organization showing the severe impact COVID-19 has had on the sector. According to the new issue of the World Tourism Barometer from the United Nations specialized agency, international tourist arrivals dropped by 65% during the first half of the year. This represents an unprecedented decrease, as countries around the world closed their borders and introduced travel restrictions in response to the pandemic.
Over recent weeks, a growing number of destinations have started to open up again to international tourists. UNWTO reports that, as of early September, 53% of destinations had eased travel restrictions. Nevertheless, many governments remain cautious, and this latest report shows that the lockdowns introduced during the first half of the year have had a massive impact on international tourism. The sharp and sudden fall in arrivals has placed millions of jobs and businesses at risk.
Counting the economic cost
According to UNWTO, the massive drop in international travel demand over the period January-June 2020 translates into a loss of 440 million international arrivals and about US$ 460 billion in export revenues from international tourism. This is around five times the loss in international tourism receipts recorded in 2009 amid the global economic and financial crisis.
UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili said: "The latest World Tourism Barometer shows the deep impact this pandemic is having on tourism, a sector upon which millions of people depend for their livelihoods. However, safe and responsible international travel is now possible in many parts of the world, and it is imperative that governments work closely with the private sector to get global tourism moving again. Coordinated action is key."
See also 2020: Worst year in tourism history with 1 billion fewer international arrivals
All global regions hit hard
Despite the gradual reopening of many destinations since the second half of May, the anticipated improvement in international tourism numbers during the peak summer season in the Northern Hemisphere did not materialize. Europe was the second-hardest hit of all global regions, with a 66% decline in tourist arrivals in the first half of 2020. The Americas (-55%), Africa and the Middle East (both -57%) also suffered. However, Asia and the Pacific, the first region to feel the impact of COVID-19 on tourism, was the hardest hit, with a 72% fall in tourists for the six-month period.
At the sub-regional level, North-East Asia (-83%) and Southern Mediterranean Europe (-72%) suffered the largest declines. All world regions and sub-regions recorded declines of more than 50% in arrivals in January-June 2020. The contraction of international demand is also reflected in double-digit declines in international tourism expenditure among large markets. Major outbound markets such as the United States and China continue to be at a standstill, though some markets such as France and Germany have shown some improvement in June.
Looking ahead, it seems likely that reduced travel demand and consumer confidence will continue to impact results for the rest of the year. In May, UNWTO outlined three possible scenarios, pointing to declines of 58% to 78% in international tourist arrivals in 2020. Current trends through August point to a drop in demand closer to 70% (Scenario 2), especially now as some destinations re-introduce restrictions on travel.
The extension of the scenarios to 2021 point to a change in trend next year, based on the assumptions of a gradual and linear lifting of travel restrictions, the availability of a vaccine or treatment and a return of traveller confidence. Nonetheless, despite this, the return to 2019 levels in terms of tourist arrivals would take between 2½ to 4 years.

Q: When modelling a real world event by assuming it has probability p, what are we saying/assuming about how that event behaves? There are countless books on statistics, and how to apply probability-theory to the real world. But I have never really understood what we are actually doing when we model a real world phenomenon with probability theory.
If you have real world events, and say that you model the real world, and assign probabilities to those events, what are you actually saying then? If you say that the chance that the bus will be on time have probability 0.3, what are you actually saying then? Most books I read interpret this as a long term relative frequency, that is, if you observe many "independent" such situations then the limiting frequency will go to 0.3. But this is not the definition of probability, and probability theory only says that this will happen with probability 1, not that it will happen surely.(measure 0 events etc.)
I guess what I am wondering is when we use probability in statistics and the real world, what does it mean when we say that an event have probability p. If we just are concerned with mathematics this is easy, then we are just saying that the measure of that event is p. So when we model a real world situation with probability in our abstract world, we give a real world event a measure p, but what are we actually saying about the real world then?

A: This is a (good!) philosophical question not a mathematical one. In that respect it is not different from other questions related to the applicability of maths to the real world. Examples for such other questions are the physical reality of real numbers or the nature of limiting processes and infinity. And as always for those questions there will remain a certain gap which philosophy can't really close between the clearcut world of mathematics and messy reality. So do not expect final answers!
First, I suggest not to get too hung up about sets of measure zero for continuous distributions. If you are willing to accept the derivative in the concept of speed as a limit process of finite differences, you can as well focus on finite probability spaces without sets of measure zero and then take limits.
Next, you write "Most books I read interpret this as a long term relative frequency". This is a pity since there are a few more types of interpretation. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy states in their article "Interpretations of probability" among others subjective and propensity approaches. With these you do not need an infinite amount of independent replications to postulate something.
I will try to explain those two approaches in the most simple setting, the fair coin. In the subjective approach you argue that you believe (for whatever reasons) that one side of the coin is like the other, which is why you assign equal measure (of credibility) to the two events head and tails. In the propensity approach, you argue that the physical properties of the coin are such that both sides and hence both outcomes heads and tails are symmetric.
Subjective interpretations are great because you can assign probabilities to past events (What is the probability that the bus was on time yesterday?) or analyse deterministic computer experiments in a probabilistic fashion. The physical interpretation is nice because it creates a direct connection between maths and reality. In both approaches you end up with probabilities of "fifty-fifty" for the fair coin without requiring independent repetition of experiments.
Now, to answer your question:

"If you have real world events, and say that you model the real world,
  and assign probabilities to those events, what are you actually saying
  then?"

