The same day that we hauled our Tahoe to the mechanic to have its fuel pump replaced, the starter on my 1977 Jeep Wagoneer started making a horrible screeching / grinding sound when I started the engine. I immediately assumed that the nose gear from the starter wasn't retracting back into the starter after the engine started running. I had replaced this starter 12 years (8000 miles) earlier, and the new one had a lifetime warranty, so I expected this would be a free, one-hour fix. I should know better by now.
For the second time in the 17 years I've owned my Wrangler, the inner and outer shells of my fiberglass hard top separated due to the force of a failed window strut. This can be fixed--or at least patched--with a little bit of 2-part fiberglass repair epoxy and some clamps.


text: Q: Sections of Cokernel sheaf Consider a sheaves morphism $f\colon \mathcal{F}\to \mathcal{G}$, where $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{G}$ are sheaves on a topological space $X$. Now we have the cokernel presheaf and its sheafification $\textit{Coker}(f)$. How can we describe the sections of this sheaf? In Griffith-Harris, Principles of Algebraic Geometry, on page 37, is stated that a section of $\textit{Coker}(f)$ on an open set $U\subseteq X$ is given by an open covering $(U_{\alpha})$ of $U$ and by a family $ (s_{\alpha})$ with $s_{\alpha}\in \mathcal{G}(U_{\alpha})$ such that for every overlapping open sets $ U_{\alpha}, U_{\beta}$ we have $ {s_{\alpha}}_{|U_{\alpha}\cap U_{\beta}}-{s_{\beta}}_{|U_{\alpha}\cap U_{\beta}}\in f_{U_{\alpha}\cap U_{\beta}}(\mathcal{F}(U_{\alpha}\cap U_{\beta}))$. My question is: why this is true? I know that a similar characterization holds for the sections of the sheafification of a separated presheaf, but the cokernel presheaf is not separated in general, if i am correct. For example this is true if $f$ is injective, but in general?

Native Plant Books
In recent years there's been growing interesting in all sorts of native plants. Many natives and wildflowers are now available at nurseries. Here are reviews of some native plant books for different areas of the country.
"A Guide to Florida Grasses" by Walter Kingsley Taylor was released by the University Press of Florida. These grasses also occur in the South and Southeast. This title is beautifully illustrated with 500 lush color photos and line drawings. A handy metric ruler to use when identifying the plants is printed in the inside cover.
This definitive guide features over 200 common and rare grasses. This covers all the basics on botany and the different parts of the plants. There is an in-depth introduction to grasses and their uses.
The plants are arranged alphabetically by tribes. Within each tribe, they appear alphabetically by Latin name.
For each tribe there is a general introduction. The grass profiles have color photos of the entire plant and the flowering stems. There is a complete plant description of each species and its parts, details on its life cycle, habitats, distribution in Florida and elsewhere, and details on its flowering times. This title has a handy glossary.
"Plants of the Texas Coastal Bend" by Roy L. Lehman et al has drawings by Eveline May Jackson and Kim Keplar. This title also includes a CD with 750 color photos. Published by Texas A & M University Press, this is part of the Gulf Coast Studies series. This title updates and expands a 1975 classic book by Fred B. Jones.
The introduction provides a complete background on the area, its climate, geology, topography, and soils. There are also easy to use keys to the families.
This book covers all the different types of plants. This has a general description for each family. There are individual descriptions for each species along with details on its soil preference, bloom time, common names, habitats and locations. There are drawings for many of the plants. The appendix lists the color photos on the CD by the family name. There is also a glossary of terms. Measurements are in the metric system.
"Wildflowers of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island In Color" is by William K. Chapman et al with drawings by Philippa Brown. Published by Syracuse University Press, this definitive guide covers both common and rare species of the area. Illustrated with 400 lush color photos, this is essential for nature lovers. Reader-friendly, it is jargon-free and easy to use. The flowers are organized into sections by color. Under each color these are organized by the appearance of the flowers and/or leaves.
This also has a glossary of terms as well as a visual glossary of flower types, leaf shapes, and so on.
For each plant profile, this gives the common and Latin names, family name, time of flowering, an easy follow description using metric system and inches along with other information, such as how a plant got its name.
"Enchanted by Prairie" features breathtaking photos and commentary by Bill Witt as well as an essay by Osha Gray Davidson. Released by the University of Iowa Press, it is part of the Bur Oak series. This title presents the grandeur of the prairie and the sense of place it provides. Rather than surveying the entire region, this provides an intimate look at some of the plants and habitats. The photos are memorable in their own right, such as one of big bluestem grass serving as the backdrop for the rising moon.
The introductory essay by Davidson is thought provoking. He presents a natural history of the area, noting that only remnants of the vast prairie remain following the conquests of the pioneers and subsequent development. Using examples from American literature, he calls for urgent action to preserve the remaining areas. He looks to the future when a sustainable way of life returns to the region.

In light of my church background and personality, I developed as a follower of Christ who was pretty blunt and leaned heavily into speaking the truth (without much grace). I even had friends who suggested I tone down and filter the bluntness.
As I continued in my spiritual journey, I saw where I hurt people with my blunt responses, and saw & experienced some unhealthy situations in the way staff and their families were treated in church situations.
I took all of this into account and made a decision I wanted to be more "grace-filled" in my interactions with people. I began to lean more toward grace, even though some staff and others might question and laugh at this statement!
While at the Blessing Ranch this Summer, Dr. John Walker reminded me that Jesus was 100% full of grace and 100% full of truth 100% of the time. If I'm following Jesus in a way that honors Him and am "full" of Him I should exhibit the qualities of being full of grace and full of truth all the time.
Dr. Walker suggested I lean into both, but since the pendulum of my life has swung more toward grace, I should work on being more balanced in speaking the truth like I once did – but without the harshness.
He suggested when speaking to someone about a difficult situation, I try to do these things: a) honor them by showing genuine respect & kindness, b) let them know what I value about them, c) share small pieces of information when that's possible, and d) invite them to help find a solution. If these don't work, I'm to take additional steps to hopefully help them see the issue. It's a way for me to strive to be more balanced in relating to people with grace and truth.
Maybe it's something worth considering in your relationships too.

