Q: Use a PHP variable as part of another variable name I have a variable called $repeater, which will either be low, moderate or high.
I also have variables called...
$low_protein_feed
$moderate_protein_feed
$high_protein_feed

I want to call one of these variables depending on what the value of $repeater is.
I got as far as this...
echo "${$repeater}_protein_feed";

...which outputs moderate_protein_feed, for example. But it echoes as text, when I want it to be echoing the value of $moderate_protein_feed variable.
I feel like I'm not far off.
Thanks for any input

A: Though i advise against this sort of programming, Sometimes it is convenient to be able to have variable variable names. That is, a variable name which can be set and used dynamically. A normal variable is set with a statement such as:
you will want to use $$ to set the variable to a variable name. http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php
Test scenario:
$myvariable = "hello";
$$myvariable = "hello2";

is the same as
$hello = "hello2";

for your case:
$low_protein_feed = "test1";
$moderate_protein_feed = "test2";
$high_protein_feed = "test3";

$repeater = "low";
echo ${$repeater . "_protein_feed"};

returns test1
check out a related security article http://rgaucher.info/php-variable-variables-oh-my.html

A: let me purpose an alternative approach, one that most developers agree is better than using variable variables:
//array for the protein_feed's
    $protein_feed=array('low'=>'1','moderate'=>'2','high'=>'3');
//then to select one based on the value of $repeater
    echo $protein_feed[$repeater];

A: I think you are looking to do something like this:
<?php

// Example - though you should use objects, key -> values,
// arrays instead in my opinion.

$low_protein_feed = "Low protein";
$moderate_protein_feed = "Lots of protein";
$high_protein_feed = "high grade protein";

$types = array("low", "moderate", "high");

foreach($types as $type) {

    echo ${$type . '_protein_feed'} . " \n";

}

Output:
$ php testme.php
Low protein
Lots of protein
high grade protein

However, you should really use something like this:
$types = array("low", "moderate", "high");
$proteins=array('low'=>'1','moderate'=>'2','high'=>'3');

foreach($types as $type) {
    echo $proteins[$type];
}

More advanced design, you can use objects and declare a type of said object and use a standard type for projects.

Oral History Interview with Margaret Anne O'Connor, July 1, 1987. Interview L-0031. Southern Oral History Program Collection (#4007) in the Southern Oral History Program Collection, Southern Historical Collection, Wilson Library, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Full Text of the Excerpt
Do you see any weaknesses, any things you would have liked to have seen differently? MARGARET ANNE O'CONNOR: I served on the Women's Studies Advisory Board for, I believe, every year. I was away for one year. I Fulbrighted in Germany in '78-79, but the rest of the time, I served on that Women's Studies Board. I was occasionally impatient. I wanted more changes; I wanted more interest in course development in the different departments. Mary Turner put her emphasis in image-building, in presenting a view of Women's Studies that showed first of all that it was respectable, and sometimes, I guess I got distracted by her Southernness and sort of assumed that this was some kind of power play in one sense rather than a sincere effort to improve Women's Studies. I would ask, "Who cares whether people think well of the program or not?" Well, it matters a great deal, of course. I've come to believe that everything that Mary Turner did do, meeting with sororities and going to women's groups on campus and working with the Chancellor and being sent to alumni meetings and that sort of thing. All of this image-building was important. She did an awful lot of that, and it was quite valuable. It made a difference. It brought Women's Studies into a realm that would still be untouched. There are still members of the University who feel that whatever good feelings they have about Women's Studies simply come because one of their good friends who is the president of the Chapel Hill Historical Association, who's a leader in her church community, who's been a Chapel Hillian for thirty years because she put time and energy into it, and she, in their minds, is so closely aligned with it that they have a sense of Women's Studies that separates it, perhaps, from the bra burning, early 70's vision that would be perfectly fine with me. If that's who the national antecedents are, O.K. I think that Women's Studies has a very different heritage in Chapel Hill on our campus.
PAMELA DEAN:
So you're basically saying that her major contribution to the program was to give it a degree of respectability and legitimacy? MARGARET ANNE O'CONNOR: Visibility.
Visibility that perhaps a radical, hard-hitting approach might not have achieved. MARGARET ANNE O'CONNOR: I have to say this, that Mary Turner was much more radical and hard-hitting in what she wanted to do with the Association for Women Faculty, and there were other ways that she was working for improving the role of women on campus beyond what she got paid for and the hours that she might have felt were her responsibility in holding office hours or something like that. There was quite a bit of work for women being done. I think that, I also have to give her credit. She was the major person on our campus who worked toward the development of the Duke-UNC--they've just changed their name--at that time it was…
Women's Studies Research Center. MARGARET ANNE O'CONNOR: The Women's Studies Research Center. It's now the Duke-UNC Center for Research on Women, and that, in her last year, that's really what she helped put together. I remember, too, I'm going to put this in because I'm on that board now. I've been on it for about three years, and Anne Firor Scott from Duke, who chairs their History Department, who did chair it, is also on the board, and I remember we interviewed her when we wanted to put together this curriculum in Women's Studies. She was against it. She came from Duke, and she said, "No, I don't want to see you ghetto-ize the study of women. I think it would be a mistake." Her book on the Southern lady is absolutely standard reading for Women's History, and yet, she could say, in 1974, that it would be a mistake. But, a few years later, when the opportunity arose to put together this center, she and Bill Chaffe decided that they would team up with Jean O'Barr at Duke and put together a Women's Studies Program. It was done almost by executive fiat at that point because there was so much feeling from the newer people who had been wanting it for years but meeting the kind of resistance of someone that they respected so tremendously like Anne Scott. They couldn't do anything, but as soon as she said, "Well, O.K. I can see if we're going to have this research program, maybe there would be an advantage of having a Women's Program at Duke." As soon as she agreed to it, Duke agreed. It looked from this side of Chapel Hill Boulevard as if it was her decision, really.