In the subjective approach you are actually saying nothing about the real world. You are only saying something about your subjective believes about the real world. In the propensity approach you postulate properties of a physical system (here: symmetry of the sides of a fair coin).

A: I think that the study of probability begins with our astonishing ability to imagine many different possible futures. Some of those futures are in some sense "likely" and some of those futures are "unlikely," but these concepts are rather vague and depend on our other astonishing ability to recall the events of the past. Depending on the accuracy of our memories, certain futures will "surprise" us if they occur and other future events will be met with a resigned attitude of "that's just what I expected."
This is all very vague and we want to find a better way to describe the "likelihood" of possible future events. So we begin to develop a measure of probability, whatever that is.
Some future events can be put to the test in a scientific way, with repeatable experiments. So I can, for example, roll dice and toss coins repeatedly to measure what happens. I can develop a theoretical approach to calculating probabilities for such events, using the idea of the number of possible outcomes. This leads to a belief in the measure of probability for certain simple types of events.
We then try to to extend our vocabulary to other kinds of events. This is where, in my opinion, probability theory starts to make some very extreme demands on our belief system. We are called to believe that non-repeatable events behave in the same way as repeatable events and we hope that our calculations that so far have been shown to be valid for repeatable events are also valid for discussing one-off events.
More deeply, we aren't really sure if the universe is deterministic or stochastic. If stochastic, the probability theory is probably a good model. If deterministic, then perhaps probability theory is not helpful.
The ancient Greeks had it both ways. The universe was governed by the gods (deterministic) but the gods were capricious and unpredictable, to the extent that they would decide the course of the future with the roll of dice (stochastic). This is where we get the phrase "it's in the lap of the gods" because they rolled their dice onto their laps...
Interestingly, even if the universe is deterministic, it may be so hard for us to asses all the variables required to predict the future that we are better off pretending that it is a deterministic universe after all.
Arthur C Clarke said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Perhaps the determinism of the gods only appears like blind chance to us...

A: As several commenters have pointed out, there are multiple interpretations of probability. In my answer, I'll focus on the subjectivist interpretation.

"If you have real world events, and say that you model the real world, and assign probabilities to those events, what are you actually saying then? If you say that the chance that the bus will be on time have probability 0.3, what are you actually saying then?"

The short answer, for the subjectivist, is that you're saying something about your personal judgments. Exactly what you're saying depends on precisely what brand of subjectivism one endorses. What's interesting, and contra what g g has said, the issues here are not purely philosophical; there are mathematical results that shed light on your question. I turn to those now.
The only place to start is with De Finetti. According to De Finetti's subjectivist theory, there is some collection $\mathcal{B}$ of events of interest. An agent is to buy and sell various bets on these events. For each $B \in \mathcal{B}$, the agent's price function $p: \mathcal{B} \to \mathbb{R}$ gives the her fair price $p(B)$ for a bet that pays \$1 if $B$ occurs and nothing otherwise. A price function is said to be coherent if there is no way to buy and sell a collection of bets with our agent such that she is guaranteed a net loss. More precisely, $p$ is coherent if there do not exist $B_1,...,B_n \in \mathcal{B}$ and real numbers $d_1,...,d_n$ such that $$\sum_{i=1}^{n} d_i (\mathbf{1}_{B_i} - p(B_i)) < 0.$$ This simple set up is enough to state the very interesting

Theorem 1. Suppose that $\mathcal{B}$ is an algebra. Then $p$ is coherent if and only if it is a finitely additive probability measure.

Back to your questions: On this interpretation probabilities are coherent price functions. To say the probability that the bus is on time is 0.3 is to say that \$0.30 is your fair price for a bet that pays \$1 if the bus is on time.
Later authors working in the subjectivist tradition extended these ideas dramatically. Perhaps the most important work here is Leonard Savage's Foundations of Statistics. For Savage, the fundamental notion is not a price function, but a qualitative preference ordering over actions. For example, you might prefer taking the bus ($f$) to walking ($g$), and we write $g \precsim f$.
More precisely, Savage postulates a set of states of the world $\mathcal{S}$ and a set of outcomes $\mathcal{O}$. Actions are functions from $\mathcal{S}$ into $\mathcal{O}$. For example, suppose $s \in \mathcal{S}$ is a state in which the bus breaks down. Then the outcome $f(s)$ of taking the bus is that you're late to work. Now, as with De Finetti's notion of coherence, Savage imposes certain normative constraints, in the form of axioms, on the ordering $\precsim$. I won't list the axioms here, but, for example, $\precsim$ should be a weak order.
To get probabilities, we proceed in two steps. First it can be shown that if $\precsim$ satisfies the Savage axioms, then there exists a unique qualitative probability $\preccurlyeq$ on events in $\mathcal{B}$, defined to be an algebra of subsets of $\mathcal{S}$. The idea behind qualitative probability is the following. First, $\precsim$ induces an order on the set of outcomes $\mathcal{O}$ by identifying outcomes $o$ with constant actions $\hat o$, i.e. $\hat o(s) = o$ for all $s \in \mathcal{S}$. Continuing our example, suppose you prefer getting to work on time $o_2$ to begin late $o_1$, so $o_1 \precsim o_2$. Now consider two events, say the event $A_1$ that the bus driver is Terry Tao and the event $A_2$ that the bus driver is not a mathematician. How can we determine which event you regard as more probable given only your preferences $\precsim$? The idea is to look at two actions $f_1$ and $f_2$, say

$f_1$ returns $o_2$ if $A_1$ occurs and $o_1$ otherwise. That is, if you perform action 1, you're on time if Tao is driving and late otherwise.
$f_2$ returns $o_2$ if $A_2$ occurs and $o_1$ otherwise. That is, if you perform action 2, you're on time if the driver isn't a mathematician and late otherwise.