FLORIDA FARM BUREAU CASUALTY
INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellant, v. GERALD H. GRAY AND SABRINA GRAY KING, TRACIE
HESSLEY, AS PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ESTATE OF RAIVYN B. SUMMERFIELD,
DECEASED, Appellees. 1st District. Case No. 1D16-3118. Opinion filed September
29, 2017. An appeal from the Circuit Court for Suwannee County. David W. Fina,
Judge. Counsel: Matthew C. Scarborough, Scarborough Attorneys at Law, Tampa,
for Appellant. Stephen C. Bullock, Brannon Brown Haley & Bullock, P.A.,
Lake City, for Appellee Gerald H. Gray; No appearance for Appellees Sabrina
Gray King and Tracie Hessley.
(LEWIS, J.) Appellant, Florida Farm
Bureau Casualty Insurance Company, appeals the trial court's Final Judgment
Awarding Reasonable Attorneys' Fees. Appellant raises three issues on appeal,
only one of which merits discussion and reversal. Appellant contends that the
trial court erred in applying a contingency risk multiplier to the attorney's
fees it awarded to Appellee, Gerald H. Gray, because the fee agreement between
Appellee and his attorney was a non-contingent fee agreement. We agree with
Appellant and, therefore, reverse the judgment as to the application of the
multiplier, but otherwise affirm.
After a wrongful death suit was
brought against Appellee, Appellant filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment,
requesting that the trial court enter a judgment declaring that it had no duty to
defend or indemnify Appellee. As a result of these actions, Appellee sought
legal representation.
Appellee's attorney's fee agreement
with his counsel provided in part:
1. You
have employed our firm to represent you. We appreciate your confidence in our
firm and want to acquaint you with our method of handling your matters. This
letter is intended to set forth our firm's agreement with you as to the nature
and scope of the legal services the firm will be performing, the manner in
which the firm's fees for those services will be determined, and the terms upon
which payment will be made.
OUR BILLING RATES
normal legal services would be billed at the rate of $350.00 per hour for the
firm's partner attorneys' time and $250.00 for the firm's associate attorneys.
We use paralegals or legal assistants when possible, and their rates are $85
per hour. However, we may record higher hourly charges and in the event the
Court were to award legal fees and costs then [sic] any higher amount awarded
by the Court, including any multipliers, will then be the amount of legal fees.
INITIAL PAYMENT
3. We
require an initial lump sum payment of $5,000.00 at the signing of this
Agreement to be applied toward the final attorneys' fee amount billed and/or
awarded by the Court in No. 2 above.
The fee
agreement further provided that "[t]ermination of our services by you or by us
shall not relieve you from payment of any amounts owed for services rendered by
us through the date of termination" and that Appellee would be "responsible for
reasonable attorneys' fees" in the event the "firm uses the services of an
attorney to collect any sums owed on any account" of Appellee.
After Appellant admitted coverage,
Appellee moved for attorney's fees, arguing in part that the trial court should
apply a 2.5 multiplier given that the "fee agreement contained a contingency
component for an amount to be awarded by the Court." Appellee's counsel sought
$80,695 in attorney's fees.
During the attorney's fee hearing,
Appellant's counsel argued in part that the fee agreement was not a contingency
fee contract "because basically no matter what the fee up to a certain amount
of money, in this case $350 an hour, is to be recovered whether the client
win[s] or lose[s]." He also argued that the fee agreement was not a partial
contingency fee contract because Appellee's counsel charged his normal hourly
rate. Appellee's counsel, Stephen Bullock, later testified that his normal
hourly rate is $350 an hour. When asked if he was going to charge Appellee $350
an hour "even if you were to lose the coverage action for whatever reason,"
Bullock replied, "What I said was that that's our normal billable rate. And
then I said, however, we may record a higher hourly charge in the event the
Court were to award legal fees. We're now at that juncture. . . . This was just
if the court didn't — listen, if we lost the case we'd be at 350 an hour." He
also testified, "If we lost the case we'd be at 350 an hour. But the agreement
says if we don't lose the case the Court is going to set the hourly rate . . .
." When asked if he agreed that "this is not a full contingency fee agreement,"
he replied, "It's a hybrid." When asked if he agreed that it was not a partial
contingency fee contract, he replied, "It's a hybrid, that's what I said." When
asked if he was calling his fee agreement a "hybrid contingency fee" contract,
he replied, "My — no. It's contingency only in the sense that the Court is
going to set the hourly . . . . That's not what it says. Here's what it says.
It says is contingent on the Court setting the amount of the fee. That's all.
That's the only thing that's contingent."
Following Bullock's testimony, as
well as the testimony of the parties' expert witnesses as to a reasonable fee,
the trial court entered a Final Judgment Awarding Reasonable Attorney's Fees,
wherein it characterized the fee agreement as a "hybrid partial contingency fee
contract." The trial court accepted the testimony of Appellee's attorney and
expert witness and found that Appellee's potential success in the case was
unlikely at the outset and it was through the efforts and legal skill of
Appellee's counsel that positioned him for "ultimate settlement." After noting
that it had considered several final judgments entered by other judges in the
Third Judicial Circuit, the trial court concluded that seventy hours of time
spent on the case was reasonable, as was $450 per hour for attorney Bullock and
$350 per hour for an associate attorney in Bullock's firm. The trial court
decided that a multiplier of 2.0 was justified, for a total amount of $72,000
in attorney's fees. This appeal followed.
The trial court awarded Appellee
attorney's fees pursuant to section 627.428(1), Florida Statutes (2015), which
rendition of a judgment or decree by any of the courts of this state against an
insurer and in favor of any named . . . insured . . ., the trial court or, in
the event of an appeal in which the insured . . . prevails, the appellate court