Christmas wreath program honors fallen Kentucky State Police officers
Published 10:21 am Friday, December 3, 2021
By Special to The Advocate-Messenger
The Kentucky State Police (KSP) has 37 fallen officers who have died in the line of duty since 1948, and every year, the families face the holidays without their loved ones. Two women, over 600 miles apart, are continuing a tradition meant to ease the pain of the families by placing wreaths at the gravesite of fallen KSP units.
"During the holiday season, this is a meaningful way to honor those who paid the ultimate sacrifice," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "My family joins with others across the commonwealth to remember the fallen officers who gave everything to protect and serve our citizens."
The Fallen Heroes Wreath Program was started by the family of Philadelphia police officer John Pawlowski, who was killed in the line of duty on Feb. 13, 2009. Pawlowski's sister-in-law, Michelle Pawlowski, was inspired by the national 'Wreaths Across America' program. With the help of her family, they produced and placed Christmas wreaths at the final resting places of fallen law enforcement officers during the holiday season.
Palowski's inspiration has always been her brother-in-law, but through the growth of this project, she has reached countless fallen officers' families across the country.
"It means a lot to me that it's in his memory. A lot was lost that we'll never get back, and this is something we can do to remember them," said Ms. Pawlowski.
A social media post by Ms. Pawlowski about the wreath program caught the eye of Brenda Tiffany, mother of Trooper Ponder, who died in the line of duty on Sept. 13, 2015. The two women connected online and, since that moment, have worked together to provide Christmas wreaths for KSP's fallen officers.
This is the third year KSP has received Christmas wreaths for fallen officers.
"The wreath program is a visual way to remember our loved one who is unable to be with us. I remember the first wreath I received and what it did for my broken heart," said Ms. Tiffany. "I pray the families who receive a wreath feel the love poured into them and find peace knowing the fallen will never be forgotten."
The online Fallen Trooper and Officer Memorial can be found on the KSP website. To learn more or contribute to the Fallen Heroes Wreath Program, visit their website.
The mission of KSP is to promote public safety through service, integrity, and professionalism using partnerships to prevent, reduce and deter crime and the fear of crime, enhance highway safety through education and enforcement, safeguard property and protect individual rights.
Beshear: 'Our future is now. Time to move the state forward with bold investments.'

Пољопривредни комбинат Сомбор је компанија са седиштем у Сомбору.

Историјат

Пољопривредни комбинат у Сомбор је био једна од највећих радних организација у бившој СФРЈ. Комбинат је 1974. године био на 46. месту, а међу пољопривредним организацијама на 11. месту. Овај податак је доказује да је комбинат био гигант са огромним потенцијалима.
Стврање јаког комината текло је споро, али било је у токовима тадашљег привредног укрупњавања и закона о ЗУР-у(закон о удруженом раду).
Најважније прекрентице у насатнку комбината биле су:
 Година 1953. На подручју сомборске општине постоји 49 пољопривредних организација. Тај број се за десет година смањио на свега 28 организација.
 Година 1967. Потписани су споразуми и уговори о спајању 9 самосталних пољопривредних организација, то су: ПИК »Алекса Шантић« из Алексе Шантића, ПД 25. мај из Бездана, земљорадничке задруге из Бездана, Станишића, Стапара, Чонопље, Риђице, Светозара Милетића и Сомбора.(Данас све самосталне задруге и углавном приватизоване)
 Година 1968. Пољопривредно добро 25. мај из Бездана се спаја са Пољопривредно-индустријским комбинатом у Алекси Шантићу, тако да тадашњи Индустријско- пољопривредни комбинат Бачка имао тада 8 чланица.
 Година 1969. Бачкој се придружују Рибарско газдинство Бачка из Колута, Земљорадничка задруга из Телечке и пољопривредне задруге из Старе Моравице и Дорослова.
 Година 1970. Организацији приступају и ПД Граничар из Гакова, Пољопривредна станица из Сомбора и Семенско предузеће Семе из Сомбора.
 Година 1971. Житокооп из Сомбора се припаја ИПК Бачка.
 Година 1972. Удруженим средствима пољопривредних организација у саставу ИПК Бачка изграђена је Фабрика биљних уља Инус (данас уљара Сунце, засебно приватизовано предузеће). Назив организације се мења у Прехрамбени комбинат Бачка.
 Година 1973. Житокооп се припаја Задругарки у Сомбору, а Земљорадничка задруга из Старе Моравице иступа из ове сложене организације. Њој, међутим, приступају ПИК Сомбор из Сомбора, ПИК Кљајићево из Кљајићева и Земљорадничка задруга из Растине. Прехрамбени комбинат је тада имао 18 чланица.
 Година 1974. Из Прехрамбеног комбината Бачка иступа ПИК Кљајићево, а преосталих 17 чланица потписују Самоуправни споразум о удруживању у јединствену организацију ПК Сомбор.
 Година 1976. Пољопривредном комбинату Сомбор се поново припаја ПИК Кљајићево из Кљајићева, Пекар из Сомбора који се налазио у саставу ОУР Млинпек у Новом Саду, Сточарско-ветеринарски завод из Сомбора који се налазио у саставу Ветеринарског завода у Новом Саду и Кудељара Напредак из Сомбора.
 Година 1979 Званично настаје ПК Сомбор

Стара Организација Комбината ПК Сомбор

Пољопривредни комбинат Сомбор је чинило Заједничке службе и 39 основних организација удруженог рада (11 за биљну производњу, 3 за сточарску производњу, 8 за индустријску производњу, 15 за кооперацију и 2 од посебног значаја).

 Заједничке службе представљале су :

Сектор за опште послове, Сектор за робни промет, Сектор за развој, план, инвестиције и анализу, Сектор за кооперацију и Интерна банка.

 ООУР за биљну су имала производњу следећа места:
Сомбор, Алекса Шантић, Гаково, Станишић, Риђица, Чонопља, Стапар, Бездан, Светозар Милетић, Колут и Кљајићево.

 Три основне организације удруженог рада за сточарску производњу биле су : свињарство, говедарство и живинарство.

 Индустријском производњом бавили су се:
Сомболед, Сомес, Млинарство, Задругарка, Семе, Инус (после уљара Сунце), Напредак и Грађевинско-стамбена делатност.(данас засебна предузећа)

 ООУР за кооперацију имали су:

Сомбор, Бачки Брег, Бездан, Бачки Моноштор, Стапар, Чонопља, Алекса Шантић, Колут, Светозар Милетић, Станишић, Риђица, Растина, Дорослово, Телечка и Кљајићево.

 Основне организације од посебног значаја били су: Друштвени стандард и Агрозавод.

Запослени

Комбинат је некада запошљавао 5.600 људи и имао је више од 8000 коопераната, да би се данас свело на свега 43 запослена. Највећи проценат су били полуквалификовани и неквалификовани радници. Технички развој и примена модерне технологије у пољопривреди, тражили су образованог пољопривредника. Тада су усвојени споразуми о стручном образовању радника, било је обухваћено 200 до 300 радника годишње. Колико је добро финански тада стајао комбинат томе иде у прилог и то да је стипендирао стотињак стипендиста годишње, који би касније добили посао у предузећу. Полна структура запослених била је следећа: од 5.600 радника 82 одсто су мушкарци, а 18 одсто биле су жене.

Земља

ПК Сомбор је располагао са 42,536 хектара земље. Од тога су биле: оранице и баште — 35.808, воћњаци — 216, ливаде и пашњаци — 4.302, рибњаци — 287, шуме — 174, неплодно земљиште, трстика и баре — 1.749 хектара, а у приватном сектору је било 60.000 хектара обрадивих површина.

