Nice job on the clip. The stock one hits too far forward and the edge of the logo tends to drag on your pocket.
Eric called the model a Para Military 3 a few times in the video. Is it not just Para 3?
I usually adjust only one screw, usually starboard side as I'm right handed. However, adjusting both screws evenly would probably be more "correct."

Re: Manbug Salt - use for cutting braided fishing line?
The temptation was too much. One on the way. I was charged the full price of $121. Should have made a comment in the box to avoid the VAT, but didn't. You would think they would see that it is shipping to the US and not charge the Tax. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this one. How bad was shipping?

Re: 4 new knives all very dry.
I've noticed the most oil on models straight out of Seki. I don't recall seeing it on anything from Golden, but I'm probably wrong. Either way, I have yet to see a hint of corrosion on anything from Spyderco, even HAP40 and V-Toku.
Any word on the Delica shipping out or just the Endura?
The Delicas are supposed to leave Massdrop's warehouse around 3/27.
If you haven't disassembled a Delica before, I'd watch a video on it as the backspring can be slightly tricky the first time you reassemble a Delica.
I am still waiting on a translucent orange Manix (yellowish orange would be neat).
I see, thanks. I usually see who it was designed for but not who actually designed it. We're there any spyderco at the time in the catalog that had similar designs? Are you asking specifically about the reverse-S blade? If so, I'm not sure, but the Cricket may have been around at that time (2000).
Sal designed the Civilian for use by undercover police who could not carry a firearm in certain situations.

Todd Stern is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and a Distinguished Fellow at the World Resources Institute. He previously served as the Special Envoy for Climate Change at the State Department, leading the U.S. effort in negotiating the Paris Agreement.
ODP: You have remained active in the implementation of the Paris Agreement over the last two years. How are we doing now? Better or worse than you anticipated?
TS: COP 24 in Poland this past December was fundamentally about the implementation of Paris – completing the so-called "rulebook" of guidelines and rules meant to take Paris from being an agreement on paper to a working, operational regime. The result at COP 24 was quite good – better than I expected. The challenge was always going to be to put in place a rulebook that is robust enough to support ambition and that would not go backward from some of the key achievements of the Paris agreement, as some countries had wanted. The outcome in Poland was an important step forward, especially given the lack of U.S. participation at a senior, political level.
ODP: What is your view now about how China is doing on climate change?
TS: I think at the end of the day they did relatively well in the COP 24 negotiations. Beyond that, I think it's a mixed bag. For example, they have made impressive gains at home in deploying renewable energy and reducing their reliance on coal, but at the same time they are financing and building huge amounts of new coal power abroad in their "Belt and Road Initiative," which is completely inconsistent with meeting the Paris goals.
ODP: How do you assess climate politics now in the U.S.?
TS: Well, they're obviously bad at the level of the executive branch, given the posture of President Trump and his administration. And most Republicans in Congress still regard climate change as a third rail they're unwilling to touch. At the same time, state and local governments and civil society mobilized impressively after Trump's June 2017 announcement of his intention to withdraw from Paris. And recent polling indicates that Americans are getting more and more worried about climate change — which is hardly surprising after the steady drumbeat of both extreme events and recent reports about the dangers we're facing. Trump is obviously on the wrong side of history and also on the wrong side of the American people.
ODP: What do you think about the Green New Deal (GND)?
TS: The specifics will need to be worked out and those will be important. But I have high hopes for the GND. I think much of the framing is good and smart, connecting the action we need to take on climate change to large-scale economic development. Even more important, the GND is really the first initiative I've seen that recognizes the urgency of what we're facing and the scale and speed of action required to meet the threat.
ODP: How does the absence of U.S. presidential leadership hurt going forward?
TS: Our single biggest global problem on climate is a lack of political will around the world. We can do what we need to when it comes to innovation, policy, and financing. But the requisite will to get things done is missing. Leaders in most cases have not internalized the scale and speed of action we need. Solving this problem demands full-on U.S. leadership. That won't happen until we have a new president. And that is just what we in the U.S. — and the world — truly need.