shall adjudge or decree against the insurer and in favor of the insured . . . a
reasonable sum as fees or compensation for the insured's . . . attorney
prosecuting the suit in which the recovery is had.
Appellant does not dispute
Appellee's entitlement to fees, but argues that the trial court erred in
awarding a contingency fee multiplier where the fee agreement was
non-contingent in nature. For the following reasons, Appellant's argument is
well-taken, and reversal as to the multiplier is warranted.
In Florida Patient's Compensation
Fund v. Rowe, 472 So. 2d 1145, 1150-51 (Fla. 1985), the supreme court
discussed the "lodestar process" of determining attorney's fees, the factors to
be considered in determining a reasonable fee, and contingency risk factors.
The supreme court explained, "Because the attorney working under a contingent
fee contract receives no compensation when his client does not prevail, he must
charge a client more than the attorney who is guaranteed remuneration for his
services." Id. at 1151. In determining whether a multiplier is
necessary, a trial court is to consider: (1) whether the relevant market
requires a contingency fee multiplier to obtain competent counsel; (2) whether
the attorney was able to mitigate the risk of nonpayment in any way; and (3)
whether any of the factors in Rowe are applicable, especially the amount
involved, the results obtained, and the type of fee arrangement between the
attorney and his client. Standard Guar. Ins. Co. v. Quanstrom, 555 So.
2d 828, 834 (Fla. 1990).
In this case, it is undisputed that
the fee agreement was not a full contingency fee agreement. The trial court
found that the fee agreement was a "hybrid partial contingency fee" contract,
as argued by Appellee. In Lane v. Head, 566 So. 2d 508, 510 (Fla. 1990),
the supreme court explained that one of the purposes of Rowe was to
encourage attorneys to take cases under contingency fee arrangements, "thereby
making legal services more widely available to those who otherwise could not
afford them." The supreme court explained that a multiplier is within the trial
court's discretion in those instances in which the "contingency-fee arrangement
is only partial" because "this policy also will encourage attorneys to provide
services to persons who otherwise could not afford the customary legal fee." Id.
at 510-11. The supreme court held that the fee agreement at issue constituted a
partial contingency fee arrangement because the fee agreement required the
appellant to pay his attorney the greater of $100 an hour or twenty-five
percent of the amount actually recovered, and the undisputed testimony
established that the attorney's customary reasonable fee was $150 an hour. Id.
at 509. After noting that the attorney would have received only two-thirds of
his usual fee had the appellant lost the case, the supreme court set forth, "We
use the term 'partial contingency-fee arrangement' to mean those instances in
which an attorney is guaranteed a fee that is less than his or her customary
reasonable fee if the client loses, but the opportunity for an enhanced fee if
the client prevails." Id. at 513 n.1. It concluded that attorneys taking
partial contingent cases are not entitled to the same enhancement of the
customary reasonable fee that would be available if the fee arrangement were
fully contingent. Id. at 511; see also Goodman v. Tectonics
Unlimited, Inc., 861 So. 2d 485, 485 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003) (holding that the
appellee's fee agreement with its attorney was a partial contingency fee
arrangement " 'where 'an attorney is guaranteed a fee that is less than his or
her customary reasonable fee if the client loses, but the opportunity for an
enhanced fee if the client prevails' " and noting that the appellee agreed to
pay its appellate attorney $1,500 as a " 'partial flat fee,' " the fee
agreement contemplated that if the appellee prevailed in the appeal, the
attorney would seek a court-awarded fee, and that if the attorney collected the
awarded fee from the appellants, the attorney would refund up to $1,500 to the
appellee (citation omitted)).
Here, in contrast to the fee agreement
in Lane, where the attorney was guaranteed an hourly rate below his
customary rate, Appellee's attorney testified that his usual billing rate is
$350 an hour. The "Our Billing Rates" section of the fee agreement provided in
part, "Our normal legal services would be billed at the rate of $350.00 per
hour for the firm's partner attorneys' time and $250.00 for the firm's
associate attorneys." The agreement required an initial payment of $5,000 "to
be applied toward the final attorneys' fee amount billed and/or awarded by the
Court . . . ." When asked on cross-examination if he was going to "be charging"
Appellee $350 an hour if he were to lose the coverage action, Bullock replied
in part, "[I]f we lost the case we'd be at 350 an hour." When asked if he was calling
his contract a hybrid contingency fee agreement, Bullock replied, "It says [it]
is contingent on the Court setting the amount of the fee. That's all. That's
the only thing that's contingent." Based upon these facts, the trial court's
determination that the fee agreement is a partial contingency fee contract is
erroneous.
Although Appellee argues on appeal
that he "indicated [below] that he would not and could not pay any legal fees
for the declaratory action," we previously rejected a similar argument in the
context of whether an inability to pay one's contracted attorney's fees
transformed a fee agreement into a contingent fee agreement. See Superior
Ins. Co. v. Cordle, 851 So. 2d 207, 207 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003) (agreeing with
the appellant that the trial court erred in applying a " 'contingent risk' "
multiplier where the insured's attorney " 'would have technically been entitled
to recover his fee up to $200.00 per hour from the client, win or lose' " but
agreed to a reasonable fee awarded by the court and holding that the
"likelihood that the client will not pay the agreed-upon hourly fee is not the
criterion upon which 'contingency' in this context is based").
Accordingly, we reverse the final
judgment as to the application of the multiplier, but otherwise affirm. On
remand, the trial court is instructed to recalculate the attorney's fee award
without applying a multiplier.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part;
and REMANDED with directions. (ROBERTS, J., CONCURS; WINSOR, J., CONCURS IN