Suppose $f_1 \precsim f_2$. But since you prefer being on time $o_2$ to being late $o_1$, intuitively this means that you regard $A_2$ as more probable than $A_1$, i.e. $A_1 \preccurlyeq A_2$, because it's reasonable for you to prefer the action that makes your preferred outcome more probable. Using this idea to define the relation $\preccurlyeq$ we can show

Theorem 2. Let $\mathcal{B}$ be an algebra of subsets of $\mathcal{S}$. If the preference relation $\precsim$ over actions satisfies the Savage axioms, then $\preccurlyeq$ is a qualitative probability relation on $\mathcal{B}$, i.e. for $A,B,C \in \mathcal{B}$, $\preccurlyeq$ is a weak order with $\emptyset \preccurlyeq A$ and with $A \preccurlyeq B$ iff $A \cup C \preccurlyeq B \cup C$ when $A \cap C = B \cap C = \emptyset$.

The second step is to derive numerical probabilities. For this a few technical conditions are required. But assuming these technical conditions and the Savage axioms are all satisfied, we have

Theorem 3. There exists a unique, finitely additive probability measure $\mu$ on $\mathcal{B}$ that represents $\preccurlyeq$, i.e. for all $A, B \in \mathcal{B}$ we have $A \preccurlyeq B$ if and only if $\mu(A) \leq \mu(B)$.

This provides a rather remarkable answer to your question. The numerical probability 0.3 that you assign to the event that the bus is on time is a representation (in the precise sense given above) of your personal preferences. Subjective probability in the Savage framework derives from your ordinary preference for being on time as opposed to being late.
In both the De Finetti and Savage frameworks, we start with objects that are less mysterious than probability (e.g. betting behaviors or ordinary qualitative preferences) and show that probabilities can be derived from these objects. This gives precise meaning to the that claim I made at the beginning, namely that probabilities represent your personal judgments.

A: This is probably not accepted-answer material, but I'd still like to share my perspective.

So someone threw a couple of dice and you were passing by. What is the result for the sum you would bet on?

I think of Probability Theory and my fascination for it as humans being able to describe nature without having to thoroughly understand it. We make descriptions and rectify our approximations through experience. There are things we can intuitively know to have probability $1$, which is just cause-and-effect.
That's simple. When we have uncertainty, however, we try to measure it. We can't know if the bus will be late. It may. It may not. What matters is that we don't know. Without any experience whatsoever, the best bet is just saying we have a 50/50 chance. This reflects our own perspective. The driver knows if he's coming late. We don't.
However, with enough experience, we learn to adjust the probability. If out of 10 times I've taken the bus, 3 times it has been late, then I'll adjust my perspective to saying it has a probability of coming late of $.3$, with which I can make further calculations based on logic and Mathematics in general. It's a useful tool to extrapolate from finite experience.
Remember that a simple probability $p$ implies some kind of observation. The more you see, the better you can change $p$ towards either $0$ or $1$.
It's (almost) the same thing if someone throws a couple of dice and you close your eyes and if they throw the dice and you instantly see the result. The dice already have their Physics determined. The difference is what you can approximate in your head. If you close your eyes, each die has a $p=1/6$ of taking a specific value, so you know that if you wanted to bet on a number to be the sum of the dice, you should try $7$. There are more ways of having achieved a $7$ than other sums.
Would you bet on $7$? Say you had to forcefully bet on a number. Would it be $7$? Combinatorics and our description of the dice and Physics urge us to bet on $7$, but in the end you can bet for $5$ because it's just favorite number and you wanted to.

A: A very common guess about the real world is that we are observing a sequence identical and independent random variables. this is a requirement for the Law of Large Numbers and also the Central Limit Theorem.
The price of gasoline at two different time points are certainly correlated. if it is $3 per gallon this week, it's reasonable to assume it will be similar next week. The price a year from now is less predictable.
Additionally it is hard to remove correlations in a predictable way. Probability theory tells us a sequence of measurements concentrates around the mean.  Which data point should be choose as a reference point for this mean? The price of gas today, last month or last year?
It might be possible to determine the mean over short periods of time.  Since these fluctuations are not iid we have no way to determine the price in the future.
Still we assume the past is indicative of the future and we are often -  but not always - right

A: As argued in this article, real world probabilities always arise from quantum fluctuations:

The point here is that even with all our
  simplifications, we have a plausibility argument that the
  outcome of a coin flip is truly a quantum measurement
  (really, a  Schrödinger  cat) and that the 50–50 outcome of
  a coin toss may in principle be derived from the quantum
  physics of a realistic coin toss with no reference to classical
  notions of how we must "quantify our ignorance".
  Estimates such as this one illustrate how the quantum
  nature of fluctuations in the gasses and fluids around us
  can lead to a fundamental quantum basis for probabilities
  we care about in the macroscopic world.