 Сточарство

Сточарство је у 1975. години произвело 38.640 хектолитара млека. Друштвени сектор је испоручио 4.100 товних јунади, а кооперација 6.412. Залучено је 43.141 прасе. Друштвени сектор је испоручио 42.385 товних свиња, а кооперација 73.915. Живинарство производи 60.000 једнодневних пилића недељно и гаји 100.000 кока носиља.

 Индустрија

Млинска индустрија је у 1975. години прерадила 33.770 тона пшенице. У млекарској индустрији, која је оспособљена за производњу сладоледа, топљених и специјалних сирева, прерађено је 14.910.250 литара млека. Кланична индустрија је за тржиште припремила 3.460 закланих говеда и 59.795 закланих свиња. У фабрици сточне хране је произведено 45.227 тона хране за стоку, док је у фабрици биљних уља прерађено 27.459 тона сунцокрета.
Млекарска индустрија могла је да преради 80.000 литара млека и да произведе 20 тона сладоледа и 4.500 килограма топљеног сира дневно. Пекара је била у могућности да произведе 18.000 килограма хлеба за 14 часова и неограничене количине белог и масног пецива и 5.000 килограма лиснатог смрзнутог теста дневно.
Кудељара је могла могућности да преради 500 тона кудељне стабљике годишње.

 Производни програм

ООУР-и за индустријску производњу ПК Сомбор је у својим производним програмима имао 27 разних врста топљених, тврдих и меких сир]]ева, млечних напитака, сладоледа, кестен пиреа и куваног жита, 60 врста сувомеснатих и кобасичарских производа и паштета, 18 типова сточне хране, 4 типа пшеничног брашна, све врсте хлеба, пецива и лиснатог смрзнутог теста као и кудељна влакна и поздер плоче.

 Друштвени стандард

У Пољопривредном комбинату Сомбор посебна пажња се посвећивала друштвеном стандарду. У комбинату је постојала основна организација удруженог рада Друштвени стандард, која је имала 56 запослених, и која бринула стандарду радника ове некада многољудне радне организације. Свакодневно се припремало чак 5.600 топлих оброка. Годишњи одмори. Осим топлих оброка Комбинат је својим радницима омогућава коришћење годишњих одмора под врло повољним условима. Тако су у 1975. години били закупљени хотелски капацитети у познатим туристичким центрима на јадранској обали у Ловрану и Водицама, и у Отешево|Отешеву на Преспанском језеру. Комбинат је учествовао у трошковима сваког радника, који је провео годишњи одмор у поменутим летовалиштима, учествовао са 50%. Томе треба додати да је на име регреса посебно сваком запосленом исплаћивана и додатна средства. Сличан је случај је био и са зимским годишњим одморима, 1976. године радници су одмор проводили на Тари и у Поречу.

Помоћ радницима

Стамбено питање, свакако, представља важан елемент друштвеног стандарда. Одвајајући средства у ту сврху, Комбинат је тада располагао са 520 станова, а давао је и кредите за адаптацију и доградњу станова који су у власништву, као и за изградњу нових породичних стамбених зграда. Посебна се пажња посвећила се радницима исцрпеним свакодневним послом и радницима чије је здравствено стање нарушено и самим тим и умањена радна способност. Сви они, о трошку Комбината, користили бањске опоравке и лечења. Комбинат је давао и помоћ за школовање и куповину уџбеника за децу радника, почев од основне и средње па све до више и високе школе.

Радничке спортске игре

Само у току 1975. родине, у оквиру Радничких спортских игара Комбината, учествовало је око 1.500 радника. Они су се у слободном времену током више месеци надметали у десет спортских дисциплина. Колико су радни људи заинтересовани за ову врсту спортских манифестација потврђује чињеница да на овогодишњим играма није учествовао ни један
активни спортиста. Овоме у прилог иде и податак да је од 39 постојећих основних организација удруженог рада своје представнике на Радничким спортским играма имало 34 ООУР-а. Такмичења су се одвијала у готово свим насељеним местима сомборске општине и постала су популарна не само међу радницима Комбината него и код осталих грађана.
За ову врсту ванредне активности својих радника Комбинат је издвајао значајна новчана средства. Средства за куповину спортске опреме и реквизита, за одржавање постојећих спортских објеката и изградњу нових обезбеђивао је комбинат'.

Рекреациони центри

У Комбинату постојала су два велика и лепо уређена рекреациона центра у Сомбору и у Алекси Шантићу. Ови спортски полигони располагали су теренима за велики и мали фудбал, рукомет, одбојку, кошарку, отвореним стрелиштем, пливачким базеном олимпијских размера и, наравно, свим пратећим објектима (свлачионицама, купатилима и сл.). За изградњу рекреационих центара и организовано спровођење рекреације радних људи, Комбинат је 1974. и 1975. године добио два највећа признања која се додељују у Војводини награду Јован Микић - Спартак. Осим тога, Комбинат је добитник и Мајске награде Покрајинског синдикалног већа, затим две дипломе ДТВ Партизан Југославије.

