Morgan urges England 'not to shy away' from the pressure of World Cup final
By Umair Mushtaq
Eoin Morgan has urged his side 'not to shy away' from the pressure of World Cup final after they outplayed Australia in the semi-final at Edgbaston on Thursday.
Morgan's side will lock horns with New Zealand at Lord's on Sunday, with both sides looking to lift the trophy for the first time.
"I think Sunday's not a day to shy away from, it's a day to look forward to, much like today," England captain Morgan said.
"We have created the opportunity to play in a World Cup final. It will be a matter of the same again, trying to produce everything that we can performance-wise."
'Taking nothing for granted against New Zealand'
Morgan said he was taking nothing for granted against New Zealand which is their second successive appearance in World Cup final.
"They bowled extremely well and took their opportunities. They will be a difficult side to beat on Sunday, so we are looking forward to it," he said.
England have assured the match will be screened on free-to-air television in Britain which will help promote the sport among the youth of the country.
"That's very cool," said Morgan. "Particularly given the 2005 Ashes for me was sort of the day cricket became cool. It's really good for the game and it's the game I love."
England have made huge strides in ODI cricket and propelled to the top of rankings since a woeful first-round exit in 2015 and the victory against Australia was their first win in a knockout match at the tournament since 1992.
Morgan, asked about the scepticism surrounding England's knockout prospects, replied: "I think we're quite cynical people, who never quite give people credit when it's due.
"We grow up around it. It is the way we are and we sometimes enjoy it too much.
"I think we have learnt to enjoy ourselves, particularly days like this, even if they don't go well.
"If you had offered us the position to play in a final the day after we were knocked out of 2015 World Cup, I would have laughed at you."
'Bowlers set up the foundation'
England were dominant right from the start of the contest at Edgbaston against Australia, who had never been handed a loss in their seven semi-finals.
Morgan said it was no doubt that pace bowlers Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer, did the job at the start with leg-spinner Adil Rashid doing the damage later on set up the foundation for a solid win.
"We had a bit of a day out which, it's cool when it happens like that. Particularly when the bowlers bowl like that, it is awesome," he said.
Woakes' first ball of the match was driven for four by David Warner but the seamer got the better of the left-hander with a sharp rising delivery.
"Semi-finals are usually nervy and often tight so to win the way we did was incredible," said Woakes.
"Obviously my first ball I'd like to have back. But other than that I hit my straps well.
"To bowl them out for the total that we did was incredible."

This month the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to force SF commercial building owners to register their vacant storefronts with the city's Department of Building Inspection and pay a $711 annual registration fee.
This tax is unlikely to solve the problem it's intended to solve. It also further complicates the tax code, which creates opportunities for manipulation by incumbents for rent-seeking. And it's a boon to property inspection companies, who owners now have to pay yearly to inspect their properties for city code compliance. And it tasks the already backlogged Department of Building Inspection with determining whether the storefronts are vacant due to speculation or legitimate reasons like mandatory seismic retrofitting.
If we actually want to reduce commercial vacancies, we should look at more cooperative, effective solutions.
Legislation author Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer wants to punish property owners who let their properties sit vacant while they wait for rents to go up and encourage them to rent them out instead.
"When you have commercial property owners holding multiple storefronts vacant for long periods of time, that hurts all the other small businesses in the area who rely on a vibrant commercial corridor to attract customers," Fewer said.
But vacancy taxes haven't worked in other cities. Paris failed to decrease their residential vacancy rate with taxation. Washington, D.C.'s vacancy tax took nearly $10 million from poorly connected landowners in 2016 but didn't do much to reduce rents or lower the vacancy rate.
Burdening commercial building owners with more taxes and inspection requirements creates loophole opportunities for rent-seeking incumbents. As with most taxes, savvier owners don't pay.
Many owners file for exemptions or ask for building permits for improvements they will never make. Chris Sandvig, director of policy at the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group told Pew that many owners who are unsure their property values will increase would simply not pay their tax, burdening the city with enforcement.
Vacancy taxes don't work not least because if making zero income from a valuable asset is the most profitable move for property owners then $711 isn't going to change that calculus much.
Instead of increasing taxes and inspection requirement, governments should be eliminating the barriers they've erected to renting out properties.
That's what Christian Britschgi suggests in Reason. In a growing city, property owners rent their buildings before developers build competing units. Only in a city where property owners can count on no new buildings does it make sense to leave them empty. "A more direct response to that would be to simply allow for more development, not to impose another blunt tax on property owners," Britschgi writes.
Get government out of the way of building new commercial properties, and owners will rush to get their buildings rented out.
But the tax can't get restaurants into buildings that aren't zoned for them. A 2018 survey of vacant commercial properties found that nearly 80 percent of SF's vacant shops are zoned for non-restaurant use. Re-zoning vacant properties for a wider array of uses would make them more profitable to rent while diversifying the types of businesses available to neighborhood residents.
Speaking of neighbors, Corey Smith, deputy director of the Housing Action Coalition offered another, more voluntary solution to retail vacancies: more housing. If we "add housing at all levels of affordability along our commercial corridors," Smith said, those businesses will have a bigger pool of customers to draw in.
Commercial vacancy is a problem for SF neighborhoods. But the solution isn't more government. It's less. Building more units, more housing, and re-zoning buildings for a wider variety of uses are more likely to be effective than this tax and come with far fewer unintended consequences and opportunity for rent-seeking.