Thanks so much, Todd! We agree with you that while the climate challenges we are up against are huge, the GND and progress in Poland on implementing the Paris Agreement are reasons to be hopeful.

COMMENTARY: Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt urges Congress to confirm Scott Pruitt as EPA chief
Mr. Pruitt is committed to following the rule of law and will faithfully enforce the environmental laws written by Congress to protect the waters and air of this great nation. Unlike his predecessor, however, he will not use the EPA to impose his ideological views about environmental regulation.
By ADAM LAXALT Special to the Review-Journal

As President-elect Donald Trump continues to select highly-qualified men and women to serve in his administration, I applaud his choice of my colleague, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Mr. Pruitt understands first-hand the real world consequences of the EPA's unconstitutional overreach and, because of this, is uniquely qualified to lead the agency and restore it to its original, lawful mission.
Mr. Pruitt knows all too well the dangers of a federal government that overregulates and oversteps its authority. As head of the EPA, he will be ready and willing to ensure that the federal bureaucracy stays within its lawful mission and protects our freedoms from federal overreach. I have witnessed first-hand his deep understanding of constitutional law and the federal regulatory system. I can think of no one better to lead this agency.
Having an advocate at the EPA who understands the rule of law and the separation of powers between the individual states and the federal government will benefit us all as a nation. I'm confident that Mr. Pruitt will strike the right balance between protecting the environment while also allowing for responsible development of our natural resources.
I was happy to join Mr. Pruitt, along with 17 other attorneys general, to successfully block the EPA's attempt to harass America's farmers and ranchers by redefining the term "navigable" waters under the Clean Water Act. Mr. Pruitt and I recognized that the Obama administration was attempting to ignore the rule of law and unilaterally change our constitutional system.
Moreover, the Obama administration's new, more expansive definition would have devastated economic growth. As the top law enforcement officials in our respective states, we have been committed to the fight against federal government overreach and oppressive regulations that threaten our freedom and livelihood.
Mr. Pruitt understands that a one-size-fits-all approach to regulation is not suitable when imposing environmental rules on the states. Take the sage grouse issue, where my office has been fighting back against the federal government's attempt to lock up millions of acres of land in Nevada. The government is simply unwilling to hear the many Nevada experts and stakeholders who have spoken against this plan and has refused to consider how it would impact Nevadans. Nevada's suit mirrors Mr. Pruitt's trailblazing lesser prairie chicken litigation.
I have stood with Mr. Pruitt on issues where the federal government has overstepped its bounds. With him as EPA administrator, I know we would have a steady hand at the wheel willing to work with the states to apply sensible and practical solutions that address these important issues.
Critics wrongly assert that Mr. Pruitt is in the pocket of "Big Oil" and will singlehandedly dismantle the EPA and allow companies to pollute the nation's streams and air. This line of attack by fringe environmental groups is a mere scare tactic to sully a man they believe will no longer use the EPA to impose their climate change agenda at the expense of common sense and the will of Congress.
Mr. Pruitt is committed to following the rule of law and will faithfully enforce the environmental laws written by Congress to protect the waters and air of this great nation. Unlike his predecessor, however, he will not use the EPA to impose his ideological views about environmental regulation. Instead, he will work in concert with Congress to forge consensus.
America would be well-served with Scott Pruitt leading the Environmental Protection Agency. I urge the U.S. Senate to confirm his appointment.
Adam Laxalt, a Republican, is Nevada's attorney general.

Diverse Get-together in Berlin – LGBT+ Tech Week
In 2019, Boxcryptor was all about diversity. As part of a diversity training course, we reviewed our entire application process to see whether our website and web texts really appealed to everyone – as desired. We got support from an expert, read books, and discussed the topic in the team.
For us, it was obvious that we would also send someone to the LGBT+ Tech Week in Berlin. After all, we want to know what's new in diversity management in the technology industry. So our support colleague Yasmin was on her way to sneak a peek and find out what other tech companies are doing, to create an LGBT+ friendly environment for their team.
LGBT+ is an abbreviation for people who do not correspond to heteronormativity. This refers to a society which is based on the binary gender order and in which the anatomical gender is equated with gender identity. Lesbians, gays, trans people, intersexual or asexual people deviate from this norm and therefore experience discrimination in many places. They are confronted with reservations because all "deviant" aspects of human sexuality are pathologized.