The year 2008 was one of wonders and calamities for China, from the success of the Olympics to the disasters of snow and earthquake to renewed trouble in Tibet. Even as it celebrated the 30th anniversary of its open door policy, China saw its overall trade cut by nearly 30%, unemployment rising up into the tens of millions, and speculation that GDP growth would fall below 6%. First quarter GDP growth figures in 2009 seemed to justify that bleak prognosis: they were down 6.1% ompared to 10.9% last year.
Certainly China has not been immune to the world's financial collapse and shows similar shocking declines to those elsewhere. GDP growth, for example, declined last year to 9% overall from nearly 13% in 2007; foreign trade was the most severely affected with annual figures falling to 17.8% growth from the average 23% growth of recent years. During the first five months of 2009 overall trade continued to shrink by 23.7%.
We should not underestimate the devastating effect of this on coastal provinces, hubs for manufacturing export. Given the relatively large proportion these provinces have of China's GDP growth (Guangdong, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang between them account for 40%), it is immediately clear how decline in foreign trade affected the overall economy. The Academy of Social Sciences recorded a closure of 670,000 businesses across China with 20 million migrant workers being put out of work. Official registered rban unemployment was 4.2% at the end of 2008. Including the loss of migrant jobs, the real unemployment figure could be as high as 9.4%.
The worst hit province has been Guangdong, which on its own accounts for nearly 12% of total national growth. Its GDP year-on-year has fallen to 5.5%, lower than the national average. Like any export-oriented region, it cannot expect to achieve its target until Western economies recover – and that is unlikely for years to come. Just as imports and exports have been falling, so has foreign direct investment; by January dropping more than 30%: for China a double whammy on both sides of the external equation.
There are internal challenges too. At the beginning of 2008 China's leaders were mostly worried about inflation and rising prices. They brought in measures to combat these by adjusting interest rates with dramatic effects. Over the year inflation came down fast, both in terms of Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI), but the government was roundly criticised for restricting credit too severely, thereby creating a domestic slowdown that was too sudden.
When the world meltdown occurred last October the Chinese government was quick to reverse interest rates, but by then the deflationary process could not be stopped. The start of 2009 saw retail sales fall off, and the spectre of recession. This had little to do with the global crisis; it was an own goal of their own.
Among other things it broke the real estate bubble with a dramatic collapse of house prices throughout the country, plummeting from a 7% growth in July last year to negative territory by the end of 2008. Some put the loss in real estate value at nearly 4 trillion RMB, equivalent to the whole of Wen Jiabao's stimulus package.
The disasters besetting China were not only economic. After a year of snow storms, earthquakes and landslides, one of China's worst ever droughts has hit the north, with almost 43% of the country's wheat affected – and the drought continues.
Naturally all the gloom and uncertainty has caused a frisson of anxiety across a generation of Chinese who have grown up assuming that economic prosperity was guaranteed. The job market for college-educated Chinese, even those with degrees from top universities, has tightened. China has 6.1 million students due to graduate this year, and another one million from last year are still looking for jobs.
About 20 million of China's migrant workers have returned home. That's about 15.3% of the 130 million migrant workers in the country. This will have a big impact on farmers, since about 40% of their income actually comes from money sent home by these migrant workers.
So by any account China is facing severe and unprecedented problems and one would have thought it would be entering the same state of despair as anywhere else on the planet. By contrast with the gloomy West, however, China has overcome the shock of 2008; strangely everybody seems optimistic.
Why? First, there is strong, confident leadership from the top. There has been none of the hysterical panic that we have seen in some Western Governments. In Hong Kong one week last November the stock markets were crashing and the mood of despair that had overtaken the wider world was tangible. That same week Prime Minister Wen Jiabao was in Moscow, dealing with Putin on the one hand and Europe on the other. But he found the time to oversee a cut in interest rates back home and send off a ten point plan to assist Hong Kong. At Davos, he castigated the Western powers for irresponsibility in not better regulating the global financial system. During the same trip he travelled to Great Britain and gave a speech at Cambridge University.
The press focused on the student who threw a shoe at him – but the content of his speech was much more interesting. It was the first time that I have heard a Chinese leader describe China as a great power. Usually China's leaders refer to it as a developing nation. The framework in which his words were couched was one of morality and responsibility.
China has been putting its financial muscle into action. A recent buying delegation to Europe signed contracts of $13bn which Trade Minister Chen Deming said was only the beginning. Meanwhile China's sovereign funds and its resources companies have set off on an aggressive bid to purchase mines and oilfields abroad. The proposed $19bn deal between Chinalco and Rio Tinto might not have come off. But as with the failed attempt in the US by Sinopec to buy Unocal, this will not stop Chinese companies pursuing further such opportunities. China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) has recently signed a deal with the Iraqi government for a US $3 billion project. Sinopec has just bought Addax Petroleum of Canada.
The falling prices of commodities worldwide have given China the opportunity to buy strategic resources. Bulk carriers in the first months of the year had a bonanza shipping vast quantities of metals and minerals to China's ports. Oil tankers followed in their wake and, as China takes advantage of the low oil price, storage facilities are expanding in Dalian and other ports. This is not the behaviour of a country rattled by the global crisis, but the well calculated policy of a country playing on its strengths rather than its weaknesses.
Although the economic statistics look dire, there are several factors that indicate China is uniquely capable of dealing with the crisis. First, its financial management during the decades of growth has left the country with a strong exchequer. While other nations have accumulated large public sector deficits, China had grown its foreign exchange reserves to $1.95 trillion by the end of 2008, and is not saddled by national debt.
China's banking reforms after the Asian Crisis of 1998 have left its financial institutions in good shape. One of its banks, ICBC, is now the largest in the world, with no harrowing debts, and money to lend. That is true of most of China's other banks. While the rest of the world suffers a liquidity problem, China's banks are in a position to fuel economic growth and will play their part in the government's stimulus measures – the state-owned banks will provide financing for the 4 trillion RMB stimulus package announced by Wen Jiabao. The Government will fund only 30 per cent of the plan itself. And I am among those that believe it will succeed.
The stimulus package is already showing signs of effect in inland provinces, but this is not yet being translated into increased consumption. Here, money being planned for health and education is critical. China's conservative population are the highest savers in the world (savings now stand at 50%). In the absence of any welfare programmes, it is part of the national psyche to keep money for bad times to come.
Affordable housing is important. Most of the decline in housing prices has been in the high end sector. There is still more demand than supply in the public sector. Like education, a house for their children is seen by Chinese families as an aspirational investment for the future. Money spent on housing the poor will reinvigorate construction and bring stimulus to the economy.
A third factor worth mentioning is the Party. The one advantage of a totalitarian state is that it can get things done quickly (as during the Sichuan earthquake last year). We now see a government and state mobilising all its resources towards stimulating growth. There is nothing quite like this dynamic anywhere else in the world.
In his work report before the National People's Congress in March, Wen Jiabao announced how he expected the stimulus plan to work. The world's press, used by now to governments following one ambitious and panicked rescue plan with another, fully expected a new stimulus package to follow on the heels of the last one. Instead, Wen told journalists that he first wanted to see the effect of the existing stimulus plan. "Yes," he told them, "we have other "bullets" or even "cannons" to shoot when the time is right - but let's see first the results of the first quarter and the effectiveness of what we are doing already."
What startled everybody was his firm announcement that China's GDP for 2009 will grow by 8% - this after most foreign financial institutions and even the World Bank doubted growth much above 6% (although the World Bank has recently raised their estimate to 7.2%) He admitted it would be difficult but said it was achievable. There would be more money for earthquake recovery and support for small and medium size enterprises, science and technology and employment plans. He announced that this year the government will spend 293 billion RMB on this alone - 17.6% up from last year, including the establishment of a universal health care system.
Despite all the depressing financial statistics, most Chinese, and many long term foreign residents in China, seem to share the Prime Minister's optimism. The catching of breath arising from the visible downturn in November and December was replaced in time for the Chinese New Year by a more optimistic view that China's tsunami had passed.
Stories abound of big real estate companies, which by rights should be reining themselves in, instead spending fortunes buying up plots of suddenly cheaper land for new developments. Restaurants are packed wherever you go, stores are filled with shoppers. Certainly many of the coastal provinces are depressed but other parts of China, particularly inland, are unaffected, even excited now because the stimulus package promises more business to come.
We can all place as many caveats as we like, and talk of the dead cat bounce – and who knows, more disasters may happen as the year progresses,– but what is visible, palpable and undeniable is optimism and confidence in every city among ordinary people. I do not imagine those feelings are abundant in America and Europe and other parts of Asia. In that respect, if in no other, China is unique.
The prognosis remains good for investors. There are no clouds on the political horizon – the twentieth anniversary of Tiananmen passed without incident (not too surprisingly since most of the protesting students of that era are now businessmen and students today are more inspired by national pride than desire for reform). The housing market has more than recovered in the big cities. Domestic trade is booming. For the man in (most) streets, it is business as usual.