Deputy, Policy and Advocacy
Retno Wiranti
Head of Cooperation Division
How long is the head of agency's term of office?
The Indonesia Competition Commission is a decision-making body composed of commissioners working with a collegial system. The commissioners serve for a five-year term. Their assignment can be extended for one more terms of office.
When is he or she due for reappointment?
The ICC is undergoing a new leadership with the appointment of nine new commissioners in May 2018. In the second part of this period, the commissioners elected … and Guntur Syahputra Saragih as the new chairman and vice chairman.
Which posts within the organisation are political appointments?
The commissioner position at the ICC is a political appointment. The election process takes up to five months. An independent team elected by the President selects several government officials, academics, business people or lawyers to screen the candidates to be nominated to parliament. The selected nominees are then recommended to the President for his approval for appointment. The President will appoint the nominees once they pass the fit and proper test and receive approval from the parliament. Before the process in parliament, by way of public disclosure, the public may also review the selected candidates. For this, the independent team will announce the shortlisted candidates in the national newspaper.
What is the agency's annual budget?
The ICC's resources come from the state budget and certain percentages from administrative penalties paid by the businesses. The law also leaves open the possibility that the ICC's budget be supplemented by alternative sources, such as a grant or loan (for example, international donors). The ICC's current budget is approximately US$ 9.9 million.
How many staff are employed by the agency?
The total number of staff employed is around 446 people, including the director, manager, investigator, auditor and administrative staff in headquarters and regional representative office.
To whom does the head of the agency report?
As per article 35 g of the Competition Law, the ICC is required to report to the President and the Parliament.
Do any industry-specific regulators have competition powers?
No. The ICC is the only agency that enforces and promotes competition law and policy. However, the ICC may cooperate with industry-specific regulators concerning competition matters.
Do politicians have any right to overrule or disregard the decisions of the authority?
No. Politicians have no rights to overrule or disregard the ICC's decisions. According to the law, decisions can only be appealed through the Commercial Court and the Supreme Court.
Does the law allow non-competition aims to be considered when taking decisions?
Yes. The Competition Law contains a number of exclusions and exemptions that use broad concepts. Some of these are included to address industrial and socioeconomic policy goals such as promoting innovation, public interest, small- and medium-sized businesses and so on. Several guidelines issued in defining the concept of exclusion and exemption are stipulated in the law.
Which body hears appeals against the agency's decisions? Is there any form of judicial review beyond that mentioned above? If so, which body conducts this?
The Omnibus Law on Job Creation (Law No. 11 of 2020) amended some articles in Law No. 5 of 1999. One of the changes is the appeal against the ICC's Decision is no longer handled by the District Court but the Commercial Court. As the Implementing Regulation to that Law, Government Regulation No. 44 of 2021 regarding the Implementation of Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition was issued, and Article 19 (1) stated that a Business Actor may lodge an objection to a Commercial Court in accordance with the domicile of the Business Actor by no later than 14 business days following the acceptance of a notice of decision of the Commission. If the party objects to the decision of the Commercial Court, it may file an application for cassation to the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia within 14 business days following the acceptance of the notice of decision of the Commercial Court.
Has the authority ever blocked a proposed merger?
Has the authority ever imposed conditions on a proposed merger?
Yes. The ICC has imposed several conditions on a proposed merger. The purposes of conditions are to ensure that the output from merger will not violate Law No. 5 of 1999. There are some conditions that the Commission will impose on a proposed merger:
the Commission will impose structural conditions to restrict the size of merging parties to not become a dominant firm in the market or industry, for example, conditions such as divestments;
the Commission will impose a behavioural condition to ensure that the merging parties will not use its market power to harm the competition or the consumer. Conditions include eliminating barriers to entry, bundling and tying in, and others; or
if necessary, the Commission can give recommendation to the government for overseeing the result of a merger if the industries are highly regulated.
Has the authority conducted a Phase II investigation in any of its merger filings?
The ICC will conduct a Phase II investigation if the Phase I – used to determine the concentration change caused by merger – shows that the concentration in the industry is changed drastically as a result of the merger. In that case, the ICC will conduct a Phase II investigation with an emphasis on barriers to entry, efficiency, the potential for anticompetitive behaviour and a failing firm defence (if any). One of the examples is the acquisition of PT Axis by PT XL Axiata in 2012.
Has the authority ever pursued a company based outside your jurisdiction for a cartel offence?
Yes, we have.
Do you operate a leniency programme? Whom should potential applicants contact?
There is no leniency programme. However, the ICC has proposed a leniency programme to be adopted in the amendment of the law.
Is there a criminal enforcement track? If so, who is responsible for it?
If there is a criminal finding on a competition case, it is transferred to the police, the attorney general, the Commission for the Eradication of Corruption or to other concerned criminal bodies.
Are there any plans to reform the competition law?
Yes. The ICC is currently proposing the amendment of the law to the parliament.
When did the last review of the law occur?
The law was partially amended through the issuance of Omnibus Law on Job Creation (Law No. 11 of 2020).
Do you have a separate economics team? If so please give details.
We have a separate economics directorate who deals with economic analysis, research and market study
Has the authority conducted a dawn raid?
The ICC does not have the authority to conduct a dawn raid.
Has the authority imposed penalties on officers or directors of companies for offences committed by the company?
If the offence is committed by the company then penalties will go to the company, not their officers or directors, unless the individual acts at their own interest.
What are the pre-merger notification thresholds, if any, for the buyer and seller involved in a merger?
The ICC uses a post-merger notification. A certain amount shall consist of:
asset value in the amount of 2.5 trillion rupiah; or
sales value in the amount of 5 trillion rupiah.
For business actors engaged in the banking sector, the obligation to provide written notice shall be applicable in the event that the asset value exceeds 20 trillion rupiah.
Are there any restrictions on minority investments that involve less than a majority stake in the business?
There are no such restrictions for those that are not listed in the negative list of investment issued by the government.
Indonesia: from the enforcer's competition economists
Address: KPPU Building, Jl Ir H Juanda No. 36, Jakarta Pusat, 10120, Indonesia
Email: [email protected] / [email protected]
The Indonesia Commission Commission (KPPU) employs 129 officials with economics degrees.
Yes, we have a separate economics directorate that deals with economic analysis, research and market study.
No, we don't.
None of our internal (permanent) staff have a PhD in industrial economics.
Yes we do. In cases where economic analysis and impact analysis are considered as essential in proving the violation, a specialist economist is included in the team.
No, it isn't. The economist's main role is to directly assist the case, not to play a role in reviewing whether analysis performs well throughout the case.
There is more than one piece of economics work each year. An example of economics work that is outsourced is market surveys.