Boxcryptor and LGBT+
Boxcryptor is one of the companies that tries to create a working environment in which members of the LGBT+ community can feel comfortable and develop without reservations. For us, this clear statement falls within the area of diversity management, because we are convinced that we offer a better product and create better jobs if we let as many people as possible with different perspectives work on Boxcryptor.
Aware of the importance of this attitude, our management has also signed the Charter of Diversity. All other diversity management measures are listed on our page on diversity.
What is the LGBT+ Tech Week in Berlin?
The LGBT+ Tech Week was organized by the UHLALA Group. With various projects and apps, LGBT+ offers people the opportunity to network and develop professionally. Several events per month in big cities like Berlin, Frankfurt or Munich promote the exchange of the community. One example is the LGBT+ Tech Week in Berlin, which took place from September 9 to 15.
Which Measures Help LGBT+ People in Their Daily Work?
In addition to talks, sessions and get-to-know games, the five major executive partners of LGBT+ Tech Week played a decisive role. Every evening, members of a partner company talked about their own diversity management and how LGBT+ offers people a pleasant working atmosphere. For example, some of them made very good experiences with setting up an extra budget for LGBT+ networking, for meetings or training sessions, for example. One participant reported that she had had good experiences with reacting immediately to negative comments, asking questions and explaining.
But why does sexual orientation or gender identity play such an important role in everyday professional life? The answer is simple: if you have to hide your identity from others in the team or act in order not to attract attention, you are inhibited in your free development. Especially in such creative industries as IT and technology, this leads to professional disadvantages. Effects on other areas of life are then only a matter of time.
The audience of the LGBT+ Tech Week was mainly members of the LGBT+ community. Almost all of them originally came from other countries and had found a place in Berlin where they could live freely and largely untroubled. Many reported that the city is very liberal compared to their countries of origin (e.g. Ukraine, USA, Singapore or Venezuela). Accordingly, there are many companies in Berlin that are open to LGBT+ people. The start-up mentality, which can often be found in medium-sized companies and corporations in Berlin, promotes this additionally.
Our Yasmin especially enjoyed the open and friendly atmosphere. A great comfort factor was that everyone knew that the others in the room had similar experiences. Everyone was equally welcome, equally important and equally appreciative of each other.
Nobody asks if you are gay or lesbian, because it doesn't matter.
(Yasmin from Boxcryptor)
In any case, we are very happy that our colleague did not leave us instantly to move to Berlin. She was so enthusiastic about the culture she experienced at the participating companies of the LGBT+ Tech Week in Berlin that she would have applied if she hadn't been at Boxcryptor. That's why the urgent recommendation to the LGBT+ community comes out at this point: Go to Tech Week in Berlin if you want to develop yourself professionally!
Diversity in companies
The five evenings with the Executive Partners were all about diversity in tech. Signavio, METRONOM, Spark Networks, Productsup and Flixmobility unanimously reported on how diversity is seen as added value from an entrepreneurial perspective. The speakers, for example, assumed that the value of a company increases, the more diverse the workforce is, because both corporate communications and marketing, and the product will improve. Accordingly, better sales figures are achieved.
By the way, this assumption can also be proven by studies and can therefore be used excellently as an argument to tackle the issue of diversity in one's own company, from an economic point of view.
Sessions, Pitches, Breaks and Slots
Some testimonials of those present were especially memorable. Signavio, for example, dealt with data mining, the collection of data from publicly available sources in social networks. The company presented how they manage to read a person's sexual orientation from their entries.
Storm Hurwitz, data analyst for the New York Times, reported how he came to the newspaper as a gay man. He raved about how well he could integrate into the editorial staff and be himself at the same time. That was a moving report.
At Spark Networks, the topic was dating platforms. The company addresses different target groups with different apps. The question of the evening was: How to optimize landing pages for different target groups?
Another fun slot was pitching time, during which either individuals or companies introduced themselves to their vacancies.