Rosen, die der Sturm entblättert ist ein 1917 entstandenes deutsches Stummfilmmelodram mit Pola Negri, Ernst Hofmann und Maria Widal in den Hauptrollen.

Handlung
Margot Hallberg und Anna Berger, zwei Freundinnen, besuchen beide ein- und dasselbe Konservatorium. Ihre Beziehung zueinander ist äußerst innig, und aus dieser schwestergleichen Liebe heraus schenkt Margot, als sie in ihr Elternhaus  heimkehren muss, Anna einen Ring, der demjenigen, den sie selbst trägt, haargenau gleicht. Erst im Moment, in dem eine der beiden sich verloben sollte, so geloben die jungen Frauen, soll der Ring abgenommen werden dürfen. Als die zurückgebliebene Anna den ungarischen Klaviervirtuosen Arpád Lendvay kennen und lieben lernt, schenkt sie diesem zur Verlobung Margots ihr überlassenen Freundschaftsring. Bald kommt es zum Äußersten, und Anna wird schwanger. Der verantwortungslose Windhund verlässt sie daraufhin, und Anna geht angesichts der "Schande" aus Verzweiflung ins Wasser.

Margot hat in dem Abschiedsbrief ihrer besten Freundin keinen Anhaltspunkt erhalten, bei wem es sich um den ehrlosen Schuft handelt, der ihren Freitod ausgelöst hatte, und als sie Arpád kennen lernt, verliebt sie sich ebenfalls in ihn. Nach einem Jahr folgt erst die Verlobung, dann die Eheschließung der beiden. Als Margot in einer Kassette Annas Freundschaftsring entdeckt, wird ihr klar, wen sie da geheiratet hat. Fassungslos und erschüttert zugleich verlässt sie ihren Neu-Gatten und kehrt in ihr Elternhaus zurück, während dieser sich nach Amerika einschifft. An jedem Todestag, der nun folgt, wird Margot vor Annas Bildnis deren Lieblingslied singen.

Produktionsnotizen
Rosen, die der Sturm entblättert entstand zum Jahresende 1917 und passierte die Filmzensur im Januar 1918. Eine österreichische Erstaufführung ist zum Ende Juni 1918 aufzuweisen, eine deutsche erst am 17. August 1918. Die Länge des Vierakters betrug 1306 Meter.

Kritik
In Wiens Neue Kino-Rundschau heißt es: "Der vierte Film der Maria-Widal-Serie 1917-18 ist ein effektvolles, sehr gut inszeniertes und trefflich photographiertes Werk. Der recht sentimentale Inhalt erinnert an die Romane der Heimburg und Marlitt."

Jelly Belly Candy Company, manufacturer of Jelly Belly jelly beans and a wide range of confections, is a family owned and operated business now in its sixth generation of candy making. Jelly Belly jelly beans were introduced in 1976. In 1976, David Klein, a candy and nut distributor, approached the Herman Goelitz Candy Company (now Jelly Belly Candy Company) and requested a new type of jelly bean with "natural" ingredients sold in single flavors.Fruit purees and juice concentrates were added to the natural ingredients of the Herman Goelitz Candy Company Mini Gourmet Jelly Bean, and the Jelly Belly jelly bean was born.
Jelly Belly Candy Company traces its roots to the entrepreneurial efforts of Gustav Goelitz, who came to the United States in 1866 and with his younger brothers, Albert and George. They built a successful confectionery business: Gustav Goelitz Candy, in Belleville, Illinois, and later Goelitz Brothers' Candy in St. Louis, Missouri.[6] Gustav Goelitz learned to make candy in America and was in business for himself by 1869 in Belleville, Illinois. Gustav Goelitz was joined by his brother, Albert, and together they sold handmade candies from a horse-drawn cart. The Goelitz name developed a reputation for quality confections as the brothers expanded operations. Fourth-generation Goelitz descendent, Herman G. Rowland, Sr. and his parents, Ernest Rowland and Aloyse Rowland (maiden name Goelitz) continued the expansion of the company's products on the west coast in Oakland, CA then moving to Fairfield, CA. The Herman Goelitz Candy Company (now Jelly Belly Candy Company) company was the first American manufacturer to make a gummy bear for the US market. They also made candy corn, mellocremes, gummi worms, and giant jelly beans. Confectioner Marinus van Dam was employed by the company to manage the plant and oversee new product development including Jelly Belly jelly beans, obtaining a candy manufacturing degree in the Netherlands. He emigrated to the United States and went to work for the Herman Goelitz Candy Company in the 1960s. He rose to the level of vice president before moving on to other companies and finally starting his own business, Marich Confectionery.