They go on to show that this is true even when considering the nth digit of $\pi$, the argument then is that the choice for $n$ arises from the same sort of quantum fluctuations in the brain and the randomness comes from the lack of correlation between that choice and the value of the digit of $\pi$.
So, the interpretation of real world probabilities then comes down to your favorite interpretation of quantum mechanics. E.g. in the Many World's Interpretation you assume that you have identical copies in different Worlds where the different possible outcomes of the event will be realized.

A: This goes back into the definition of counting stars with their trends of occurance in astronomy. When human minds started wamderimg about numbers, later we learned about those numbers to count the goats we have in agricultural ages. Till then it had came to this point with numerals. And now probablity comes to define the numbers from the sequences of numbers. It is the notions we have established from our theoretical assumptioms of what we call axioms that supports our imagination. Math basically agrees with every logical deductions we make from our imaginations.

Canadian Rate Hike Expected Despite Jobs Data
Canada's employment data was disappointing but arguments for a Canadian rate hike remain intact.
Marc Chandler
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Canada's employment data was disappointing. Not only did it create few overall jobs than expected, but it lost 14.2k full-time jobs. However, it seems too hasty to conclude that the Bank of Canada will not hike rates in the June/July period as previously expected. Canada created 81k jobs in the first quarter, after about 21k in the fourth quarter of 2009, when the economy expanded by 5% (quarterly annualized pace).
Canadian short-term interests rates eased a few basis points and the Canadian dollar retreated after moving above parity. While this immediate market reaction is understandable, the larger arguments for a Canadian rate hike and a strong Canadian dollar remain intact.
As BOC Governor Carney vocally pointed out, Canadian businesses do a generally poor job at capital investment and improving productivity. The consequence of this is that Canada experiences inflation typically earlier in the business cycle than the U.S. This is turn leads the central bank to raise rates. We continue to expect the BOC to hike rates before the Fed.
Canada already offers higher interest rates than the U.S. Consider that over the past month, while the U.S. two-year yield has risen 21 bp to 1.08%, Canada's 2-year yield has risen 33 bp to 1.84%.
The U.S. dollar encounters resistance in the CAD1.0080-CAD1.10 area. It probably requires a break of CAD1.0140-80 to begin shaking out the CAD longs. On the other hand, reports suggest good interest to hedge by Canadian businesses near parity. Since early February, the U.S. dollar has fallen 7.5% against the loonie, apparently discounting much good news. Near-term consolidation may be the most likely near-term scenario. If range trading does emerge, we are still more comfortable taking advantage of pullbacks in C$ to accumulate.

Thermo foil cabinets are similar to laminate, with a vinyl coating placed over a manufactured or pressed wood base. The thermo foil manufactured today is much more durable than the type that was popular in the 1980s, but there are still some trade-offs when compared to natural wood.
Thermo foil cabinets stand up well to high humidity and regular cleaning, while wood cabinets can become warped and lack luster under those same conditions. On the other hand, once a thermo foil cabinet is damaged, it loses its resistance to moisture and can start to fall apart quickly. Things like deep scratches, chips and dents, which cannot be repaired, quickly shorten the lifespan of thermo foil. Minor damage to wood, on the other hand, is simple to repair and does not shorten its useful life. In addition, when the finish of thermo foil finally does begin to wear, the cabinets cannot be refinished. Wood, on the other hand, can be stripped and re-stained or painted, giving it a second life.
Wood cabinets are heavy duty, durable and can fit into any style. They come in various choices and stains, don't disintegrate or rot, all while offering the beauty of natural wood grain.
They stand the test of time.
Wood will clean up easily.
They withstand high humidity without swelling or warping.
Wood won't easily absorb water from leaking pipes.