Conclusion of the LGBT+ Tech Week 2019 in Berlin
As soon as the date of the next Tech Week is announced, we will book our train tickets. Do I have to say more? Yasmin came back from Berlin happy and relaxed. We are happy about the impressions she brought back from the industry. She has made some new contacts, which she now maintains on a regular basis.
All information about the LGBT+ Tech Week in Berlin can be found here. The photos have been published with the kind permission of the Uhlala Group.

EXCLUSIVE: Sonia Kruger reveals exactly how she maintains her enviable figure, plus opens up about her infertility heartache
Since her strictly ballroom breakout role to prime-time TV presenter, Sonia Kruger has come full circle. She talks about dancing as meditation, overcoming anxiety and becoming a mum later in life.
By Paul Ewart
She first found fame as the sequin-clad dance champion, Tina Sparkle, in Baz Luhrmann's 1992 smash hit Strictly Ballroom.
And since her big screen breakout, Sonia Kruger went on to prove beyond doubt that she's much more than a one-trick pony. In fact, the talented triple threat has cha-cha'd her way to the top of Australia's TV pile.
Through a career spanning more than 35 years she's fronted an A to Z of prime-time gigs, from Dancing With the Stars and The Voice, to Big Brother, and most recently, Today Extra.

But paralleling these stellar career highs have been epic personal lows, including a divorce, the death of her beloved dad, and a hard-won battle to become a mum.
And while other women may have turned to meditation, yoga or similar coping methods during tough times, the bubbly presenter tells us that she has her own approach to finding inner peace.
"I love to make people dance," laughs the 54-year-old, flashing her trademark grin.
"That sounds weird, but I think that when people dance they tend to forget about everything else, you know? You don't feel like you're exercising or working out, you're just in that moment enjoying it. To lose yourself – and your worries – swinging around your living room and just cutting loose. It's that whole 'dance like no one is watching' theory."
Almost like a 'Zen and the art of dancing'? suggests Good Health.
"Yes, exactly!" agrees Sonia.
Sonia Kruger's favourite form of exercise is dance. Good Health
In a case of life imitating art, Sonia's role on Strictly Ballroom was the result of a longtime obsession with dance, which began in her native Brisbane at the tender age of four.
The naturally gifted athlete went on to specialise in ballroom and Latin American dance, ultimately representing Australia at the Amateur British Ballroom Championships and was the Australian Ballroom, Latin and New Vogue Professional Champion.
And now, Sonia is going back to where it all began, returning to her first love with the launch of her new dance program, Strictly You.
Love of dancing
"It really feels like I've come full circle," she nods.
"It's funny, after Strictly I kind of ended up moving into the world of television. I didn't step away from dancing, so much as my career kind of took me away from it. I realised that I love and miss this so much."
Two years in the making, Sonia has teamed up with some of Australia's best choreographers, nutritionists and professional trainers to create the dance-based fitness and nutrition program.
Already well-received by thousands of women – all keen to emulate Sonia's rock-hard abs – members get daily full body workouts set to motivating dance tracks, each taking less than 25 minutes to complete, making it perfect for time-poor busy mums.
"That's the other thing," she agrees. "Being a mother, it's often really hard to find the time to get to a gym. You always feel better after you've been and done a workout – there's no doubt about that – but a lot of effort is required to actually go to the gym. With these workouts you can do them in the comfort of your own home and play them off your phone, laptop or smart TV."
Her new fitness program contains meal plans as well as exercise videos. Good Health
State-of-the-art nutrition advice and meal plans is also a key part of Strictly You and – just like the choreography – the diet component of the program has been inspired by Sonia's experiences and eating habits.
"I'm probably like most people where I go through stages where I say to myself, 'You know what? I'm having a cocktail' or 'I'm gonna eat the treats,'" admits the blonde beauty.
"But as I've gotten older, my body tells me if I've been doing the wrong thing. I'll know if I've had a bad week of overindulging, whether it's food or wine or whatever.
"I think once you get into that 40-plus bracket, you're almost forced to take better care of yourself – you can't handle it the way you used to. When I was younger I could party all night and be fine the next day. But now, forget it!"