U.S. AD/CVD Updates: December 2020
A brief summary of recent developments and enforcement actions taken by the Commerce Department, U.S. International Trade Administration, and the U.S. International Trade Commission with regards to current antidumping and/or countervailing duty cases.
Passenger Tires: On Dec. 30, Commerce announced an affirmative preliminarily determination in the AD investigations of passenger vehicle and light truck tires from South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam after finding that that exporters in those countries have dumped the subject goods in the U.S. at rates of 14.24% to 38.07% (South Korea), 52.42% to 98.44% (Taiwan), 13.25% to 22.21% (Thailand), and up to 22.30% (Vietnam). Accordingly, Commerce CBP will be instructed to collect cash deposits based on the rates noted above. Commerce is scheduled to announce its final determinations in these cases on or about May 14, 2021. The ITC has previously determined that there is a reasonable indication of material injury to domestic producers.
Wood Mouldings and Millwork: On Dec. 29, Commerce announced affirmative final determinations in the AD and CVD investigations of wood mouldings and millwork products from China, as well as a negative final determination in the case of alleged dumping of the subject goods from Brazil. Commerce determined that Chinese exporters have dumped the subject goods into the U.S. at margins ranging from 44.60% to 230.36%, in addition receiving countervailable subsidies at rates ranging from 20.56% to 252.29%. The ITC is currently scheduled to make its final injury determinations on or about Feb. 11, 2021. Regarding such products imported from Brazil, having verified the zero-rate margin of dumping preliminarily determined on Aug. 5, Commerce issued a final negative determination confirming that the subject goods from that country are not currently being sold at less than fair value.
Phosphate Fertilizers: On Dec. 21, Commerce issued an amended preliminary determination of the CVD investigation concerning phosphate fertilizers imported from Morroco. The amendment corrects a number of significant "ministerial errors" in the original notice, with the result that the margin of subsidy has been adjusted downwards, from 23.46% to 16.88%. The change is retroactive to Nov. 30, 2020.
Chassis and Subassemblies: On Dec. 29, Commerce announced an affirmative preliminary determination in the CVD investigation of certain chassis and subassemblies thereof from China after finding that Chinese exporters/producers received countervailable subsidies at rates of 38.52%. CBP has been instructed to collect cash deposits at this rate, effective Jan. 4, 2021. Commerce is scheduled to announce its final determination in this case on or about March 16, 2021.
Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers: On Dec. 23, Commerce announced an affirmative preliminary determination in the AD investigation of walk-behind lawn mowers imported from China and Vietnam that have found to be unfairly dumped into the U.S. at rates ranging from 67.95% to 84.26%, and from 183.87% to 221.34%, respectively. CBP has therefore been instructed to collect cash deposits at those rates, effective Dec. 30. Commerce is scheduled to announce its final determinations in these cases on or about March 9, 2021. The ITC has previously determined there is a reasonable indication of material injury to the petitioner, MTD Products.
Twist Ties: On Dec. 4, Commerce announced it had preliminarily determined that twist ties from China are being dumped into the U.S. at an adjusted margin of 72.96%. Accordingly, CBP has been instructed to collect cash deposits at that rate effective Dec. 10. A preliminary affirmative CVD determination regarding the subject goods was made on Dec. 1, with a countervailable subsidy rate of 122.5% established. Commerce is scheduled to announce its final determination in this case on or about Feb. 17, 2021.
Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe: On Dec. 8, Commerce announced affirmative preliminary determinations in the CVD investigations of the subject goods from Russia and South Korea, finding that exporters from those countries received countervailable subsidies at rates of 4.39%, and 2.13%, respectively. Commerce is scheduled to announce its final CVD determinations in these cases on or about April 19, 2021, and the ITC is scheduled to make its final injury determinations on or about June 3, 2021.
Forged Steel Fluid End Blocks: On Dec. 8, Commerce announced affirmative final determinations in the AD investigations of the subject goods from Germany and Italy, and affirmative final determinations in the CVD investigations of same from China, Germany, India, and Italy. Commerce also announced a negative determination in the AD investigation of fluid end blocks from India. Exporters from Germany and Italy were determined to have dumped the subject goods at rates ranging from 3.82% to 70.84%, and up o 58.48%, respectively. Additionally, it was determined that exporters from China, Germany, India, and Italy received countervailable subsidies at the following rates: 16.8% to 337.07% (China); 5.86% to 14.81% (Germany); 5.2% (India); and 3.12% to 44.86% (Italy). The ITC is currently scheduled to make its final injury determinations on or about Jan. 21, 2021.
Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand: On Dec. 8, Commerce announced it has made a final determination that imports of prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) from several countries are being dumped into the U.S. at the following rates: 60.4% (Argentina), 86.09% (Colombia), 29.72% (Egypt), 30.86% (Netherlands), 194.4% (Saudi Arabia), 23.89% (Taiwan), 53.65% (Turkey), and 170.65% (United Arab Emirates).
Silicon Metal: On Dec. 8, Commerce announced affirmative preliminary determinations in the AD investigations of silicon metal from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Iceland. Commerce has preliminarily determined that exporters from those countries have dumped the subject goods in the U.S. at a rate of 21.41%, and at rates ranging from 37.83% to 47.54%, respectively.
Cigarettes: On Dec. 7, Commerce announced that it has made a final affirmative determination that so-called 4th tier cigarettes from South Korea are being, or are likely to be, dumped into the U.S. at a rate of 5.48%. CBP will therefore continue requiring cash deposits on the subject goods entered on or after July 22, 2020. The ITC has previously made an affirmative preliminary determination of material injury.

Portrait of a Man with a Falcon, also called Portrait of a Man of the Cornaro Family with a Falcon or Giorgio Cornaro with a Falcon, is an oil painting by the Italian painter Titian. It is variously dated from the late 1520s to the 1540s. The painting is in the collection of the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska.

History
The Joslyn Art Museum dates this portrait to the late 1520s and attributes it to Titian alone, although this attribution is not accepted by some modern scholars. According to Georg Gronau, it was painted in Titian's middle period, about 1530 to 1540.

The work was "sadly damaged" by the time it went to the United States in the early 1900s, and some students of Venetian art then thought it a copy. Charles Ricketts thought this impression was due mainly to the repainting, in brown, of the background, formerly grey, with the consequent weakening of the contours and falsifying of the shadows; and the reduction in the quality of the pigment by ironing or relining. Extensive conservation work was completed by senior conservator Mark Leonard at the Getty Museum in 2008.

Provenance

The picture was formerly in Castle Howard, Yorkshire. It was sold to the private collector E. F. Milliken of New York some time before 1904. The painting was purchased by the Josyln Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska in the early 1940s and has remained there since.

Description
Turning with animation to the right, the sitter is trying a falcon which he holds on his left hand. The head is slightly thrown back, the right side, together with the right hand, which is feeling the falcon, is placed in strong light. A neutral grey background, somewhat lighter close round the figure, sets in strong relief the form attired in black. The head of a pointer can be seen, just appearing in the left-hand lower corner, gazing up at his master.