Marks World AIDS Day on December 1 | News | City of West Hollywood – City of West Hollywood
Elijah Lucas
Each year, the City of West Hollywood recognizes World AIDS Day. World AIDS Day originated at the 1988 United Nations World Summit of Ministers of Health on Programmes for AIDS Prevention and is held each year on December 1. Every year, United Nations agencies, governments, nonprofit organizations, community groups, and others across the globe join together to campaign around specific themes related to AIDS. World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS, to show support for people living with HIV, and to commemorate people who have passed away due to HIV/AIDS. The international theme of this year's #WorldAIDSDay is "Equalize" and the slogan is a call to action for communities to address inequalities that perpetuate the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
"The City's annual recognition of World AIDS Day is an opportunity for us to remember loved ones lost over the last four decades to AIDS, as well as to support those living with HIV," said City of West Hollywood Mayor Lauren Meister. "Too many souls have left us much too soon due to HIV and AIDS. The City will continue to support access to medical and emotional care, prevention, and treatment, and to provide resources and support for those in need as our scientific community continues to work toward the day we can all celebrate the end of suffering and loss caused by AIDS."
This year, the City of West Hollywood will recognize World AIDS Day with special events and programming, including:
The Paul Andrew Starke Warrior Awards presentation, which will take place Thursday, December 1, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. at the West Hollywood Park Aquatics and Recreation Center in the San Vicente and La Cienega Conference Rooms, located at 8750 El Tovar Place, adjacent to West Hollywood Park. Please RSVP by clicking here. The event will feature an update on the City of West Hollywood's HIV Zero Initiative from Aaron Celious, Ph.D. of the Maroon Society. The Warrior Awards are given to outstanding employees or volunteers of local agencies that offer HIV/AIDS and/or substance abuse prevention and care services. This year's honorees are:
The 24-hour electronic memorial to those lost to HIV, AIDSWatch, will be viewable on www.AIDSWatch.org beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, December 1, 2022. The AIDSWatch memorial will also be available for viewing from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the West Hollywood Library Community Meeting Room, located at 647 N. San Vicente Boulevard.
In addition to City of West Hollywood programming, the City has co-sponsored two World AIDS Day events. The Foundation for The AIDS Monument (FAM) and the Minority AIDS Project will be co-hosting FAM's second annual STORIES Circle storytelling event LOVE, LIGHT & LEGACY, for World AIDS Day. The STORIES Circle event will take place from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the future site of STORIES: The AIDS Monument in West Hollywood Park, located at 647 N. San Vicente Boulevard, next to the West Hollywood Library. It is an opportunity for storytellers – survivors, activists, caregivers, community organizers, political leaders, and those who lost loved ones – to gather in circles and share their personal stories about HIV and AIDS.
The City of West Hollywood is also co-sponsoring amfAR's screening of the film Yes I Am – The Ric Weiland Story at the Harmony Gold Theater, located at 7655 Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The film tells the story of Ric Weiland, one of the original founders of Microsoft and a somewhat unknown queer philanthropist, who donated more than $200 million during his lifetime to many non-profit organizations and the LGBT community. Proceeds from the screening will be donated to amfAR in Ric Weiland's name. amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research, is dedicated to ending the global AIDS epidemic through innovative research. Tickets are available at https://ricweiland.betterworld.org/events/yes-i-am-ric-weiland-story-scree#tickets.
The onset of the HIV/AIDS epidemic had a significant impact in West Hollywood. The disease's elevated infection rate among gay men caused a devastatingly high number of deaths in the City. The City of West Hollywood was one of the first government entities to provide social services grants to local HIV/AIDS organizations. The City of West Hollywood sponsored one of the first AIDS awareness campaigns in the country in October 1985 and the City's response to the AIDS crisis has been recognized as a model for other cities, nationally and globally.
The City of West Hollywood actively participates in the development of programs that can bring awareness about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and services to people living with HIV/AIDS. In January 2015, the City announced its vision to become an 'HIV Zero' city. The City is currently implementing its HIV Zero Strategic Initiative.

E3 2009: Who won? Who lost? Who wins a golden Ars?
Is E3 really finished? After weeks of planning and scheduling, a frenzied four days of press conferences, meetings, and demos—not including dozens of games played—we're finally done. While there still may be some coverage coming from our interviews and hands-on time with the games, this is as good a time as any to present our E3 awards.
Worst Press Conference Award: Nintendo seemed to want to tell us things we already knew. The MotionPlus is coming, and it's going to be good. Wii Fit Plus is going to be an incremental improvement to the game that won't seem to leave the charts. The system is very popular, and very profitable. While New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2 were fun announcements, both are games based on games we've already played. A Team Ninja take on Metroid with The Other M was the one thing at the show that seemed to get people excited. Nintendo stayed on message, and that's about it.
Bonus insanity: the Vitality Sensor? When Satoru Iwata claimed one day it may help people get to sleep, a very snarky member of the press behind me whispered that Nintendo was doing just fine putting people to sleep already.
Best Hardware Award: The PSP Go. It may be expensive at $250, but getting our hands on the little bugger left us impressed. A bright, clear screen, great sound, and 16GB of memory makes this quite the compelling buy, and a revitalized store filled with classic and new PSP and PSone games available at launch means that you'll never need to buy another PSP game at a store again.
Whether or not that's a good thing is open to opinion, but based on our hands-on time with the system, we're very happy with the build quality of the hardware. That analog pad may get awkward over long playing sessions, though.
Best Motion-Controller: While Microsoft and Sony's offerings may have looked neat, they're a long way off, and there was a nagging feeling that we were looking at magic tricks, not hardware that's ready for consumers. On the other hand, there were many games on the show floor that used the Wii MotionPlus, and the hardware looked and felt great.
Wii Sports Resort was amazingly precise, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 was a huge leap from last year's model, and Shigeru Miyamoto hinted that we may see MotionPlus-enabled sword fighting in the next Zelda release. It's great hardware, it's $20, and it will be out in a matter of days. This was an easy choice.
Pleasant Surprise Award: Scribblenauts! The Warner Bros. title featured a series of increasingly hard puzzles. How do you get through them? By typing in words and using objects. The gimmick is that basically everything is in the game. If you need to distract an animal, type in "steak" and feed it to them. If you need to rescue a kitten, type in "ladder" and grab the animal. If you need to reach something, type in "trampoline" and it's in there. The fun is in trying to find items the game doesn't support, or to beat each level in the shortest amount of turns.
The game had everyone on the show floor talking. If you have a Nintendo DS, this is one to watch. I wish I had the foresight to make my own video, but this one will have to do. Let's talk about how awesome this is: God fights a Kraken, and then Einstein gets in on the action.
Bored by excellence Award: No question: God of War III. I had a chance to play the game for a lengthy session during my booth tour with Sony, and it was great. Amazing, even. Of course, it was also God of War. What I mean is, you know what to expect, you'll be satisfied, you'll buy it and love it... but ultimately there wasn't much of a story to be had when it came to one of Sony's biggest games.
It's the only game at the show where I played it, shrugged, and said "Yup, that is totally badass."