The 54-year-old has one daughter, Maggie. Good Health
Previously referencing dance as a moving meditation, Sonia has other tools in her wellbeing arsenal to help when life has thrown challenges in her path, be it divorcing her former husband of six years in 2008, or losing her father, Adrian, in 2015.
"I think when you're under that pressure in live television – and I've been doing that for a long time – I think you tend to have that 'the show must go on' mentality," she muses.
"I think I've always been fairly resilient, but I've had moments of anxiety and I have experienced panic attacks. For me, that usually happens in the middle of the night. Thankfully, they have been few and far between. Usually something extreme has triggered them, like when my father died. I suffered a lot of anxiety through that time.
"I found that talking to people about it was the best thing I could do. I'm lucky I've got some great friends who are like therapists by proxy. And I've got a great family that I pick up the phone to talk to at any time of the day or night. I think the best advice I can give to anybody who is feeling overwhelmed in any way is to speak to somebody about it."
Sonia was able to conceive her daughter with the generosity of a donor egg from a friend. Good Health
Another key factor in Sonia's wellbeing strategy is gratitude – when the going gets tough, she gets grateful.
"I really believe that you just have to stop and remember to be grateful," she says.
"When I was trying to conceive Maggie it was one of those times when I was faced with the decision of whether I should stop trying to become pregnant and go through life without a child, or continue to try. At that point I had to remind myself to be grateful for all of the things I did have. There are so many people in the world who have had to endure far more than I ever have – and not having a child is not the worst thing that can happen to a person in life. I've been really lucky, very privileged, and I think it's important to remember that."
Though she and her partner (Channel 7 executive producer, Craig McPherson) had a reached a stage of acceptance, luckily fate had other plans and their daughter, Maggie – now aged four – was born by caesarean in January 2015.
But motherhood was hard-won for Sonia. Previously falling pregnant naturally – but tragically suffering several miscarriages – she then turned to IVF at the age of 45, eventually becoming pregnant after a close friend donated an egg.
WATCH BELOW: See Sonia Kruger hosting Big Brother back in 2013. Story continues after video.
A new focus
It's clear Maggie is now the centre of the former The Voice host's world – her eyes lighting up as she talks about her little girl.
However, as open and honest as she is about exercise and healthy eating, Sonia is equally frank about her decision to become a mum later in life.
"My career was my focus all through my twenties and thirties," she admits.
"My sister had kids when she was young and, in a way, because we are so close in age – it was almost aversion therapy!" she chuckles.
"I saw her work so hard having three small children all under five. And I thought: 'Wow! I want to travel and have a good time.' I had all these grand plans about the life I wanted to live – it was all 'bright lights and Hollywood' for me then.
"It wasn't until I was in my late thirties that I felt that change, which I imagine is what they call your 'biological clock'. I started to feel my attitude towards having children changing when I was in my late-thirties.
"And then, because I had been through a marriage breakup and was then in a new relationship, it meant that I was then at an age when physically it wasn't likely to work out. But as it turned out, it did! It's strange how the universe operates sometimes."
Not that motherhood has impacted on the go-getter's career.
Late last year Sonia made headlines across the country after announcing live on air that she was jumping ship from Channel Nine to Seven. Poised to return in March she's keen to get stuck into a fresh line-up of shows.
"I can't wait to get started at Seven," she exclaims.
"I had a great time at Nine and worked on some brilliant shows there. But to be given the opportunity to do some new things – to be a judge on Australia's Got Talent and to work on the Olympics – is amazing."
The ability to adapt to new shows and formats is undoubtedly the secret behind Sonia's 35-year career, and it's a skill that will no doubt see her through another 35 years.
Not that you'd be able to tell. Another hallmark is her youthful looks.
At just six years shy of 60, her skin is flawless and line-free.
"It's really weird, but I keep forgetting how old I am," giggles the age-defying TV presenter.
"When you said, '54', I was like, 'I'm what?' It doesn't compute in my head because I feel like I'm still 24. Well, more 34, actually. At 24 I was too young to know anything!
"I was talking about this with a friend the other day," she says.