Analysis
Although it is not known for certain, the subject of the painting may be Giorgio Cornaro the Younger (1517–1571), from the prominent Venetian Cornaro family; or possibly one of Titian's princely patrons, as the Duke of Mantua.

Tierney featured in both games earlier this season which saw Celtic comfortably overcome the Nordic side, but the Hoops full-back admitted he and his team-mates were expecting a greater challenge this time round.
"It's going to be different to the knockouts," he said.
"It will be much more open. The way we bounced back from that game was magnificent. We showed character that night and hopefully we don't do go behind this time, but if we do we know we can come back.
"We know what we're in for. We've played them and did our video analysis as well, I'm sure they have also, so it'll be a tough game.
"The start of the game will be important for us. We'll look to get out sharp, press well and hopefully get a few goals."

Brendan Rodgers was confident that Celtic could get their Europa League campaign off to a winning start, but he added that his team were expecting to face an even stronger Rosenborg side tonight.
"It's always a challenge and it doesn't matter how many times you play an opponent," he warned.
"You've seen that up here in the last two years. We can play a team six times a year and every game presents a different challenge.
"We've prepared well, they're a good team and we respect them and their qualities but we want to bring our game and our energy and hopefully start the group with three points.
"They're a good side and we'll always look to win our home games to give ourselves every opportunity. We get great support for all our games at home, particularly the European games. Hopefully we can start well tonight, your home games are always very important."

Verdens Gang ran comments from former Rosenborg winger Mini Jakobsen, who said:
"I can accept that you might try for a 0-0 away to Celtic, but we've learned with Rosenborg that they have to create chances themselves. They failed to create anything."
Read more: What the Norwegian media said about Celtic 1-0 Rosenborg
Rodgers:
'We were playing against a Rosenborg side who have won nine games and drawn two since we last faced them to they came with a real high level of confidence and they surprised us in the first 15 or 20 minutes by playing a diamond.
'But once we found the balance to defend against that we started to come into the game and created some chances, particularly down the left side.
'Without being at the top of our game we kept going and that's what I asked the players to do after the game last week.
'We have to find a way of winning when we are not playing as well as we would like and the players did that tonight.'

James Forrest:
We've played them five times in a year now and they've all been different types of games. Every one of them have been hard, but we've always done well. We've kept a few clean sheets now in the last number of games so we can build on that and start adding more goals.
"Celtic haven't won a group game in Europe for a while, so it's good to wipe away these negative records as well. It's not something we think about before a game but when you see it afterwards you can be happy that you've helped improve the record."

• Rosenborg's record against Austrian opposition is W3 D1 L4. Their one away win came in their only previous UEFA Europa League group game on Austrian soil – 2-1 at Rapid Wien on matchday one of 2012/13. They also defeated their Viennese opponents at home (3-2), but in their most recent tie against an Austrian club, in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League play-offs against Austria Wien, they lost both matches 2-1.
• Salzburg are undefeated in 14 European home games, winning ten. Their overall home record in the UEFA Europa League group stage is W14 D3 L5, the last defeat in the Stadion Salzburg coming on matchday three of the 2016/17 campaign – 0-1 against Nice.

It can certainly be claimed that the football could have been better. The matches were mostly closely contested games of attrition in which Rosenborg most often drew the long straw. In the Europa League, every single game was a brutal reminder that it is a long way up to the second-best level, possibly further than ever before. Rosenborg have won the league and are in the cup final, where they meet bottom of the league Strømsgodset on 2 December. Everything points to two out of two titles for them this year, in which case the club will have won the two trophies that it is in reality possible for Rosenborg to win. They will have cleaned up. Yet for all that, their critics are numerous and vocal.
The fact is that winning the league and possibly the cup is not good enough for the supporters or the directors. For any other Norwegian club, doing the double would have made for a fantastic season. But not for Rosenborg. They want more than that, and so they have set the bar for themselves at what may be an unreasonably high level and which they must almost inevitably fail to reach.

Assessing the evaluability of complex public health interventions: five questions for researchers, funders, and policymakers.

Evidence to support government programs to improve public health often is weak. Recognition of this "knowledge gap" has led to calls for more and better evaluation, but decisions about priorities for evaluation also need to be addressed in regard to financial restraint.
Using England's Healthy Community Challenge Fund as a case study, this article presents a set of questions to stimulate and structure debate among researchers, funders, and policymakers and help make decisions about evaluation within and between complex public health interventions as they evolve from initial concept to dissemination of full-scale intervention packages.
This approach can be used to identify the types of knowledge that might be generated from any evaluation, given the strength of evidence available in response to each of five questions, and to support a more systematic consideration of resource allocation decisions, depending on the types of knowledge required.
The principles of this approach may be generalizable, and should be tested and refined for other complex public health and wider social interventions.

2014 has brought us a total of 5 different models designed after Michael Jordan's high school "Laney". As we remember the year we got to witness the Retro 8 Laney as a GS exclusive, right after he pushed the Retro 1 Low, CP3, Retro 5 Laney " my personal favorite" and Retro 1 OG Laney. All of them had their respective place; but the Jumpman team like always saves the best for last, introducing the Retro 14 Low Laney.
Jordan takes us back to his high school days, and drives inspiration from a public traditional school located in the Tar Heel state North Carolina. Established in 1976 and better known for it's alumni Mike, who recently remodeled the school with a Jumpman Logo. Keeping the HS tradition the Retro always come with school spirit driving their school colors BLUE and GOLD. Keep both your eyes open to the sneaker culture, cause these might get Hyped within the last days of release.
Laney 14's will start of with a nubuck suede black upper and a premium suede varsity royal. Hints of Gold Yellow will be splashed on the back heel 3 separate Jumpman logos, and the tip of the tongue with engraved XIV as a roman numeral number 14. the back heel will drive an exotic sport tire material, commemorating the inspiration of the shoe the Ferrari. Closing with a white mid-sole for contrast.
Honoring your own high school with a shoe is just a major accomplishment, but releasing 5 in one year is Legendary. Don't miss out on the last Laney Jordan of the year. Again thanks for stopping by the Private_Blog, remember to Share, Like, and Comment. Stay Fresh !