Topics involving gut health and the microbiome have been extremely hot topics in the health and wellness space. People are reaching for kimchi and kraut for beneficial ways to live healthy, all while supporting their gut — which in turn supports the immune system! The good bacteria living and lining our gastrointestinal tract helps protect us from pathogenic factors resulting in salmonella or E. Coli, among many other things, so support your gut with the naturally-occuring bacteria that come from fermented foods.
Let's clear up a myth real quickly: pickled foods are not fermented and do not contain the beneficial probiotics that fermented foods do. Foods that are pickled are shelf stable and have been preserved in an acidic medium, while fermented foods create their own acidic medium while they are fermenting. It's the fermentation process that produces the beneficial bacteria, so when you're at the grocery store, double-check that it is indeed fermented! A big clue that it's pickled is that vinegar is one of the ingredients.
Fermentation is a process that produces beer and wine, in addition to bread and cheese. It's a chemical reaction that cultures have been implementing for centuries, resulting in the delicious foods we eat today. Not only are these foods delicious, but they're greatly beneficial for our health. Why is fermentation so great? It's beneficial in that it aids in digestion and the bioavailability of nutrients in our bodies, as well as immune health and inflammation balance.
Alcoholic – This type of fermentation occurs in glucose metabolism, when pyruvate is broken down to carbon dioxide and ethanol by bacteria. This is used in beer, bread, and wine making.
Lactic acid – When pyruvate is broken down via glucose glycolysis, it can then be further fermented to lactic acid.
Both of these processes result in bacteria that aids establishing and maintaining healthy gut flora.
Keep in mind there are well over a dozen of beneficial probiotic strains, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1 and Lactobacillus plantarum. Each fermented food will contain different strains that support different things. For example, Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, supports a healthy bacteria balance and immune function. Lactobacillus plantarum is found abundantly in kimchi, and survives and with stands your stomach's acidic environment that makes it invaluable.
Better digestion – Fermentation breaks down foods and their nutrients to more easily digested compounds. When Lactobacili — a highly abundant probiotic — multiplies in fermented foods, it increases their vitamin levels, in addition to their bioavailability. For example, dairy products are difficult for some people to digest, but in fermented dairy products the lactose can be converted into lactic acid, making it better tolerated.
Fermented foods can help with arthritis symptoms, reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance, enhance the bioavailability of nutrients, and support the suppression of H.pylori.
Kimchi – Kimchi is spicy fermented vegetable blend from Korea. This savory, fermented treat boasts high mineral, vitamin, and fiber contents — in addition to the naturally occurring probiotics.
Kombucha – Kombucha has led to a cult following with this fermented drink. This beverage can be enjoyed as a sour tonic that is slightly sweet.
Kefir – Kefir is a fermented dairy product, as a result of lactic acid fermentation. The fermentation comes from kefir grains, which are naturally balanced in lactic acid yeast and bacteria.
Sauerkraut – Sauerkraut is cabbage fermented through the lactic acid process of fermentation. It has been modernized quite a bit, so it's not your typical German side dish anymore! Find it fermented with calendula, radicchio, and beets.
Yogurt – Yogurt is probably the most popularly marketed for its cultured benefits, but it is a nutritional power-house! It has probiotics, calcium, and protein.
Natto – Natto is fermented soy rich in Bacillus subtilis, made popular in Japan. The enzyme produced in natto is nattokinase, and is a natural blood thinner.
Cut your cabbage into quarters (or have your produce department do it).
Place two quarters in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle one tablespoon of salt over it.
Begin to massage and work the cabbage, as the salt tenderizes and pulls the moisture from it (this is the crucial step, so be sure to get a good amount of liquid from the cabbage).
Mix the other ingredients and seasonings in.
Take the cabbage and place it into a clean mason jar.
Pack the cabbage as tightly as possible.
Pour the cabbage brine on top, so the cabbage is completely submerged.
Repeat the above steps for the second half of your cabbage.
Let it sit and rest on your counter for up to two weeks.
If the lid begins to swell, open the jar and give it a little burp, and then reseal it.
Once the two weeks are up, store it in the refrigerator.
Bifidobacterium longum BB536 – This probiotic supports the immune system, while suppressing harmful, intestinal pathogens. It establishes and helps colonize beneficial bacteria, and can be used in diarrhea prevention.
Protease (from Aspergillus Niger and A. oryzae) – This enzyme aids in dairy digestion.
Lactase – This enzyme aids in the digestion of lactose found in dairy products.
Lipase – This enzymes aids in fat digestion.

Chicagos White Sox a joyous inspiration
November 11, 2005 5:06 AM CST
1917 was the unforgettable year when the world witnessed the revolutionary birth of its first socialist state. The countries of imperialist expansion were waging a world war. But working-class Chicago found a unique reason to celebrate with the city's first World Series triumph in U.S. baseball history.
Eighty-eight years later, the city where the Communist Party USA was founded, today home to the People's Weekly World, is again celebrating a historic World Series victory — the Chicago White Sox are baseball champions. War and economic hardship continue to haunt working families here as around the world, but still working-class communities across Chicago are drawing inspiration from a sports team that brought unity and spirit to an entire city.
The White Sox won 16 of their last 17 games played this year. Beginning with a close end-of-the-season victory over Cleveland, the Sox swept the Boston Red Sox, then defeated the Los Angeles Anaheim Angels and went on to clinch the World Series by winning four straight games against the Houston Astros. The Sox demonstrated pure drive with their remarkable pitching, amazing defensive coordination and small ball genius, complemented by a hitting squad nothing short of sheer heart.
Game three of the exciting struggle between Chicago and Houston made baseball history as the longest World Series game ever — a 5-hour 41-minute, 14-inning battle. Nonetheless in game four, Venezuelan-born starting Sox pitcher Freddy Garcia displayed utter brilliance, throwing seven scoreless innings, giving up only four hits and striking out seven. At the top of the eighth inning, game four was zero to zero. No World Series game had gone scoreless for seven full innings in the past 14 years.
Yet MVP Jermaine Dye hit a single up the middle allowing pinch hitter Willie Harris to score the winning and only run of the game. Then at the bottom of the ninth, with one down, shortstop Juan Uribe made an "in your face" reach into a pro-Astros crowd, snatching Chris Burke's foul ball. One out away from victory, Uribe once again charged a high-hopper hit, after two strikes, by Orlando Palmeiro, seizing the ball and firing it to first. Palmeiro was out and Chicago won!
What a spectacular, joyous display of clutch baseball and outstanding teamwork. George Bush Sr. and Barbara Bush were present, continuously showcased on national television by FOX, at the final games in Houston. It was fun to see them leave their home team stadium as losers.
The White Sox team's achievements and organizational diversity are noteworthy. General Manager Kenny Williams is the first African American to hold that position in Chicago sports history and only the third in the major leagues. Manager Ozzie Guillen, who played for the Sox from 1985-97, is the first Venezuelan native to manage a major league team. Guillen is one of only three Latino managers and seven minority managers in the majors. The Sox starting lineup is impressively integrated, with African American, Latino, white and Japanese players who all equally contributed to the team's success.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, on his weekly live television and radio program "Hello, Mr. President," congratulated Guillen on his victory, calling him a "national hero." Chavez told Guillen, "You are like the king of Venezuela. Your triumph is the triumph of all Venezuela."
Guillen responded by saying, "I'm going to try to bring the World Series trophy so that my country may enjoy what the people of the United States enjoy," adding, "It's the first time the World Series trophy is going to leave the Unites States." Although Guillen may not agree with everything Chavez is doing in Venezuela, Chavez expressed pride in the Chicago manager, concluding, "You are a true leader, friend, the whole nation is waiting for you."
Tens of thousands greeted the South Side champions as they paraded through Chicago neighborhoods, saluting their fans. Similar to what we hope a May Day workers rally would look like one day, Chicagoans wearing Sox hats, jerseys and jackets packed downtown cheering the players. Waving team flags, balloons and white socks, and carrying brooms symbolizing the team sweeping the Astros, fans skipped work and school to celebrate their Chicago heroes.
Chicago's World Series victory may not stop the war in Iraq, or instantly organize working families to promote united action around social justice, equality, peace or socialism. Baseball as a sport is arguably not the center of political education, raising working-class consciousness and revolutionary ideals. Capitalist exploitation in major professional sports, ridiculous salaries and many untold stories of violent injuries in athletic competition are all unquestionably heartbreaking. However, the love, passion and determination shown in this win are brave and inspiring. When a team sets a specific goal and then works tirelessly to achieve it, that motivational force is powerful.
As peace lovers, freedom fighters and social justice leaders, we can try to learn from the many positive, productive and collective experiences illustrated in major professional sports. As communists there is something unique, rich and beautiful about the game of baseball that we can all learn a lesson from. The historic victory of the Chicago White Sox is real proof of that.