Too many parents working hard to make ends meet also pay more for their children's basic necessities – including often paying twice as much for diapers as wealthier parents. Though some families take for granted their ability to leverage the tools of the new economy, such as online ordering and subscription services that save time and money, other families face barriers in access to broadband, access to credit and capital, and ability to receive packages at home – increasing their costs for household goods, including those critical to their children's health and well-being.
The challenge many families face finding affordable diapers is just one example of the many ways in which families with young children face constraints in making investments in their children's development, including high-quality care and education experiences, as discussed in a new CEA issues brief released today.
From the start of their children's lives, the high costs driven by "Surge Pricing for Diapers" strain young families' finances and jeopardize their health. Low-income parents with infants and toddlers spend 14 percent of their income on diapers alone – leaving less room to cover rent, food, or heat. Unsurprisingly, nearly one in three low-income families report that they lack the diapers they need for their babies, causing some caregivers to stretch the time between diaper changes to make their limited resources last. This pressure can lead to serious health problems for children and unimaginable stress for parents. That public health crisis is why, earlier this year, the White House challenged the private sector to employ innovative technologies and business models to help struggling families access the basic necessities they need to care for their children.
Today, we're excited to report that these innovative efforts are working – and expanding.
Since its unveiling in March, the JetCares Community Diaper Program — a collaboration between Jet.com and First Quality — has shipped nearly five million diapers to non-profits in forty-eight states. Thanks to this program, some participating non-profits have doubled the number of diapers they can distribute to low-income families with the same underlying funds . Best of all, the model has proven sustainable for the participating companies, and Jet.com launched a new tool that now allows consumers to support this cause as well.
Today, Huggies is announcing a new diaper program providing bulk shipments of diapers to National Diaper Bank Network locations at competitive prices beginning in 2017. Through "No Baby Unhugged", Huggies and its partners have donated more than 48 million diapers and wipes in 2016 alone.
Pampers built on its 10-year partnership with Feeding America to donate a total of nearly 19 million diapers and 19 million baby wipes to food banks across the country this year.
LA-based Baby2Baby is on track to distribute 5 million diapers this year to over 120 non-profit partner organizations across the country - a new record for the organization.
The Honest Company has donated 3.3 million diapers and 1 million other baby, personal care, and household products to the National Diaper Bank Network and other community partners this year.
Today the White House wants to pause to recognize the continued commitment of these organizations to closing the #DiaperGap, and their amazing progress to date.
Though the progress is encouraging, there is still more work to do to ensure that all families have access to the basics their babies need. Find out how you can get involved today.

When leaving money to a loved one with a disability or other special needs, you may be jeopardizing his or her ability to collect certain government benefits he or she depends on, such as Supplemental Security Income or Medicaid. Establishing a special needs trust is one way to protect the benefits eligibility of a loved one with special needs.
At Shore McKinley & Conger, our estate planning attorneys are experienced in establishing special needs trusts to ensure that clients' loved ones receive the assets they are entitled to without fear of losing their government benefits. If you plan to include a loved one with special needs in your estate, it is important to speak with an attorney about estate planning and special needs trusts. Servicing Stockton, CA and Sacramento, CA, contact one of our attorneys for help.
Special needs trusts are specifically intended for the benefit of beneficiaries with special needs, specifically when a beneficiary's special needs prevents him or her from managing his or her own finances.
In many cases, beneficiaries with special needs collect certain government benefits, such as Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income. Receiving an inheritance can affect a beneficiary's eligibility for such benefits programs. Establishing a special needs trust can help ensure that a beneficiary will not lose his or her government benefits.
A special needs trust is a type of trust established for a person with special needs. Special needs trusts make it possible for the beneficiary, in this case the person with special needs, to receive funds without interfering with his or her ability to collect benefits from any government programs he or she is enrolled in.
Funds in a special needs trust are controlled by a trustee and not by the beneficiary. The trustee is responsible for distributing funds on behalf of the beneficiary as needed or until the trust ends. Two of the most common types of special needs trusts that are used in estate planning include first-party trusts and third-party trusts.
First-party trusts are used to hold assets that belong to a beneficiary with special needs. These assets may be from an inheritance or something else, such as an accident settlement. A first-party trust can only be established by a parent, grandparent, or other guardian of a beneficiary with special needs.
A third-party trust is also used to hold assets belonging to a beneficiary with special needs, but may be established by any third party.
Special needs trusts have some restrictions, which should be understood when estate planning. Restrictions exist in order to protect a beneficiary with special needs from losing eligibility for certain government benefits programs, such as Supplemental Security Income or Medicaid.
One of the most significant restrictions is that trustees cannot give funds from a special needs trust directly to the beneficiary. Rather, funds must be used to buy goods for the beneficiary, such as home furnishings, recreational items, or personal care products. Funds may also be used to buy services, such as education, physical rehabilitation, or medical expenses.
For help with your estate planning, or for more information about special needs trusts, we welcome you to contact the estate planning attorneys of Shore McKinley & Conger.