"It's like you spend your twenties and thirties accumulating stuff – wanting to have that car, or that house, or that holiday. But as you get older, you realise that material possessions aren't important – it's about how you've lived your life, the love you've had in your life, and the legacy that you leave behind."
Sage-like advice indeed and clearly it runs in the family, as Sonia references her dad's take on ageing.
"My dad loved that song, Young at Heart. It's like you'll never be old if you're young at heart. There are old folks who will be up dancing at a party until the very end. I hope that's what I'll be like when I'm 80.
"There's a quote I heard a few years ago that has stuck with me – 'Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we may as well dance'. I definitely want to be that crazy old lady, who is out there having a good time, surrounded by friends and family, doing a cha-cha with my artificial hip!"

Sonia's go-to healthy meal: Steamed fish and veggies
"My go-to kitchen device has to be my steamer – it's one of the greatest things that's ever been invented! Greens are something we can't get enough of, so for a quick and healthy meal, I love to whack a combination of broccoli, zucchini and carrots in the steamer," she says.
"At the same time I'll cook an easy form of protein – a piece of salmon baked in the oven, or prawns – which are not too calorific – stir-fried quickly. Then I'll season simply and add a squeeze of lemon juice. I keep things very simple, otherwise it doesn't fit into my schedule."

Macquarie Group named in Stonewall's top 100 employer list
London, 19 January 2017
Macquarie Group has been named a top 100 employer in Stonewall's Workplace Equality Index 2017 for the second consecutive year.
The Index, an annual audit of workplace culture for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) staff, is a tool that helps organisations measure performance and progress on LGBT equality. Rankings are based on policy, staff engagement and career development.
Jumping to 51st place, up from 93rd in 2016, Macquarie has demonstrated its commitment to diversity through inclusive programmes and events, senior leader sponsorship and resources aimed to educate and support LGBT employees and their colleagues in the workplace. Macquarie also works with other financial services organisations to promote and share LGBT equality best practice, learning from and contributing to the broader community.
Over 430 employers submitted entries to the 2017 Index in total, the highest number since the Index first launched in 2005.
David Fass, Chief Executive Officer, EMEA, Macquarie Group, said: "We're proud to be a top 100 LGBT employer for the second year in a row. Creating a truly inclusive environment, where each person can bring their whole selves to work, is paramount. We value everyone's contribution and want to empower our people to be fully engaged in their roles, whatever their background."
Duncan Bradshaw, Director of Membership Programmes, Stonewall said: "Macquarie Group and all those who have made this year's Top 100 Employers list have done a fantastic job, and really do put equality and inclusion at the forefront of their work. We were thrilled to have 439 submissions for this year's Index, one of the most competitive yet, and I would like to thank each and every organisation that took part. With your continued efforts and hard work, we will continue to work toward a world where all lesbian, gay, bi and trans staff are welcomed and accepted without exception in their workplaces."

Fed Moves Toward Another Big Rate Increase as Inflation Lingers
WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve, determined to choke off rapid inflation before it becomes a permanent feature of the American economy, is steering toward another three-quarter-point interest rate increase later this month even as the economy shows early signs of slowing and recession fears mount.
Economic data suggest that the United States could be headed for a rough road: Consumer confidence has plummeted, the economy could post two straight quarters of negative growth, new factory orders have sagged and oil and gas commodity prices have dipped sharply lower this week as investors fear an impending downturn.
But that weakening is unlikely to dissuade central bankers. Some degree of economic slowdown would be welcome news for the Fed — which is actively trying to cool the economy — and a commitment to restoring price stability could keep officials on an aggressive policy path.
Inflation measures are running at or near the fastest pace in four decades, and the job market, while moderating somewhat, remains unusually strong, with 1.9 available jobs for every unemployed worker. Fed policymakers are likely to focus on those factors as they head into their July meeting, especially because their policy interest rate — which guides how expensive it is to borrow money — is still low enough that it is likely spurring economic activity rather than subtracting from it.
Minutes from the Fed's June meeting, released Wednesday, made it clear that officials are eager to move rates up to a point where they are weighing on growth as policymakers ramp up their battle against inflation.