EXPLORE A PROFILE
HELP (current)
Download the user guide to gain a deeper understanding of the information that lives in the Institutional Profile Path.
The enrollment section includes numbers for "Fall Enrollment" and "Annual Enrollment." Why are both provided?
Fall enrollment figures are the traditional measure employed by four-year colleges and universities in their enrollment reporting while the two-year institutions like community colleges traditionally report the annual enrollment figure. We include both to provide apples-to-apples analysis but default based on the type of institution to their traditional reporting standard.
Why are there different options for breaking down the data in different portions of the site?
Our ability to allow for the data to be broken down (by gender, for example) is based on the availability of that information. In general sources allow us to break down (disaggregate) the majority of our data based on age, gender and ethnicity. For two year institutions we extend in places to allow analysis by remedial status or Pell status. We will continue to add options in the future as our data providers add support for those options. If there are particular disaggregations you'd like to see supported, contact our offices.
The system says I'm looking at information from last year or even the year before in some cases. Why can't I see this year's information?
The best way to make sure information is available in the system for as many of the 300+ institutions in the state as possible is to collect it from the agencies and offices that those institutions report to. Unfortunately, the process of collecting, verifying and publishing those data takes time, so most of the state systems report data from the previous year and some of the federal systems another year behind that. The IPP is using the newest information publicly available and always looking for new sources of information that would be as reliable but even more up-to-date.
I've used other tools in the past to look at institutional data. Why use the IPP?
The IPP pulls together information that other sites don't (it already has integrated data from the Illinois Community College Board, the Illinois Board of Higher Education and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission in a way that no other site does), offers historical trend information that many sites don't, allows the data to be broken down (disaggregated) in ways that many sites don't, and will ultimately provide for searches by institution, professional interest area or individual demographics.
I know a state university has a campus near me. Why isn't is showing up when I search for it?
The federal system that the IPP uses for campus locations currently lists only the main campus location for each institution in the state, and so those are the only ones that are displayed on the search screen.
When I visit the web sites for institutions in the IPP sometimes I see information that looks different than I see here. Why?
The IPP displays information drawn from state and federal reporting systems and show the information that was submitted to those federal systems. In some cases the difference could be because the numbers were adjusated after being reported. In other cases the state or federal system might have asked for information that sounds the same, but is really a little different (see the FAQ regarding enrollment, for example.) The individual school's web site often will have more current information as well (see FAQ regarding data reporting year.) There are lots of potential reasons. Feel free to use the feedback button to report an issue if you think the data the IPP is reporting is in error - we consider the accuracy of our data to be one of our highest priorities, and investigate every report of a discrepancy.
How often is IPP data updated?
The IPP draws data from a variety of state and federal sources, each with its own publishing schedule(s). The IPP doesn't have a single annual or other regular update schedule, but is updated throughout the year as data updates become available.
Who do I contact if I (we) have additional questions about the IPP?
The simplest way is to use the FEEDBACK button that appears throughout the site whether you're asking a general question or wish to express praise or concern about some aspect of the site. The feedback systems is actively monitored by our staff.
I've read in your materials about additional paths being added to the system; one for exploring the data based on professional interests and one for exploring the data based on demographics. When will those be available?
Development timelines vary based on the availability of data sources and revisions to early designs based on stakeholder input. That being said, we hope to release the second path for the IPP in the winter of 2019-2020 and the third path later in the spring of 2020. Feel free to reach out to us as time progresses if you'd like additional information.
Have you been collecting feedback on the development of the IPP? If so, from whom?
The IPP development has included feedback from the participating state agencies and from a variety of stakeholder groups, including institutions whose data is in the system, public and private advocacy groups, and direct input from student and other potential user groups. If you represent an organization interested in participating in advisory or feedback collection processes for the IPP, use the FEEDBACK button to contact us and provide us your information.

Argentina's President Adopts Young Boy so He Won't Turn Into Werewolf
And turn everyone else into a werewolf either.
By Alanna Nunez
What did you do this weekend? Argentinian President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner adopted a young boy as her godson so he wouldn't turn into a werewolf and eat babies. Yes, really! (Kind of.)
It's actually part of a long-standing tradition stemming from Argentinian folklore that says the seventh son in families with no girls are doomed to turn into "el lobison," a werewolf who feeds on unbaptized babies and whose bites could turn others into werewolves. Belief in the legend was once reportedly so widespread that families were abandoning their seventh sons, giving them up for adoption, or killing them.
A law was passed in the 1920s to counteract the effect (the law was expanded in 2009 to include girls and non-Catholic children), and now, every year, the president formally adopts a boy or girl as his or her godchild, awarding him or her a medal, "presidential protection," and a scholarship to study until the godchild turns 21.
This year, Fernandez de Kirchner formally adopted Yair Tawil, a member of a Chabad-Lubavitch family, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. In 1993, Yair's parents reportedly wrote to the president asking for the honor and were denied, but this year, Yair wrote to Fernandez de Kirchner himself and got his wish, making him the first Jewish boy in Argentina to be officially adopted by the president.
Fernandez de Kirchner posted a photo of herself with Yair and his family lighting Hanukkah candles together (below) with a menorah, which Fernandez de Kirchner tweeted was a gift from Yair's family.

I have two different opposite answer to your question.

*

*The request has been submit to Google Issue Tracker site
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/213757358 . It means there isn't any way to implement it.

*But I have seen a sample where Hilt is integrated but I haven't tested it yet. So test it yourself.