Skip The Plane? The Carbon Footprint Of 5 Other Travel Methods
By Emma Murphy
According to WWF's carbon footprint calculator, travel makes up a whopping 35% of the average person's environmental footprint; although we should point out that this includes day-to-day commuting as well, otherwise we'd all be seasoned globetrotters.
For eco-conscious travelers, particularly those who favor international travel, this creates a real dilemma. There's always the option to purchase carbon offsets for all that jet-setting, but travelers with a little more time may want to consider skipping the plane.
For globetrotters thinking about slow travel, we've created a list of five travel methods that are (often) greener than air travel, evaluating the pros and cons of each; not just in terms of sustainability but also practicality, time and cost.
Trains can be incredibly eco-friendly, especially if they're using renewable energy. They have the ability to transport hundreds of people over several hundred miles (sometimes across country borders). Indeed, it's one of the best modes of green transport for international travel on this list.
According to the US Transportation Energy Data Book, rail travel is only responsible for roughly 1.61 megajoules (energy units) per passenger kilometer compared with 1.85 for aircraft. The carbon emissions from trains are also less damaging than those from planes, as they are not released into the upper atmosphere.
The journey might take a bit longer but modern trains have all the amenities you need: Wi-Fi, bathrooms, dining cars, table seating for working or group conversations, and quiet rows for peaceful solitude. You may be able to book a sleeper train and catch some ZZZs on the way too.
You can see more of the country from your window seat than from the top of the clouds.

Bus or Coach
Buses and coaches are often incredibly eco-friendly choices. They're able to transport dozens of passengers and some of them even utilize renewable energy sources. According to the Getting There Greener Guide from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), a couple travelling by coach, rather than flying, can cut their emissions anywhere from 55-75%.
Most of them come with free Wi-Fi, air con and sometimes they'll even show a DVD on the mini-screens they have throughout the vehicle. There's nearly always a bathroom on board. (Pro tip: take some eco-friendly hand sanitizer because a bathroom doesn't guarantee soap.)
Bus or coach travel can match the eco-friendliness of train travel without the need to keep your belongings on you at all times, so—for those of us who can't pack a carry-on to save our life—just drop your suitcase as you board.
What's better than feeling the wind in your face as you speed down a dirt track towards your destination? Cycling's the ultimate in eco-travel according to the Transportation Alternatives program in NYC, just make sure to stay safe: always wear a helmet, stick to designated routes, use lights if it's dark, and be aware of our animal or insect friends that could be crossing your path.
This might be slightly impractical if you're travelling more than a few miles (unless you have the stamina of Lance Armstrong Chris Froome). On the other hand, if you don't have a specific destination, you could see where your pedals take you.
Time to get the controversial one out of the way. Driving is not generally thought of as an eco-friendly form of transportation but sometimes it can surprise you; i.e. travelling somewhere without an airport, which requires driving for a length of time when you arrive.
For example, to get from Las Vegas, Nevada to Anaheim, California it takes roughly 4.5 hours by car or a one-hour flight from McCarran to LAX. However, once you've factored in the time to get to and from the airports (just over an hour from LAX to Disneyland) and the time going through security, it's quicker, most cost-effective, and eco-friendly to drive.
If you're travelling in a full car, then you can easily reduce the carbon impact per person. The Getting There Greener Guide from the Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that a family of four travelling by car will produce 89 pounds of carbon per 100 miles, which is only 13% higher than a person travelling alone. Climate scientist Dr Peter Kalmus, from the Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory, estimates that—based on that party of four—flying is roughly 10 to 20 times more harmful to the environment than driving.
So cars can be eco-friendly, as well as super-convenient; for extra green points, rent a hybrid.
Not all that long ago travelling by boat was literally the only option for people who wanted to travel across continents (and sometimes even within their own country). Granted, it does take longer than a flight, you can always make the ride a part of the trip, and many boats have restaurants and entertainment onboard.
It's important to remember, however, that not all water transport is created equal; cruise liners, for example, have a higher environmental impact than planes, due to fuel consumption, damage to the oceans and the high volume of electricity needed to provide all the services people expect of a luxury cruise.
Modern boats, however, are produced to be as green as possible. They're made out of light metals like aluminum—the less the boat weighs, the less fuel it needs. They're also painted with a non-polluting paint which stops corrosion—fewer repairs means less raw material usage—and are specifically designed to be as hydrodynamic as possible.
Many boats are now using biodiesel, which dramatically cuts the pollution levels; Sailors for the Sea's Green Boating Guide estimates this to be roughly 5 pounds of CO2 emitted per gallon for biodiesel compared with around 20 pounds for marine diesel and Jet A.
Philippe Holthof estimates that the average CO2 output is 0.12 kg per passenger kilometer by ferries as opposed to the 0.35 kg per passenger kilometer for domestic jet-engine flights according to Lipasto, a transport emissions calculator from the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
Though boats are often seen as a short journey solution for islands just off the coast of the mainland, there's been a rise in international ferry travel over the past few years. They tend to produce less greenhouse gas per mile as it uses the heat generated by its engines to heat passenger areas or water. Most ferries also have a power-save mode to reduce the amount of energy used for lighter loads. You could even hitch a ride on a cargo ship for a truly unique trip.
Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether the ecological impacts outweigh the time and efficiency of travelling via plane; after all, not everyone can take enough vacation days to facilitate a slow travel trip. Sound off in the comments section below.

I recently read that August is like a Sunday. It's an ending to all the fun you have been having. I have enjoyed my summer, much more then last year. I just think that the warm weather we have been having drops off by the end of August. So, I don't fully agree with this thought, I love September too. My birthday is in September and same with my wedding anniversary.
K and I finally booked our summer/fall trip. In September we are going to the Dominican for our Wedding Anniversary! We have a nice hotel and the reviews on the place are good, so I am really excited. If you have been there, leave me a comment about your time. What should I not do? Should I venture out of the resort into their town?

Intelligent driver assistance systems of modern cars help to identify potential dangers in good time and to prevent accidents. Radar systems provide with cruise control and emergency breaking system for more safety in road traffic.
Modern windscreens hold besides intelligent systems for rain sensors, as well as light- and defogging sensors, heatable panes, antennas for radio and navigation systems and more components.
Many electronic driving aids obtain their information from a front camera, which is fitted in the windscreen. The camera system is responsible for the lane departure warning, traffic sigh recognition and thus for the presentation of information – for example over the Head-up-Display (HUD).
With an increasing number of intelligent components of modern windscreens the claim for professional execution raises. Not only systems for rain and light sensors must be adjusted again. For the car window montage it is indispensable to dismantle the camera system and the front camera and later it has to be calibrated precisely to ensure a 100% functioning of the diver assistance systems. We provide you this important service by means of the modern CSC Tools (Camera & Sensor Calibration Tool).