An Arena Full of the Richest Americans Would Own as Much Wealth as 70% of the World
Paul Buchheit Author, editor, expert on income inequality
That's 25,000 American adults, about the number of people in a large basketball stadium. That's the richest .01% of America. Together they own nearly $10 trillion, which is approximately the total wealth owned by the 3.5 billion adults who make up 70% of the entire adult world.
Data is taken from various current sources: the Credit Suisse 2018 Global Wealth Databook (GWD), the Forbes 400 rankings, and Business Insider's reporting on the world's billionaires. A summary of the calculations can be found here.
But Only India has a Greater Percentage of its People in the World's Poorest 10%
Inequality in America is out of control. A careful look at the GWD (Table 3-4) makes that clear. While our nation has by far the greatest percentage of its people in the world's richest 10%, it is second only to India in the percentage of its people in the world's poorest 10%. This is almost certainly due to the number of Americans mired in unmanageable debt.
To put it another way, one out of seven American adults is among the world's least wealthy 10%.
To put it yet another way, while 100 million American adults are among the world's richest 10%, 34 million American adults are among the world's poorest 10%.
We Let a Few Individuals Take the Wealth that Society Has Built
Jeff Bezos has $160 billion. That's more than double his wealth from early 2017. That's equivalent to the combined budgets for Education, Housing, and Health and Human Services.
The American people created the Internet, developed and funded Artificial Intelligence, and built a massive transportation infrastructure. Amazon takes full advantage of all of that. Same with the other big tech firms. All the technology in our iPhones and computers started with government research at the Defense Department, the National Science Foundation, the Census Bureau, and public universities. Google is using some of its billions to buy technologies that were built by DARPA with our tax money.
Yet we let individuals like Bezos and Gates and Zuckerberg take almost all the credit, along with hundreds of billions of dollars.
Defenders of the out-of-control wealth gap insist that all is okay, because, after all, America is a 'meritocracy' in which the super-wealthy have 'earned' all they have. They heed the words of Warren Buffett: "The genius of the American economy, our emphasis on a meritocracy and a market system and a rule of law has enabled generation after generation to live better than their parents did." But it's not a meritocracy. It's getting harder and harder to survive on individual skills. Children are no longer living better than their parents did.
Jeff Bezos has $160 billion in wealth. While he has been profiting from the Internet and the infrastructure built up over many years by many people with many of our tax dollars, he has continued to avoid the taxes that are meant to pay for all the benefits received by his company.
'Social' is Not a Dirty Word
A strong society empowers individuals, not the other way around. For 35 years Americans have been duped into believing that well-positioned individuals should be allowed to do whatever they want, and the result is the perverse level of inequality described above. In two weeks we will be given the opportunity to vote to help stop the flow of wealth to the super-rich. We just have to hope Americans have learned about the greed and deception of that arena full of super-rich.