The central bank will announce its next rate decision on July 27, and several key data points are set for release between now and then, including the latest jobs numbers for June and updated Consumer Price Index inflation figures — so the size of the move is not set in stone. But assuming the economy remains strong, inflation remains high and glimmers of moderation remain far from conclusive, a big rate move may well be in store.
The Fed chair, Jerome H. Powell, has said that central bankers will debate between a 0.5- or 0.75-percentage-point increase at the coming gathering, but officials have begun to line up behind the more rapid pace of action if recent economic trends hold.
"If conditions were exactly the way they were today going into that meeting — if the meeting were today — I would be advocating for 75 because I haven't seen the kind of numbers on the inflation side that I need to see," Loretta J. Mester, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, said during a television interview last week.
The Fed raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points in June, its first move of that size since 1994 and one fueled by a growing concern that fast inflation had failed to fade as expected and was at risk of becoming a more permanent feature of the economy.
While the big increase came suddenly — investors did not expect such a large change until right before the meeting — policymakers have begun to signal earlier on in the decision-making process that they are in favor of going big in July.
Part of the amped-up urgency may stem from a recognition that the Fed is behind the curve and trying to fight inflation when interest rates, while rising quickly, remain relatively low, economists said.
"It is starting to look like 75 is the number," said Michael Feroli, the chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Chase. "We'd need a serious disappointment for them to downshift at this meeting."
Fed interest rates are now set to a range of 1.5 to 1.75 percent, which is much higher than their near-zero setting at the start of 2022 but still probably low enough to stoke the economy. Officials have said that they want to "expeditiously" lift rates to the point at which they begin to weigh on growth — which they estimate is a rate around 2.5 percent.
The way they see it, "with inflation being this high, with the labor market being this tight, there's no need to be adding accommodation at this point," said Alan Detmeister, a senior economist at UBS who spent more than a decade as an economist and section chief at the Fed's Board of Governors. "That's why they're moving up so aggressively."
Central bankers know a recession is a possibility as they raise interest rates quickly, though they have said one is not inevitable. But they have signaled that they are willing to inflict some economic pain if that is what is needed to wrestle inflation back down.
Mr. Powell has repeatedly stressed that whether the Fed can gently slow the economy and cool inflation will hinge on factors outside of its control, like the trajectory of the war in Ukraine and global supply chain snarls.
For now, Fed officials are unlikely to interpret nascent evidence of a cooling economy as a surefire sign that it is tipping into recession. The unemployment rate is hovering near the lowest level in 50 years, the economy has gained an average of nearly 500,000 jobs per month so far in 2022 and consumer spending — while cracking slightly under the weight of inflation — has been relatively strong.
Meanwhile, officials have been unnerved by both the speed and the staying power of inflation. The Consumer Price Index measure picked up by 8.6 percent over the year through May, and several economists said it probably continued to accelerate on a yearly basis into the June report, which is set for release on July 13. Omair Sharif, the founder of Inflation Insights, estimated that it could come in around 8.8 percent.
"You do probably get a few months of moderation after we get this June report," he said.
The Fed's preferred inflation measure, the Personal Consumption Expenditures index, may have already peaked, economists said. But it still climbed by 6.3 percent over the year through May, more than three times the central bank's 2 percent target. Many households are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of housing, food and transportation.
While there are encouraging signs that inflation might slow soon — inventories have built up at retailers, global commodity gas prices have fallen this week and consumer demand for some goods may be beginning to slow — those indicators may do little to comfort central bankers at this stage.
Inflation F.A.Q.
Card 1 of 5
What is inflation? Inflation is a loss of purchasing power over time, meaning your dollar will not go as far tomorrow as it did today. It is typically expressed as the annual change in prices for everyday goods and services such as food, furniture, apparel, transportation and toys.
What causes inflation? It can be the result of rising consumer demand. But inflation can also rise and fall based on developments that have little to do with economic conditions, such as limited oil production and supply chain problems.
Is inflation bad? It depends on the circumstances. Fast price increases spell trouble, but moderate price gains can lead to higher wages and job growth.
Can inflation affect the stock market? Rapid inflation typically spells trouble for stocks. Financial assets in general have historically fared badly during inflation booms, while tangible assets like houses have held their value better.