Honky-tonk border town
In this case, the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The border crossing at Bwera is at the far western edge of Uganda, in the northeast of the DRC. It's up in the Ruwenzori mountains, and there's not a lot nearby. So I wasn't expecting much.
First surprise: the road on the Ugandan side is really good. The Ugandan government has been on a roadbuilding kick in recent years. To reach the border we drove south from Fort Portal to Kasese (75 km) and then east to Mpondwe by the border (36 km). The first leg took us 90 minutes, but only because we had to keep slowing down to go through villages; the road was smooth and broad all the way, clean fresh asphalt. The leg to the border was if anything even better: 36 km in forty minutes, tops. If you've travelled any distance in Central Africa you have some idea how amazing those times are.
Anyway. Bwera is a surprisingly busy border town of maybe 15,000 people. There were a lot of trucks lined up there. The formalities at the border can take some time; meanwhile, the town of Bwera stands ready to greet the hungry, thirsty, tired, lonely truck driver and deal with his various needs. Cold beer? A big-screen TV showing the latest World Cup game? Negotiable affection? Fried food on a stick? You can find it in Bwera.
Also, for some reason the town is full of motorcycles. Well, most Ugandan towns are, but these were unusually large and shiny. I have no idea what that's about.
The actual border is a loud mountain river that runs down from the Ruwenzoris to somewhere or other. (The setting is truly gorgeous. The town, umm, less so.) I didn't cross over to the Congo side, but it looked a lot quieter. (Congo runs a trade imbalance with Uganda, so more stuff is going west out of Uganda than comes back the other way.) By all accounts the road there is in much worse shape. The nearest town of any size over there is the city of Beni, which lies on the edge of the famous Ituri Forest.
Everything in town was bilingual in English in French. Okay, sometimes trilingual -- Swahili -- but the English/French thing caught my eye, because it reminded me of crossing from New England into Quebec as a kid.
(Here's a funny thing about Swahili: it's spoken all around Uganda... Kenya, Tanzania, the eastern DRC. But Ugandans don't speak it much. They learn it in school, but they prefer their ethnic languages or English. There's a class thing here, which I don't entirely understand; also, Swahili is or was the language of the army, which is significant somehow. But anyhow, don't expect a Ugandan to speak Swahili at all, never mind well.)
Bweza isn't an easy border post to man. The town only got electricity a couple of years ago, and it goes on and off a lot. There's internet, but only just barely -- that goes on and off, too. Which is a real problem if you're running Customs or border security! All that stuff has become very internet-dependent in the last decade... yes, even in Central Africa.
Here's a real-world example. A trickle of agricultural exports come out of Beni, mostly coffee and cocoa bound for distant Mombasa and the sea. These are just transiting across Uganda, so they come in sealed containers. In theory they should still get an agricultural inspection. In practice, the Ugandan customs guys just break the seal on every fifth container, check to make sure it's really coffee or cocoa inside, and then reseal it and wave it on. This works because the exporter has posted a bond guaranteeing that the container really will transit Uganda en route to Kenya.
If the internet is working, the guys at Bweza will log in the container as transit [entering Uganda]. Two or three days later, the guys at the other side of the country will log the container out as transit [exiting Uganda]. If they don't, in another day or two an alarm will go off and Ugandan Customs will call the container's owner: you have X days to locate that container and bring it, still sealed, to a port of departure or you will forfeit your bond.
It's a good system... when the internet is up. When it's not, there's a lot of tedious filling of forms and long telephone calls.
Installing a reliable, high speed internet link at the Bweza border crossing would probably cut processing time dramatically. That would be good for trade between Uganda and the DRC! But it would probably be a blow to the town of Bweza, since truckers would be more likely to move on instead of spending the night.
Mind, the town has seen ups and downs already. The region of Congo across the border is more or less peaceful now, but back in the late 1990s it was a theater of the Second Congo War. Things got very ugly then, and stayed sketchy for some years thereafter. Armed men -- military, militia, bandits, whatever -- were still wandering around the region in the early 2000s, and there's still a United Nations peacekeeping force in Beni.
Anyway, Bwera. Long drive back to Kampala tomorrow, so now I'm for bed.

Hey Doug
A great snapshot of the reality on the ground in this part of Africa. The road thing is oh-so-huge an issue; I think I'm an inch shorter because of the roads in DRC. Glad to hear you're back home now.

Tell me hoe kiswahili has helped in the social and economic development in bwera and at border of DRC. is the language tought in school the one spoken? of they speak pigin?