Chris Brecht on stage at the Continental Club with Broken 45's bandmates Matt Mollica (Hammond), Bobby Daniel (bass), and Ricky Ray Jackson (pedal steel) -- and drummer Billy Doughty (not shown).
It is always a joy to listen to Chris Brecht -- whether with his full band (at the Continental Club for his second CD release of the new disc "The Great Ride") or solo (at Jo's Hot Coffees on Memorial Day at a benefit for the Green Corn Project).
The quirky Coloradoan with the unkempt sandy hair and infectious smile is one of a generation of new poets who are fast becoming legion here in Austin -- Nathan Singleton and his bandmate Justin Wade Thompson, Jeremy Nail, Dustin Welch and North Dakotan Leo Rondeau are just a few -- who have found music as the medium to deliver their visions, observations, dreams, and real life experiences.
First time I heard Chris (after knowing him a while) was at a Ham Jam evening. We were all sitting out in the atrium and Chris was singing songs that sounded like the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan -- and then pal Graham Weber actually DID sing a Dylan song as if to emphasize the point. Chris also plays harmonica -- and on stage he often seems to be in his own reverie ... you are just waiting for his self-deprecating witticisms that are what distinguish him from the fellow we met in "Don't Look Back." But the quality of the writing is just as good -- and getting better.
"Better Grab My Coat" is on the new CD -- yet another of those would be love songs that end up showing the sadder side of romance ... "when the midnight screams it screams at you, when the snow falls hard, it falls for you .... I'd better grab my coat, it's gonna be cold without you." But a song Chris did at both shows I saw this week, "Oregon," is not -- and it may be his best yet.
Then there are those great tunes that first drew my attention -- the amazing "Reading My Mind" ("Remind me of your blue-eyed son who's been walking for miles and is still not done ... SAD one you've stayed too long, outside the crowd your time has come ... as a hard wind blows through the alleys of our clothes, If I hadn't seen you come I could never watch you go."
Did I mention players? Chris has had help from guitarists Brad Rice, Gordy Quist and Chris Masterson, the wonderful Eleanor Whitmore, drummer Stephen Bres -- and various others. Rice (now in Keith Urban's band) co-produced the album, which was recorded at Bismeaux.
Or how about "A Song about Lightbulbs"? "I haven't got the fog of time I must be out of my lightbulb mind, the streets are a jungle and I'm going after you bilnd as the crowd of people that I'm diggin' through." Or "Dead Leaf" (another sad love song) -- "Moonlight tears where the night mind dies, I cannot sleep against the grains in my eyes, shelters of hope to create new lies you ain't nowhere, there ain't no lines, if your cross of a vacant road I can't help you, I'd rather watch a dead leaf blow."
OR "Absinthe" -- "Said the window to the northern rain, I could touch her poetry but it's not the same, even a whisper can't calm her down, I look into her eyes but she's nowhere to be found..." And another favorite (with a key line borrowed from Gary Snyder), "Night Highway Ninety-Nine" -- lots of harmonica here, too -- "Hemingway returns with a typewriter burn and no fixation for death, sunflower sun is hard on her skin, I'm sinking in all the way to the sea." And of course, "By Train" -- just how many verses there really are to this one depends on which ones Chris remembers (or adds on the spur of the moment?) on a given night.
We always seem to think that musicians who are in Austin today will be here forever -- and Chris seems comfortable in his skin here, true, but how can we deny that this guy just might (just might!) be swept along down the road only to play here once or twice a year before long? Pathos, insights that touch the hardest heart -- vulnerability -- not Dylan at all but more on our own plane and yet ethereal too ... closer to Townes maybe, but Chris is downright hopeful and focused on getting his poetry out to people who can identify with the places where he's been (or at least has seen up close enough to report so well).
I have already reviewed Fluoxetine's new CD, but had not seen the band play live until the other night at a birthday party for singer-songwriter (and band leader) Ryan Morris. The beautiful Erin Ivey opened (that woman grows on you song by song -- and it's maybe more the warmth she exudes than anything else, but you really want to be with her as she heads off to Zambia later this summer to teach AIDS orphans) -- and if you like jazz, check out her duo Grand Hotel.
But back to the band -- Landis Armstrong on guitars and vocals, Amy Hawthorne on bass, and a pinch-hit drummer whose name escapes me (Ronny Haas got a day job in Oklahoma that pays really well!). This band is a lot of fun -- they even brought out the smoke machine!
Amy and Landis rockin' out!; Ryan Morris in a fog!; and who does not love Erin Ivey?
Now I have seen a LOT more music in the past few daze -- notably the amazing Dana Falconberry at Clementine's (hanging out with my pal Jack), the Lonesome Heroes (with Chris Brecht) at Jo's for the Green Corn Project (the folks who help you grow your own ..... food!), Dan Dyer and Drew Smith (not to mention Dustin Welch and Jeremy Nail) at Momo's -- love Dan's energy and vocal power, love Drew's new sound). And more to come -- a review of Nathan Singleton's wonderful new record -- and a shout out for a new project by Chad Tracy.
The entire show (which also features guest sets from Super Pal Universe and The Daze) will be filmed for a DVD to be sold in Austin area high schools (and elsewhere) next fall by music management companies organized by Blastbeat (http://www.blastbeat.org/) and in partnership with the Austin School of Music and Rock Camp Austin. Also competing on Saturday afternoon (starting at 2 pm at Emo's Lounge) will be four music management companies (from Austin CAN Academy, Akins High, Anderson High, and LASA) who are also vying to win a trip to Ireland for the world finals -- these are the kids who put together the concerts, promote them, sell T-shirts and tickets, film and write about and publicize the events, all through a program created by Irish music industry veteran Robert Stephenson as a nonprofit whose goal is to help jumpstart a new generation of social entrepreneurs.
So get out there -- and if you cannot, then get ready to buy a CD next fall. Or invite these bands to play your own parties and shows. Unlike the multitudes who descend upon Austin every month (or so it seems -- and we do not in any wise discourage this in-migration) these are all homegrown musicians who are just starting to reach their own generation (and older folks too).
FINALLY -- I could not fail to report that the Hole in the Wall ACTUALLY has (thanks to its new owner, who hails from El Paso) A REAL SOUND SYSTEM! Check out the sound board!.
Steve James, the Shake'em Ups, and C-H-I-L-I!!!
Katy Rose Cox and Jenny Parrott of Shotgun Party with the well-stuffed judges who chose the winning chili during an all-day picking party at the Oaks in Manor -- Steve James was the headliner and he did not disappoint. Below -- Chainsaw Vaughn Walters and Sly "Hot Dog" Barrack of the Shake'em Ups; Vaughn and Burton Lee with Suzanne Hall.
The winning chili, by the way, came from Yvonne Coffee of the East End Craft Gallery, while Dustin Welch (raised in Nashville!) came in second.
The chili cookoff was just one highlight of a great day in the country (perfect weather, too!). The Fundamentalists (shown here at the Green Mesquite with special guest Seth Hulbert -- Brennen Leigh, Silas Lowe, Justin Kolb, and Matt Downing) opened the show with their rare and precious bluegrassy gospel tunes gleaned from a long-forgotten Americana. Next up was Leo Rondeau (shown here with Burton Lee at the Scoot Inn), whose songs come from North Dakota's Turtle Mountains and his Native American heritage.
Somewhere along the way, we had sets from Brennen Leigh and Shotgun Party -- and then it was time for a history lesson from local treasure (and world traveler) Steve James. Singing and picking (and story telling) with a single mike, Steve held the crowd of young musicians in awe -- well, except for Silas Lowe, who jumped at the chance to perform a mandolin duet with the man at whose feet he has been learning new tricks (and great stories). To this writer, Steve James is in a category of players that includes the late John Fahey and (what the heck!) Mambo John -- amazing on his instruments and larger than life.