Textile Museum Leaving Borderstan
Thinking about visiting the Textile Museum in our 'hood? You've still got plenty of time, but the countdown is on to its departure. The Museum will be making its first move ever since its 1925 opening and will soon be located on GW campus in Foggy Bottom at 21st and G Streets NW. Until then, if you want to pop by, you can find the Museum at 23rd and S Streets NW, above Dupont Circle. Read more about it over at the Post.
The Price We Pay
A few months ago, Mayor Gray authorized a $1 fuel surcharge for cabs after the D.C. Taxicab Commission approached him, claiming that gas was too high. Well, it was set to expire about a week ago, but DCist confirms the city is keeping it in place, at least through November 12. Feel free to voice your discontent here — we're with you.
Missed the Boat — and Some Funding
D.C. and Virginia too will be taking a cut in funding from the federal government next year, according to the Examiner. Among other things, the Bush-approved 2006 Adam Walsh Act created a national sex offender registry that requires states to adhere to specific criteria in order to claim compliance. Since neither government meets those criteria, they'll be missing out on some money — $250,000 in the District's case, and $500,000 for Virginia.
You Can Never Plan Too Early
Mark your calendars now for the 2012 International AIDS Conference. Not only will the big event be coming back to the States, but it'll be right here in our own District. More specifically, you can take part in the "Keep the Promise on HIV/AIDS" march and rally on July 22, 2012. Get the full scoop from MetroWeekly.

How can I find hope for the future?
My sense of safety within my marriage was shattered by my spouse's affair, and my sense of safety within my country was shattered by the events of September 11. I feel helpless and depressed and can't find it within me to be hopeful that things will ever get better.
Any life crisis (whether personal or in society as a whole) challenges our beliefs, our attitudes, and yes, our hope. However, the hope is to be found in the lessons we learn from the crises. While I don't personally subscribe to the idea that things "happen for a reason," I DO believe that we can "find meaning" through the way we respond to and learn from any experience.
The question above refers to a "sense of safety" being shattered both by the spouse's affair and by the 9-11 tragedy. What was shattered was actually the illusion of safety. We weren't safe to begin with; we simply didn't know it or didn't recognize it—so we inadvertently failed to take the steps necessary to try to prevent it. Whether affairs or terrorism, we tend to think that we are not personally vulnerable, but this false sense of being somehow immune makes us even more vulnerable because we fail to be aware and informed about factors that could make a difference.
There's clear evidence that people who had studied terrorism for the past few years were well aware that a major terrorist attack in the U.S. was likely. But in general, we preferred to ignore or deny the signs. With extramarital affairs, we have also preferred to ignore or deny the prevalence of affairs. We've tended to buy into what I've called the "monogamy myth," a set of beliefs that leads us to think we can just assume monogamy, that our marriage is somehow immune. In neither case (in dealing with the threat of terrorism or the threat of affairs) have we openly shared the kind of information and perspective that might have helped prevent them.
The hope we can find from these events is that now we are more aware/wiser when it comes to both terrorism and affairs. Therefore, we can better protect ourselves and others from being "victims" in the future. The national "wake-up call" that is so evident in the public's reaction to 9-11 stands as a great example of the kind of wake-up call that is also needed within marriages today.
For instance, the airline passengers who confronted terrorists on a plane in Pennsylvania after the World Trade Center was hit (as well as other passengers who confronted another would-be terrorist on a later flight) would not have reacted as they did without the knowledge gained from this new awareness of the risk of terrorism. Now that terrorism has reached our shores, we recognize the need to become more aware and involved in the protection of everyone.
Whether dealing with affairs or terrorism (as well as any significant problem we face), it's important to recognize that we shouldn't wait until it affects us personally before we try to address the issues. I learned that lesson the hard way many years ago when I was trying to deal with my husband's affairs—alone, without the kind of information and support from others that could have been so helpful. (I am now committed to "breaking the code of secrecy" about affairs in order to help others be more aware and informed.) I again learned the importance of talking about crises when I faced breast cancer about ten years ago. I was somewhat more informed about that, but again, had not talked about it and learned as much as would have been helpful.
Dealing with the 9-11 tragedy has raised our awareness of the importance of caring, service, and community—and has brought out not weakness, but strength and an indomitable spirit that will better prepare us for whatever might happen in the future. In a similar vein, dealing with an affair can raise our awareness of the importance of honesty, trust, and marriage in a way that may have been either assumed or ignored for too long. If we learn from such a crisis (and share these learnings with others), we will all be better prepared to address any relationship problem in a more realistic, proactive, positive way.
So far from feeling helpless and hopeless when faced with life's challenges, we can use the experience to become stronger by being more open to learning—and sharing—our experiences with others. As for feeling "helpless" (as described in the above question), we are actually far more helpless when we are unaware and uninformed about dangers or risks. Once we know about certain risks, we're much better prepared to deal with them if/when they happen to us or to someone we love. The risks exist, whether or not we are aware of them, and knowledge can bring not helplessness, but power.


As we sat down at what –since then- has become the pub where I had a beer with Fin Dac, my first instinct was to ask him about the unglorious side of street art, a.k.a. gentrification, as his old piece in Rome (Quadraro neighbourhood) was vandalized several times by a "fiercly resistant" local.
His iconic geisha (which, btw, he eventually restored) was seen as totally out of context in a suburbian neighbourhood of Rome, actually missing the whole point of Fin Dac's masked portraits.
By wearing that bright coloured mask, all women become the same woman. The mask is what ties all those melanchonic, yet proud, faces together, uniting them in the same tribe: no prejudiced assumptions, despite the fact that the models portrayed are from different ethnicities.
Invited to Upfest 2016, Fin Dac didn't paint one of his trademarked geishas in Bristol, instead choosing an unusual subject: the Japanese "kokeshi" dolls, which he has previously painted only in Tokyo and Colombia.
At the core of this experimentation is the fact that Fin Dac's dolls must show some influences from the local area. In this case, it's the reference to Banksy's 'girl with the balloon' and the balloon itself, which is shaped like the house from the movie 'UP' as a tribute to the Up-fest street art festival. Likewise unusual is the depiction of a background, which in this case is inspired by Bristol's pastel houses. But no need to worry: the vivid splash of colour conveying the focus onto the face and bringing energy to the piece is still there!
Being the freaking workaholic he is ("There is no reason to sit down and relax, the most important thing is the work", he stated), Fin Dac not only travels the world to attend street art festivals, but also enjoys the organizational aspects behind an urban art project. In fact, he is currently inviting his favourite street artists to take part in a brand new urban project that he is organizing in a social housing estate in London, with the aim of improving the local area for its residents.
Originally from Cork (Ireland), Fin Dac lives in London, where he used to work as a web developper before he began painting portraits of Asian girls in the streets, initially with no masks. He loves London, but he admits that he doesn't feel as if he fits into London's 'Old Boys Club', which doesn't accept anyone who paints in a different style. His nonconformist, 'different style' is what he calls 'Urban Aestetics', a new generation made of artists painting something aesthetically pleasant, which shouldn't necessarily be political or social. The only purpose of his art is to bring beauty to our mundane lives.
"Londoners think they are the centre of everything but, because of this attitude, they actually fall behind everybody else", he said.
And, as a proud adopted-Bristolian, I can't agree more.
Thank you Finbarr for your time. I hope to meet you again!