Anushka Sharma said, "For me it's good to know about fashion trends but at the same you can't wear something that doesn't look good on you"
Actress Anushka Sharma, who was last seen in Jab Harry Met Sejal, says she is not a slave to fashion, reports news agency IANS. The 28-year-old actress was present at an event in Mumbai on Wednesday and told IANS: "I like to dress well. I enjoy wearing good clothes but I am not a slave of fashion. I think it is important to use fashion and style as an extension of your personality." The Phillauri star also said that it is important to have an individual dressing style and that she knows what works for her and what doesn't, reports IANS.
"For me it's good to know about fashion trends but at the same you can't wear something that doesn't look good on you. My fashion sense is very chic, comfortable and simple," IANS quoted Anushka Sharma as saying.
Anushka, who is the brand ambassador for Polaroid sunglasses, also revealed that doesn't like to over accessorise her outfits, reports IANS. She added, "So, for me sunglasses are a natural way of accessorising and practical. I think it immediately lifts your looks. That is the job that accessory has meant to do."
Anushka never fails to please her fans and followers with her chic and quirky dressing style. Be it indo-western clothes in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, cute pretty dresses in Jab Harry Met Sejal or traditional ethnic ensembles in Phillauri, Anushka nailed it every time.
The actress has also been on the cover page of fashion magazines like Elle, Filmfare and Grazia India.
Anushka Sharma is prepping for Pari, her third film as producer. She will also feature in Rajkumar Hirani's biopic on actor Sanjay Dutt and in Aanand L Rai's yet-untitled film, co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif.

Brittany Murphy Died 11 Years Ago at 32: Inside Her Sudden Death That Still Confounds Hollywood
The world was shocked when actress and singer Brittany Murphy suddenly died at age 32, right before Christmas in 2009.
The young star collapsed in the bathroom of her Hollywood Hills home on Dec. 20, 2009, after battling flu-like symptoms for a few days. She cried, "Mommy, I can't catch my breath. Help me," before passing out in the arms of her mother, Sharon, and husband, Simon Monjack, her mother recalled, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Atlanta-born talent remains best-known for Clueless (1995)and 8 Mile (2002) with Eminem, but also costarred in Girl, Interrupted (1999) with Angelina Jolie, and led the romantic comedies Little Black Book (2004) and Just Married (2003), in which she starred alongside her real-life boyfriend at the time, Ashton Kutcher.
Murphy also made a splash on the music scene with DJ Paul Oakenfold via their single "Faster Kill Pussycat," which became a club hit and reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2006.
Murphy in Clueless
The coroner ruled Murphy's death an accident and the police closed the case. Yet its circumstances cast a spotlight on Monjack just months before his own death. The pair met on the set of his film White Hotel (2001), and married in May of 2007.
Alternately grief-stricken, pointed and vague when answering questions about his wife and his own history at the time, Monjack refuted reports that Murphy was addicted to prescription drugs, despite the numerous pill bottles found at the scene.
"My wife was not abusing prescription drugs that I was aware of," he told PEOPLE after her death.
Read on for the biggest burning questions lingering after her untimely passing.
How did she die?
Shortly after her death, the L.A. County coroner concluded that Murphy died as a result of pneumonia combined with anemia and "multiple drug intoxication" from prescription and over-the-counter medication.
"She was really sick with pneumonia, very anemic, and she was taking medication," Coroner Asst. Chief Ed Winter told PEOPLE at the time, "and all that combined killed her."
Winter also confirmed that no illegal drugs were found in the actress's system: "It was only prescription and over-the-counter meds," he said.
Could her death have been prevented?
According to Winter, Murphy could still be alive today had she seen a doctor sooner.
"This death could've been preventable," he said. "Murphy was planning on seeing a doctor, but she unfortunately passed away before she did. This was a case of a person with pneumonia who was anemic and was taking medication when she should've been getting medical treatment."
But her husband denied keeping Murphy from seeing a doctor. He told PEOPLE his wife "was being properly taken care of."
He claimed to think she was just battling the flu: "I had no idea she had pneumonia. I took very good care of my wife, she was on an antibiotic and she was taking cough medicine and doing all the right things," he said.
Murphy and Monjack
Did her husband die of the same causes?
Just five months after Murphy's death, and days after his last interview with PEOPLE, Murphy's mom Sharon found Monjack dead at 40 in the same bedroom her daughter had died in. His cause of death read exactly the same as his wife's — a case of pneumonia and anemia.
"It was just a tragic set of circumstances," LAPD Commander Andrew Smith told PEOPLE after Monjack's death mirroring his wife's. "It's a sad, sad case."
Just months before his death, Monjack opened up to PEOPLE about his life after losing Murphy.
"I had a life I never dreamed. I have seen the sun set on five continents. I'd trade it all for one more day with Brittany. I lost my life. She was my best friend, and she was a little girl who wanted her husband right there. What do I have left?" he reflected.
Murphy in 8 Mile
How Hollywood mourned her death
As news of her death broke, her fans, friends and costars began sharing tribute messages to the late star. One of the most heartfelt came from her ex-boyfriend and Just Married costar Ashton Kutcher.
"[Today] the world lost a little piece of sunshine. My deepest condolences go out [to] Brittany's family, her husband, & her amazing mother Sharon. See you on the other side kid," he wrote on Twitter.
Her Clueless costar Alicia Silverstone also remembered her, sharing her feelings about the connection the two had shared.
"I'm so saddened to hear this news. I loved working with Brittany. She was so talented, so warm and so sweet. I always felt connected to her as we shared a very special experience in our lives together. I feel love in my heart for her and hope she is at peace."