I recall that Rosie Flores, JWW and the Prospectors and Mike and the Moonpies (led by Houston-raised songwriter Micheal Harmeier) all played fabulous sets (maybe I still missed someone), but I had to split for a while and got back just in time for Dustin Welch and his band. By that time the chili was long gone -- but the music lingered on.
But back to the Shake'em Ups -- who of course also played at the Shotgun Party Chili Cookoff at the Oaks but ALSO played Monday night at the Hole in the Wall (and who will soon embark on a three-week East Coast tour). The very handsome bassist Andrew Thomas Austin-Petersen (who also plays dobro and is also a cellist), who hails from Wisconsin (by way of Iowa), offered me a slice of pizza on Monday night when I stopped by to finally get to hear cutie pie Suzanne Hall (who recently escaped New York City) at the Parlor (great pizza, too!). Noting that Vaughn was sitting in on bass with Suzanne (whose lead guitarist, Pal Moore, was pretty awesome for a Mississippi boy), Andrew mentioned that he and Vaughn had to rush over afterwards to the Hole (where I had already planned to stop by to catch a set from Maria Mabra and her wonderful band Corinne Rose). Well, naturally that meant another late night for me!
The boys had promised to play 30 songs in a 90-minute set -- and then they added a few. But wait -- I have to say that Maria's band has never been hotter -- Scott Stewart, Jason Enright, the amazing Billy Cook, and a new fiddler who hails from Chicago (it was also Jackie's birthday). For a Seattle punk rocker who grew up in Yellow Springs, Ohio (and who is fighting the closure of her hometown Antioch College), this gospel-singing landscapist is one amazing singer-songwriter (I cannot say publicly just how good she really is on the drum kit -- while singing!). Some of Maria's songs (Corinne Rose, Goodbye) are just breathtakingly poignant, while others just knock you backwards -- more people need to get to know (and listen to) this amazing woman.
OKAY -- here is the kernel of truth. The Shake'em Ups may be the hottest quasi-bluegrass band to hit Austin since the Greencards, and they are certainly one of the most entertaining. And joyful. You should have seen the wonder the boys expressed at seeing their band name on the marquee at the Hole in the Wall. Sly and Vaughn also play (along with Burton Lee) in Horse Opera, and both write songs that come straight out of their Appalachian upbringing (Vaughn in West Virginia, Sly in rural Virginia). I am so looking forward to the night they first show up on stage with former Spanker Sick and his anticipated bluegrass on speed project.
In passing I will mention a nice set on Sunday at Nuno's on MOPAC by Blues Mafia (with Phillip Roach sitting in on guitar on one song), my first take on the BIG VOICE that I never knew Ally Means possessed (this woman has to get some jazz players to work with her!), and my brief visit to the Hole to catch part of a set from the Down Here Band (more cheeseheads -- well at least I know they are Schlitz drinkers). And with senility fast approaching I probably totally missed mentioning much more good stuff.
But I cannot sign off without noting the tornado night songwriter showcase at Flipnotics featuring the Oregonian Raina Rose, New Yorker Joanna Barbera, and our own freckle-faced Vanessa Lively -- all assisted magnificently by the afore-mentioned Sick on fiddle. Vanessa is getting better every week at building a community of songwriters -- and so she brought Joanna and Raina together for their very first time to hear each other's songs. Joanna also had help from singing partner Ann Sauder (who showed up with bunny ears and kept them on as she sang harmony on songs like "The Forgotten Trail" and "Beautiful Life." Vanessa charmed with "Leaving Salinas" and "Jesusa" and more -- and Raina -- GOOD GRIEF! -- with her new Baird Blaine guitar sang THREE songs about tornados .. and anthemic poems like "For the Good of the People" and "Badlands." Vanessa and Raina and FOUR OTHER WOMEN do it all again on Thursday night at Cafe Mundi!
Who wouldn't be dancing to Vallejo?
Okay -- May is officially Latin music month in Austin! Even before the huge Cinco de Mayo celebrations kick in, the Austin Latino Music Association (in conjunction with the Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau) has released what may well be one of the BEST collections of music ever put together here -- "The Sound Is Brown."
The CD was unveiled last week at the Gibson Guitar showroom at a VIP event (attended by yours truly) that featured music from Joel Guzman and Sarah Fox and Vallejo (that's valley joe in Alabama, where the lads travailed after leaving their native El Campo). All day long Channel 8 featured our pal Gina Chavez frolicking to the sounds of her song "Embrujo." But the crowning event will be the Pachanga Festival on May 31st at Waterloo Park -- we will figure out how to run back and forth from the big Blastbeat-Rock Camp Austin battle of the bands at Emo's Lounge that same day. My friend Sarah Wimer says that NOT TO BE MISSED is a special performance by Mexico City's La Conquista -- these ladies are spicier than the Spice Girls! And, yes, the ladies have adopted Texas as their second home!
Back to the CD (which I am told is available for $18 and well worth it)! This music never stops -- from Vallejo's "Sweet Maria" to Ruben Ramos' "Mi Prietita Consentida (Sw Que No Debo Querrette). WHERE ELSE can you get this kind of compilation -- Del Castillo, Alejandro Escovedo, Grupo Fantasmo, Patricia Vonne, Rosie Flores, Rick Trevino, David Garza, Cienfuegos, Charanga Cakewalk, Gina Chavez, El Tule, Boca Arajo, Mary Welch and Los Curanderos, Cerronato, Vitera (that's Hadyn Vitera!), Maneta Beto, and Kanko. And if you THINK you know which of these performers is your favorite (or "best"), think again! Every song is a HUGE HIT -- and every band is different. Just get it -- and get out to some of the shows highlighted on the ALMA website [ www.austinlatinomusic.com ].
Moving on, last weekend was full of celebrations -- my old barefoot bass player friend Doug Dillon paid me a visit and we went out to Evangeline Cafe (yum!) to hear Jim Patton and Sherry Brokus of Edge City with special guests Jon Sanchez, Ron Flynt, and Sweet Mary Hattersley [there's jim without a mike singing amidst the crowd!].
Then on Sunday, Doug and I were guests at the Harmoni Kelley [gushing!] birthday bash at Club De Ville. Two pretty fair bands - McLemore Avenue and the Greyhounds - were bookended around the amazing Suzanna Choffel, who had to do without newlywed bass player Johnny Vogelsang (congrats, dude!) -- which meant we had to "suffer" through bass by Brad (bass) Houser -- with occasional keyboards from magic man Mark Addison and Dave Madden [can you believe this untouched-up surrealist photo?].
I will save my review of Chris Brecht's new EP for another time -- and also a long-delayed review of Steve Ulrich's new record -- and brand new music from Bright Light Social Hour and The Bubbles (not to mention upcoming releases galore!). Instead, I will send a big HATS OFF to the Akins High Key Club for their well-attended benefit for Invisible Children at Mohawk.
Aaron from the El Guapos celebrates energy; members of Frank Smith (not the name of anyone in the band!); Jack and AJ from Bright Light Social Hour; a topside view of The Lemurs.
What a great day of music. INSIDE were the teen bands -- The Daze, the Bubbles (review to come of these psychedelic poprockers), The El Guapos and the Diving Captain (who will be among the bands duking it out to go to Ireland), Cranes of the Republic (who hope to get into the Blastbeat-Rock Camp Austin finals), and the Bright Light Social Hour (with a new EP!).
OUTSIDE (I love this venue!) it was the Lemurs, Stella Rose, Frank Smith, Golden Bear, the Politics, Built by Snow, and Frontier Brothers (I only got to see a few of these guys). Stella Rose is a three-piece hard rock band from Fort Worth notably with the very female McKenna Madget on bass; the Lemurs have two keyboard players (one also plays guitar) and are an up and coming indie rock band loved by Andy Langer; while Frank Smith features Austin native Aaron Sinclair who went off to Berklee a dozen years or so ago and got homesick and brought his band back with him (hi, mom! I've got company -- hope you have an extra fridge full of food?). I loved this band -- and got a laugh reading that Aaron once played DRUMS in the "noise punk" band Lot Six and a real buzz from hearing of the band's connection to Juliana Hatfield. The band is taking a month or so off (darn it!) -- which just gives me more prep time for their next gig.