People from all walks of life have undertaken training in our various courses, and while training is about imparting skills and knowledge it should also be enjoyable and yes even fun, because that's how we learn.

However, results are just the tip of the iceberg of what we have planned for that day, which will be the ultimate literary bash, combining fiction with the page and stage sides of poetry.
Pre-awards, we have a whole day planned out for you, with fantastic authors giving you a taster of their work and a bookfair featuring some of the most exciting indie presses around. Best of all, it's free! So grab a pint or a cup of tea and come and hang out with us.
The evening awards are ticketed, and it's cheaper if you book in advance, so we urge you to head over here to buy some now. Sabotage Reviews is entirely run by volunteers, each ticket you buy helps us break even, and makes it more likely that we can keep running these celebrations of indie literature. It'll also be our 4th birthday, so, you know, it'd be nice to see you and all.
Enough with the chitchat, below you'll find a timetable of the afternoon readings as well as a list of the publishers attending the book fair. A quick note that each editor curated an hour's worth of readings in the afternoon so the poetry/spoken word/fiction labels are a reference to that.

Beading and sequin accents in a chevron pattern make the bodice of this two piece dress truly unique. The satin bodice with corset back features a deep V-neck in front that's made perfectly modest by a high neck halter illusion overlay.

Glitter tulle, dazzling crystal and beadwork on the bodice, and a dual design skirt makes this two piece corset back gown one of a kind. The skirt features a layer of loosely coiled rosettes atop tiers of fluffy tulle. The modest illusion high neck halter overlay is embellished with beading and sequins in a chevron effect to accent the deep V-neck under-bodice and also creates a choker and necklace design at the front. At the back, the halter neck splits into two flirty straps to create a partially open back. Order a matching jacket to cover your shoulders for your ceremony.
This beautiful two piece dress with a corset back bodice features stunning spider web beading and sequin accents all around. The skirt, fashioned of shimmer organza, is gathered into very loose rosettes then finishes with tiered layers at the hemline. The bodice features a unique, high neck, Queen Anne type scalloped cut out front detail that adds a modest touch to the sweetheart neckline. At the shoulder seam, the illusion straps split off to create a beautiful partial open back detail with scalloped edges that echo the front. Order a matching jacket for your ceremony.
You'll be a vision in this two piece corset back gown. The skirt is fashioned from layered and ruffled organza with a ribbon-like edging while sequin and crystal embroidered beading visually elongates the bodice for a slimming drop waist effect. Illusion straps add a modest touch to the classic sweetheart neckline and split off at the shoulder seams to create a beautiful partially open back detail. Order a matching organza jacket for the perfect finishing touch.

Orange man is really really bad today.
I've got this odd craving- McDonalds animal cookies. I'm certain they will not be as I remember.
I went out of my way to hit McDonald's on the way to the job this morning. No mcadonaldland cookies no moe. So I went ahead and ordered some nasty trash steak biscuit. I haven't been right all day.
I cant remember the last time I ate fast food... It would probably blow out my system.
In other news, I just spooked a 7 foot alligator on a residential property.
Gators aren't a rare sight, just the place this one was. I'll have to be more careful with the water up so high. Got mice in my rice too. Never had a rodent in the shop before. Rice has been in the maybe 3 weeks, I ran out of mylar bags and keep forgetting to order. I just flipped the open bags over, purposely letting some spill out. I'm still going to store the rest. Between the o2 absorber and boiling, it be fine.
Once you learn about crustal displacement theory, revelation 6:12-17 makes literal sense.
I hate this. When you don't know the right question to ask because you don't understand the thing well enough to know what questions to ask, then once the mechanism of the thing in question is known, the question you didn't know to ask becomes a crystal clear. Frustrating.
Pray for me. I had to enter a shopping mall complex in the city. Filthy animals everywhere.
You were really there to have your new tactical flannel monogrammed, weren't you? It's OK to admit it, Daddy Garand would be proud.
I have been considering a kilt though. To get in touch with my slave roots. I need my reparations too.
Omfg if I hear one more stripped screw being installed I'm going to flip out. Get a new bit, boy.
Just passed the 8 hour mark and nothing is working properly except the cameras, just on a different system. Not the one I'm paying for. Gonna have to come back in the morning. I'm about to lose my cool.
How do you know if you're allergic to it, until you take it and have a reaction?
And all of them were approved by your Government!
Reason #256 I hate scumbag labor unions- they pretty much guaranteed nothing significant will be pulled out of the new bore hole over this stupid strike that affects less than 100 people.
The damn hog got out about 30 minutes indi the second one. So frustrating they can't have used even one of the original actors for continuity. Lame. After capture, the inmate was transferred to death row for further fattening.
Just noticed Amazon prime has both atlas shrugged movies. I have not seen them. Good chance nothing get done today.
Is that the brand of patriotism you were referring to below?
Can't remember if parts 2&3 are on the second one or not though.
I awoke to a feeling of unrelenting patriotism. Be prepared for my brand of motivation today. Now get out there and make something happen.
Thought I was gonna be able to relax le a Democrat youth today. Stupid attempt at self sufficiency keeps getting in the way.
Do not ever buy property with a gas pipeline underneath it and think you have any rights to your own property. I'm ready to move into galtville before this gets further out of hand.
Put my in the camp of "Very Very interested". Like I mentioned. I have given up 60 feet of easement for a gas line on the edge of my property.
You didn't "give up" anything. They took your land under threat of violence and incarceration, and you didn't shoot back.
Ughhhh, did a search, sent me to the old place. It's really devolved. To the point I just quit reading for my answer. I'm so grateful we left. Pilgrims we be!
Just lit up an old kindle it came up on that site. Couldn't resist seeing if some expats from here were there.
Stirring the pot over there I suppose? Why is it people do that stuff. If you get off on making others miserable just because, you are truly more likely than a forty year old single man with one handful of friends and no children. And I get by just fine without demoralizing others.
Didn't stick around to see what was happening. Most of the usual suspects posting it seemed tho.
Grev was right I think.
I just realized how truly stupid the left is. Go back 3-4 years, you didn't hear much about abortion. The right was just turning a blind eye. So these geniuses found a way to bring the subject up in such a way that now it must be stopped in the eyes of most. All because they were scared of something that most likely wouldn't have happened.
They need to manufacture constant controversy to stay relevant.
These assholes are really starting to upset my calm. Back that dial back to 1980 so we can squash this.