Telstra expands 4G coverage in Newcastle
By Chris Jager on Apr 24, 2012 7:47AM
Telstra's 4G LTE network coverage is set to double in Newcastle. Find out if your town is included.
Telstra is preparing to roll out the second phase of its 1800Mhz LTE network in Newcastle (NSW), with the coverage area expected to more than double by the end of this year.
A number of new suburbs -- including Broadmeadow, Callaghan, Georgetown, Jesmond, Kotara East, Lambton, Mayfield, Mayfield West, Waratah and Waratah West -- will be added in the coming month.
Telstra Area General Manager Chris Cusack claimed that the network offered "some of the fastest mobile internet speeds available anywhere in the world". Typical download speeds are in the range of 2Mbps to 40Mbps. For uploads, the carrier says you can expect somewhere in the range of 1Mbps to 10Mbps.
"Since launching 4G in Newcastle last September, Telstra has quickly expanded its 4G product range to include advanced smartphones, a 4G tablet and three mobile broadband devices," Mr Cusack said in a statement. "...Soon customers will be able to enjoy 4G speeds on these devices in more places around Newcastle."
During its initial rollout, Telstra 4G was available in each capital city and 31 regional areas, but was limited to 5km from the centre in capitals and 3km from the centre in regional areas. Today, the network is available in more than 100 regional and metropolitan centres.
To give prospective customers a taste of its 4G network, Telstra is setting up a "4G experience zone" in Marketown Shopping Centre this week. Located directly outside the Telstra Store, the experience zone will give shoppers the opportunity to test 4G-enabled smartphones, tablets and mobile broadband devices.
If you want to look into your area in more detail, visit Telstra's 4G coverage area website.

How to engage an Architect for your project?
So, you want to build something, maybe your new vacation home or maybe a commercial establishment but do not know how and where to begin. You do have some idea of what you want but beyond that you are stuck and want someone professional to take you through the entire process of getting you vision to reality. Well an Architect will surely be able to help you with that an further may also result in a huge saving looking at all the factors.
Now comes the question of how to search for the right Architect and then how to engage one professionally. To get to that we first need to know some background on what and Architect mean and what does he do?
An Architect is a trained professional who undertakes the responsibility to conceptualize, design and later oversee the construction of built environments; these could be a residential standalone houses, a skyscraper, a football stadium or an entire city, any built structure which predominantly involves human interface, will see an Architect involved, in most cases.
What are the core responsibilities of an Architect and what services can I expect ?
Architect's responsibility will depend on your terms of hiring. If you want the Architect to take all the responsibility from start to end of the project, then a 'Comprehensive Architectural Services' package is what you should consider. In some cases, where you want an Architect to just take the lead on the first half of the project, basically to design and provide necessary construction documents and drawings but later you want to take off on your own, on the construction part of the project, then your would hire him on a 'Scope based Architectural Services' package.

(55e) Solar Absorption Cooling with Alkanes as Phase Change Energy Storage Medium
Conference: AIChE Spring Meeting and Global Congress on Process Safety
Proceeding: 2011 AIChE Spring Meeting and Global Congress on Process Safety
Group: University Research for Industry
University Research In the Field of Biomass/Renewables
Tuesday, March 15, 2011 - 11:15am-11:45am
Agyarko, L., University of Illinois at Chicago
Mansoori, G. A., University of Illinois at Chicago
In this talk we report our research and development activities in the development of a cooling system based on the photothermal solar energy utilization, phase change energy storage in alkanes and paraffin wax and development of a low temperature gradient absorption cooling cycle, the areas in which our research in the past has resulted with well-defined characterization methods. The performance parameters considered in our work are collector surface requirement [1], coefficient of performance (COP) [2, 3, 5], capacity and size of the storage medium for the cloudy days and evenings [4], heat duties of the evaporator, absorber, and condenser, refrigerant nature and concentration in the weak and strong solution [2, 3, 5], and flow rates of the weak solution and the flow rate of refrigerant passing through the evaporator. Considering the high cost of electricity and fossil fuels the absorption cooling system proposed is found economical for rural communities.

Your hunch was right, it is the Adriatic!
Abbazia is the Italian (and Hungarian) name for Opatija, a resort lying on the Gulf of Kvarner (Quarnero). It's in Croatia now, but in 1939 the region was a part of Italy (it was ceded to Yugoslavia after World War II).
Until the end of WWI, Abazzia had been in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was a stylish resort and very popular among Hungarians – even in the interwar period. Nowadays it's known for its old-world charm. It's beautiful!
I would never have guessed. It is one of those small things that gnaw on your mind. It's a great relief to have the answer.
Just did some map reading: Opatija looks like it is near what used to be Fiume which I think is now Rijeka. Is that right?
Yes, that's right. As you doubtless know, at the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Fiume (Rijeka) was Hungary's main port. The rail connection from Budapest to Fiume was excellent, and the tourists then went on to Abbazia (which actually lay in the Austrian half of the Empire, the border was just between the two places). Of course, between the two world wars the area belonged to Italy, but I imagine the rail connection from Budapest was still a direct one. Nowadays you have to change trains in Zagreb!!! I also have some old postcards from Abbazia (Opatija). I've spent several vacations just south of the resort, in a place called Moscenicka Draga. It's a beautiful coast (it's called the Liburnia Riviera), with pebble beaches, crystal-clear water, and a steep wooded mountain (Ucka, or Monte Maggiore) behind you.
I very much enjoyed reading about Erno.
Trieste is towards the upper left, Abbazia (Opatija) is the tagged place and Rijeka (Fiume) is a little below and right of Opatija. Venice is around the bend on the upper left, south and west of this view.
After World War I Trieste was given to Italy (one of the Allied powers during the war) and Fiume was given to Croatia as part of the newly formed Yugoslavia. Almost noone was happy about this arangement. Gabriele D'Annunzio led a famous attempt to capture Fiume for Italy in 1919 and Hungary was bitter over its loss. (My other grandfather, even after the second World War fumed over the loss of Fiume (pun intended)).