Sep 25, 2020 রাজনীতি

Taurine supplements are recommended for some people, depending on their specific health goals and medical conditions, but it is important to understand the details of dosage and potential effects.
Taurine is a critical organic compound found in animal tissues and the large intestine of humans, among various other organ systems. It plays a key role in many biochemical processes, including those of the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Taurine is required by the brain, eyes, muscle tissue, and heart for normal functioning, which is why supplementation of taurine is so important. This acid, which possesses an amino group, is not technically an amino acid. It is often classified as a non-essential amino acid, as well as a sulfonic acid.
While an adequate amount of taurine is typically consumed in a healthy diet, supplementation is often recommended for people with heart disease or diabetes. The dietary sources of this compound include meat, fish, and dairy, making it difficult for vegetarians and vegans to intake proper amounts. However, consuming complete protein sources, such as soy, buckwheat, quinoa, and hemp seed, can provide the basic amino acids from which taurine can be synthesized in the body.
This compound is able to maintain the levels of potassium and other electrolytes in the body, which can improve blood pressure, thus preventing the symptoms of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes, as well as coronary heart diseases. This is in addition to potentially lowering overall cholesterol levels.
Research has shown that when people have adequate or high levels of taurine in their system, the regrowth of neural cells is possible, which can help to reverse or mitigate the effects of certain neurodegenerative diseases, like Parkinson's disease.
Lowering fat levels in the bloodstream and aiding the body in handling excess blood glucose are two of the best properties of this compound; thus, it can help streamline the weight loss and fat-burning process.
By lowering the risk of various risk factors for metabolic syndrome, including obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes, supplementation with this compound can be a great preventative measure for metabolic syndrome.
The link between free radicals, chronic inflammation, and periodontal disease is well known, but supplementation with taurine has been linked to better health in the oral cavity and a lower risk of periodontal disease.
This organic compound has become a very popular workout supplement, as it is known to allow muscles to work longer, safer, and more efficiently, meaning that your workouts will have better results, and your recovery time will be shorter.
Having proper levels of taurine in the body can help the immune system regulate its actions, meaning that your body is less likely to experience allergic reactions and other unnecessary energy expenditures.
This supplement is known to help in skeletal muscle differentiation, and later in life, having proper levels can help you grow and strengthen your muscles more effectively, making this a popular additive for bodybuilders and weightlifters.
By improving nerve integrity throughout the body, supplementation with this compound is known to help prevent diabetic neuropathy. Furthermore, taurine also has insulin-like properties, thus helping to regulate glucose levels and inhibit the spikes and drops in glucose that diabetic patients suffer through.
If your doctor recommends increasing your taurine levels through supplementation, most experts suggest consuming less than 3,000 milligrams per day. At that level, your body will be able to process and excrete any excess taurine without negative side effects. However, consuming more taurine, in addition to the dietary sources and bodily production, can result in unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects.
Taurine remains one of the most important organic compounds within the body, but there are some potential side effects when an excessive amount is consumed, such as complications with pregnancy and the worsening of certain nervous system disorders.
Bipolar Disorder: Studies have found that regular or extended use of this compound can worsen the symptoms of bipolar disorder, even though in moderate amounts, it may have a mitigating effect on this condition.
Pregnancy: Some of the most popular supplements of taurine also contain other active ingredients, including caffeine, which may pose a risk to pregnant or nursing women, so these individuals should avoid the use of this non-essential amino acid.


Over the last few years, YouTube has been attempting to transition into a subscription service with its own original programming. The goal seemed to be to compete with Netflix, Amazon Prime video and others. Now on the eve of Apple's own TV service launch, YouTube appears to be taking a step back.
According to sources speaking with Bloomberg, YouTube is 'bowing out' of the race against Netflix and Amazon. Plans for high-end original series are being cancelled, with two programs 'Origin' and 'Overthinking with Kat & June' already being axed. Apparently, shows that have already been produced will eventually be viewable for free and supported by advertisements.
At this point in time, giants like Netflix, Amazon and Apple are investing billions in original programming. Google apparently is not keen on matching that and will refocus on advertising revenue over subscriptions.
YouTube Premium will continue to be available despite these changes, which provides ad-free viewing, offline viewing and other benefits.
KitGuru Says: YouTube's plan to produce original content never made much sense to me, especially as there are tons of dedicated YouTube channels that produce their own content for millions of viewers. YouTube hasn't confirmed any major changes itself yet but it sounds like we'll be seeing a shift in direction this year.

Dr Hamadoun Toure opens the Plenipotentiary Conference
The ITU' s Plenipotentiary Conference could help shape the future for all people of the world, says ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré . The conference, to run over the next three weeks in Guadalajara, Mexico, was officially opened today.
Dr Touré said at the opening ceremony today that earlier ITU visionaries had dreamed a world in which there was universal access to telephones. This dream had almost been realised.
" Now we are here to shape the future," Touré said. He noted that the future depends on the capacity of ITU' s member states to share the vision and reach agreements that shape telecoms in the years to come.
Touré said the massive spread of broadband was already transforming people' s daily lives, stimulating growth and economic competitiveness.
" Who could have thought 20 years ago that communications would have changed so quickly?" He pointed to mobile phones, always-on internet, bar codes and other technologies that were science fiction not too long ago. The ITU' s work had helped bring these advances about.
" Let us be proud of the accomplishments we have achieved. More importantly, let us be proud of the work we will do here in the next three weeks. We have the opportunity to shape the future and bring the benefits of ICTs to all the world' s people."
Pointing out that he had brought his two granddaughters with him to the conference, he said he hoped to help build a future in which his children and grandchildren were proud of the work that had been done by the ITU.
" As we embrace a new era of converged communications, ICTs continue to be one of the best ways we can address the most pressing issues of our time, from economic problems to climate change," he said.
He expressed the hope that member states would cooperate in a transparent manner to help develop ICT strategies that would address these major issues.
The Plenipotentiary Conference was officially opened by Mexican President Felipe Calderó n. He said one of the main obstacles in the way of equality among all of the world' s people is the digital divide.
Mexico' s Minister of Communication and Transport, Juan Francisco Molinar, told delegates that telecommunications has played a fundamental part in the development of Mexico and in the consolidation of the nation, which spreads over a vast land area. It has long been considered of strategic importance to Mexico, and the arrival of undersea cables some years ago had allowed the country to become part of the global village.
" Broadband access is one of the most important challenges facing us now, particularly with regards to the developing world," he said, " we must also find ways to manage our communications more effectively on a global level."
UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon sent a message to the opening event, noting that for 135 years, ITU had played an important role in developing world telecommunications.
From the first telegraphs to radio, TV, satellite and internet, the ITU, its member states and members had shown how powerful partnerships can be, he said. He also highlighted the importance of harnessing the power of broadband, to drive trade, commerce, education and health. Referring to last month' s report by the Broadband Development Commission on telecoms development, he said he looked forward to working with all partners in bringing the visions of the development commission report to fruition.
The event, attended by around 2000 delegates from around the world. is staged every four years to set the union' s policies, adopt strategic financial plans for the next four years and elect leaders, including councillors for the ITU' s African region.

ABBEY Clancy's younger sister strikes a racy pose on a motorbike — as she sets the wheels in motion on her own modelling career.
Eighteen-year-old Elle draped herself across the vintage machine while dressed in lacy lingerie plus a fur coat and shiny over-the-knee boots.
Abbey, 32, has been a big supporter of her sis following in her catwalk footsteps — boosting her profile at major events like last year's Brit Awards, right.
Elle is the latest talent in the Clancy clan, joining brothers Sean, a professional footballer, and John, lead singer with the indie band Judas.
Abbey recently gave birth to Johnny, her third child with hubby Peter Crouch.