These marvellous volunteers call themselves the "Wednesday Warriers" and love the work they do on the Grand Ridge Rail Trail in Victoria. They feel a need to support the local town of Mirboo and what a great support they are!
We are asking individuals or groups to contact us now if they think they would like to volunteer in the future. Maintenance is a big issue for any rail trail and volunteers are always a great asset. Communities need to feel they "own" their trail and volunteering is a great way to feel pride in your trail.
We have had a number of groups contact us already so have started a data base for future use. Please email us if you are interested in helping and let us know if you have any particular skills or interests eg landcare, building, management skills, weeding or general labouring.
If you think the rail trail will improve your business or you are thinking of starting a new business once the trail is in operation, please let us know! It will be very helpful if we know this information! Email your ideas, questions or thoughts.
After receiving the funding for the section between Murwillumbah and Crabbes Creek, Tweed Council have been working very hard to finalise proceedings before the anticipated commencement of work early next year.
Issues that still need to be looked at are the change in legislation, governance and maintenance funding.
Uki Treatment Plant Development Application is in!
Hopefully we will have a new mountain bike track in Uki. Get your submissions in now!
Tweed Valley Mountain Bike Riders have submitted a development application to Council to make this site a legal mountain bike trail.
Our wonderful engineers from NRRT have examined and assessed all the bridges from Casino to Mullumbimby completely pro-bono and we are extremely grateful for all the hard work they have put in. It appears that a lot of the old tressle bridges are in a very bad state making it difficult to keep and use them. Their heritage value is recognised however, and all attempts will be made to keep some for that reason.
Richmond Valley Councils have agreed to give $15,000 and Lismore has $15,000 in it's budget (the budget will now go out to exhibition). This will go towards the business case which will be primarily funded by last year's crowd funding campaign.
Work has commenced on the Ecological and Heritage Assessment, which will be paid for by the www.foundation grant received last year. This, as well as the engineering reports, will form part of the business case documents.

If everyone can make a small donation to help keep our organisation running, it would be a great help. We spend money monthly on maintaining the website, mail chimp, facebook, markets, printing, postage and merchandise. We use our own money for travel and petrol and many other incidentals.
We want to try and not eat into the crowd funding money which has been earmarked for the business case.


Nokia X and the emerging markets: The Microsoft Windows Phone isn't good enough?
Some things I'm excited about, some things I'm less excited about. This sentence, which perfecty represents what I'm feeling is an allusion to Joes Belfiore's short statement to the question about possibility of Nokia using Android. In the beginning were rumors and at the end is the bitter reality.

Senators Stage Their Own 'Survivor' Show
Freshmen senators Jeff Flake and Martin Heinrich traveled to an uninhabited tropical island north of Australia this summer for a week documented by the Discovery Channel on a special that airs tonight at 10 p.m. ET. They hope their broader point — that two politicians can oppose each other on policy yet work together to accomplish something — isn't lost on viewers or their colleagues.
By David Bauder | October 29, 2014 | 5:48 a.m. ET.
NEW YORK (AP) — Jeff Flake and Martin Heinrich were willing to go to great lengths to prove that a Democratic and Republican U.S. senator could work together.
Like halfway around the world. The freshman senators traveled to an uninhabited tropical island north of Australia this summer for a week documented by the Discovery Channel on a special that airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET.
The result is a lot like "Survivor," only without Jeff Probst leading them through challenges. Thankfully, they're neither naked nor visibly afraid. Flake, an Arizona Republican, and Heinrich, a Democrat from neighboring New Mexico, try to build a fire, find shelter and hunt for food and water.
They hope their broader point — that two politicians can oppose each other on policy yet work together to accomplish something — isn't lost on viewers or their colleagues.
The idea began as a joke that quickly became real. The men are already fit, outdoors types, and Flake spent a week alone on another Marshall Islands spot five years ago in what his wife called his midlife crisis. The senators started chatting about hobbies one night on the Senate floor during a long session.
"I showed him pictures of fish that I'd speared," said Flake, 51. "He showed me some that he did and they were much bigger. So I thought, `This guy could be useful.'"
Once they decided to go, they thought they'd bring some cameras to record the experience and talked to Discovery about whether the network would be interested. Yes, but Discovery wanted to send its own production team.
"That was the point at which we lost control," quipped Heinrich, 43.
There's some truth behind that remark. One thing politicians hate to cede is control. They kept the whole thing secret from all but a few people until after they got back late this summer, and felt the pressure while there.
"Neither one of us wanted to be the guy who taps out on Day 3 or can't hold up his end of the bargain," Heinrich said.
Even without Probst, the two had a number of challenges. Finding food and fresh water was tough. Heinrich was disgusted by the amount of pollution that had washed ashore on their island, but the found objects undeniably helped sustain them.
It was an educational experience for both.
"I learned that Martin's fire-starting skills are a lot better at home than on the island," Flake said.
"I learned that Jeff swims a lot faster when there are sharks behind him," Heinrich said.
Their most important accomplishment was building a sense of trust. The men, both former House members elected to the Senate for the first time in 2012, have heard all the old Washington stories of political foes who fought during the day and socialized at night, but said that's more difficult today.
Republicans and Democrats have fewer opportunities to know each other. Most are commuters, gone when the Senate isn't in session. Evenings are filled with political fundraisers, and Flake said during sessions, GOP senators often have three lunches scheduled each week with each other. Democrats have two ("Quicker studies," Heinrich joked).
Add in a political atmosphere that doesn't reward conciliation and it's a recipe for gridlock.
Following the airing of "Rival Survival," the senators said they would send a letter to colleagues urging that they all get together socially at least once a month, if not once a week, to build relationships and help to work with one another.
They also wouldn't mind seeing some colleagues try what they did.
"We have a list," Heinrich said. "There's a list of people we think will come back working better together, and a list of people we think the Senate would work better without."

SAN ANTONIO — Attorney Kent Schaffer, one of the court-appointed attorneys prosecuting Attorney General Ken Paxton in a securities fraud case, is running into trouble of his own in a racketeering and conspiracy case where he represents the former president of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Fuchs is asking federal Magistrate Judge Henry J. Bemporad to remove Schaffer and his co-counsel, James Kennedy, as defense attorneys for Jeff Pike, the former Bandidos president.
Fuchs claims Schaffer and Kennedy have conflicts of interest, as also reported by the Houston Chronicle last week.
While Bemporad rejected an earlier version of the motion, it became clear at a hearing Friday morning that the government has produced enough evidence to cause him to reconsider.
Prosecutors have raised three issues.
First, they say the club had Schaffer review legal paperwork to try to identify snitches, which could conceivably involve him in the alleged conspiracy. Second, prosecutors say the club kept Schaffer on retainer as "house counsel," raising the same issue.
Finally, they say Schaffer previously represented two witnesses against Pike, which could put him in an untenable position if he knows anything he would want to use against his former clients this time around.
It is already a conflict, prosecutors say, that Schaffer is insisting on being told their identities while they wish to remain anonymous until trial.
Bemporad postponed consideration of the first two issues Friday, while asking for additional written arguments from Schaffer's team. Schaffer must now convince Bemporad that adding a new lawyer to the team who is "walled off" from information about the former clients will solve the conflict. Otherwise, Bemporad said he will disqualify Schaffer and Kennedy.
After that issue is resolved, the court will have a chance to consider whether or not Schaffer had any actual involvement in a criminal enterprise.
Evidence that damages Schaffer's reputation could prove highly embarrassing to the Collin County judges who agreed to pay Schaffer and two other attorneys more than $1 million to prosecute Paxton in a case based on a mistaken assumption.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joey Contreras argued that Schaffer also has a conflict between protecting his own reputation and serving his client.
"He's trying to salvage his own reputation because it does sound bad," Contreras said, citing allegations of murder and attempted murder.
The evidence, which includes testimony from an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration and two members of the club, remains under seal. Schaffer was given a redacted copy of an affidavit by the DEA agent Friday.
However, because the testimony remains under seal, it's impossible for the public to know how much of this could be gamesmanship.
Schaffer told the judge that, as best he could figure, the witnesses were likely two club members he had represented in "assault-type cases" over bar fights.
His argument was that a bar fight involving a club member in his individual capacity would have no bearing or connection to the alleged criminal conspiracy.
This matter creates a problem with appearances for Schaffer. The case against Paxton is based on an allegation that he put his own interests before his partners. Here, Schaffer is effectively asking a judge to let him put his own interest before the interest of his former clients.

Katherine's K-Pop Recap: June 14-20, 2021
Posted bykatherinemoly June 20, 2021 Posted inaespa, April, B.A.P, BamBam, BLACKPINK, Brave Girls, BTS, cignature, EXO, fromis_9, GOT7, Ha Sungwoon, ITZY, IZ*ONE, Katherine's K-Pop Recap, Monsta X, N. Flying, Oh My Girl, SEVENTEEN, TWICE, TXT, UP10TION, WEi, Yugyeom
A summary of the news, current and upcoming comebacks, charts and music show wins, and more!
NOTE: Except in special cases, the news recapped in these posts will refer to K-pop only. K-dramas, variety shows, and other forms of entertainment will only be mentioned if there is an idol or idol group involved.
News to Note
Rookie girl group cignature has added two new members to their lineup after the departure of Ye Ah and Sunn earlier this year. You can learn more about them here.
B.A.P member Himchan made a post on Instagram apologizing for his past actions over the last few years. (He was recently sentenced to 10 months in prison for indecent assault, and he was also booked for drunk driving last year.) This post turned out to be a suicide note of sorts, as he attempted to take his life shortly after. He was found in time, and he is currently not in any immediate danger. You can read a translation of his Instagram post here and more about the situation here.
Last week, I wrote that a schoolmate of ITZY's Lia had made a post accusing her of bullying several months ago. JYP Entertainment had taken legal action against her for defamation, but those charges were dismissed by the police due to insufficient evidence. This week, JYP Entertainment released a statement further explaining the situation and declaring that they were requesting the case be investigated again. You can read a translation of their statement here.
Yerin is the first member of GFriend to sign with a new agency following the group's departure from Source Music. She has joined Sublime Artist Agency, the same company that GOT7's Youngjae also recently signed with. You can read translations of her Instagram post about it and Sublime Artist Agency's announcement here. (Neither she nor her new agency mentioned what kind of activities she will be doing, so I guess we'll see if she does music or acting or something else.)
After two years, former Wanna One member Lai Kuanlin has won the lawsuit he filed against Cube Entertainment to terminate his contract. You can read more about it here.
There have been several more developments in the situation between April and former member Hyunjoo.
Chaewon, one of the first April members to deny any bullying of Hyunjoo, made another detailed post to the group's fancafe explaining some things that happened in the past. You can read a translation of that here.
Hyunjoo made a post on Instagram saying that her family is preparing for the lawsuits raised against her brother and herself, and she asked people to stop attacking and criticizing the April members. You can read a translation of that here.
Chaewon responded to Hyunjoo's post, as well as criticisms that she got some dates wrong on her previous post. You can read a translation of that here.
CJ ENM confirmed that IZ*ONE and the agencies they belong to have been discussing a reunion, but also clarified that it's just talk so far and there's nothing confirmed. You can read more about the situation here.
SEVENTEEN is delaying their comeback promotions after coming into close contact with two staff members who tested positive for COVID-19. Though all the members tested negative, they have been recommended to undergo self-isolation until the end of June. You can read Pledis Entertainment's statement about it here.

The International Side of K-pop
TXT has been seeing some pretty great results internationally for their latest comeback:
The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200, which is their highest ranking to date. It's their fourth album to appear on the chart, and the first time they've been within the Top 10.
Because their Japanese album ranked on the Billboard 200 earlier this year, they're now the third K-pop artist in history to have multiple albums rank on that chart within one year (after BTS and TWICE).
The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE also ranked #1 on Billboard's World Album Sales chart, as well as for Top Album Sales and Current Top Album Sales.
In Japan, The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE topped Oricon's Weekly Albums chart. It's the fourth album of TXT's to do so, a distinction that only three other non-Japanese artists have previously achieved: Mariah Carey, TWICE, and SEVENTEEN.
TXT also performed "Magic" on The Late Late Show With James Corden, which you can watch here.
BTS's "Butter" has ranked #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 for the third week in a row, becoming their first single to do so. ("Dynamite" also placed #1 three times, but not consecutively.) It also came in #1 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart and moved to #2 on the Global 200.
Two K-pop music videos hit new viewer milestones this week:
aespa's "Next Level" has reached 100 million views on YouTube. They achieved this milestone in just over a month, about three weeks faster than with "Black Mamba."
TWICE's "Alcohol-Free" also reached 100 million views, and it's now their fastest to do so since it took about a week and a half.

writing a macro in Excel to align 2 sets (columns) of data based on names.
I have run this code from the sheet("dataeachstore") and the data is emptied in the desired ranges. However, if I copy the code to another sheet("dashboard"} and put it in command button 1 in the "dashboard", and command button 1 is run, the data is not deleted. The msgbox's do display, so the program is going through the With/End With path, but the data is not deleted. It seems that the code runs but the sheet "DATASHEET" is not active or is not being accessed.
I guess I need code that I can , while being in a workbook/worksheet - go to another workbook/worksheet and do something and return to the initial workbook/worksheet.
MsgBox "RICHARDSON QUERY DATA DELETED ", , "Example"
MsgBox "DALLAS QUERY DATA DELETED ", , "Example"
MsgBox "FRISCO QUERY DATA DELETED ", , "Example"
MsgBox "McKINNEY QUERY DATA DELETED ", , "Example"
Each command within the With block must be connected to the With statement that precedes it. Consider the difference.
The first example specifies the workbook and the worksheet and the Range. In the second example only the range is specified. When there is such lack of specification VBA simply assumes the ActiveSheet to be addressed, and this is what is happening when you run the code from the Dashboard. It deletes a lot of ranges from your Dashboard worksheet, or whichever worksheet happens to be active, and might damage it beyond repair.
The With statement saves you a lot of typing because you can connect any command within it to its first line. The point is that you can, but must not. In your code the choice was made not to connect.
If you wish to specify that the selected ranges should all be on the worksheet specified in the With statement, each selection command must be preceded by a period. The leading period will tell VBA that the command is incomploete by itself and needs to take the missing information from the With statement.
Note that the ClearContents command will delete only values but leave formatting intact. The Clear command will delete everything, including formatting, and reset the cells to Excel defaults.