The Fed has been repeatedly disappointed by false dawns. Officials had hoped that inflation peaked last summer, only to watch it reaccelerate into the fall. They have been receiving regular Wall Street predictions that it might be reaching its zenith, but those have yet to prove correct.
And Fed officials increasingly worry that they need to prove their commitment to pushing prices lower. If Americans come to believe that inflation will remain high year after year — if inflation expectations shift, in Fed parlance — they might demand bigger wage increases to cover those anticipated costs. In turn, businesses might make a habit of continually charging more to cover the bigger wage bills, creating a cycle of rising prices.
That would make inflation even more difficult — and more painful — to stamp out.
Many officials at the June meeting of the Fed's policy-setting committee "judged that a significant risk now facing the committee was that elevated inflation could become entrenched if the public began to question the resolve of the committee to adjust the stance of policy as warranted," according to the minutes released on Wednesday.
That is part of the rationale behind the Fed's rapid rate path. Officials have signaled that they expect to push rates up to about 3.4 percent by the end of the year as they try to choke off price increases. They could achieve that by raising rates by 0.75 percentage points at their coming July meeting, 0.5 percentage points in September and 0.25 percentage points in November and December, for instance.
"What you would like to do, if we can, is nip inflation in the bud before it gets entrenched in the economy," James Bullard, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, said during a presentation in Zurich on June 24.
That is also the logic for making big moves sooner rather than later. Charles L. Evans, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, told reporters a few days earlier that a 0.75 percentage point move in July was "a very reasonable place to have a discussion" and would be likely unless inflation began moderating.
The Fed will have new information by the time of its July meeting, but the central bank may prove less sensitive than usual to incoming data in today's environment. Minor updates might do little to change a picture in which price increases have been going gangbusters for months on end and officials believe expectations of rising inflation could lurch out of control.
"The data they're responding to has been accumulating over the past year," said Mr. Feroli of JPMorgan. "It was realizing that, over the past year, they missed the boat on inflation."

Thanks to Kate for turning on comments again.
Its been a busy 2 months for us. I toured a school not on my original list and turned in our application last week. I haven't had a chance to add my school tour notes but here is a summary with my list.
A quick summary shows that our top choices are small schools, Middle School Feeders also affected our choice. Afterschool care cost also a factor, any afterschool care run by the CDCs at the school would be in the $460 range for us, and that would be difficult for us at this time.
Sanchez: Our top choice. It is easy to get to on Muni for us (we are close to Market Street and the F runs frequently enough). My husband and I toured separately and both were very impressed with the principal Dr. Isola. The FLES (Foreign Language in Elementary School) program is a big draw for us. We didn't think full immersion is right for our son but 3 hours a week we think will be great. The api scores do not bother us, our visits to the school show a dedicated staff and happy students who are learning and respectful. They have dance, gardening/science, computer, library time for all grades. I also think that this is a school we can get into in the first round which is a big deal for us. The afterschool care is open to all students and at this time is free to all students, which is huge for us. I feel I need to write up a longer review of this school which is one I hear referred to frequently as a terrible school, and I saw nothing on my tour that makes it terrible (except api). The one con is the start time 7:50, but with it being so easy to get to and not out of the way for my husband or I to get to work and drop our younger son at daycare it is doable. Everett is the feeder Middle School, I do like to think of my children in schools next to each other when the older one moves into Middle School. 2 GE K classes, 1 Spanish Bilingual K, 1 special Ed class (K, 1, 2). There is a PTA and all goals are posted in the school corridors, along with art, poetry and essays by the children.
Harvey Milk: I love the small size and huge parent/community involvement. Work on a water garden was in progress when we visited. We visited many classrooms and had Q&A with the 5th Graders. It is a little more difficult for us to get to on public transportation, but still doable with a later start time of 9:20 (or is it 9:30?). Afterschool care asks for an $80 donation a month. The principal is new to the school in 2011 and met with the touring parents. Everett is the Middle School from the Feeder plan. 2 GE K classes.
McKinley: This seems like a fantastic school as well with a huge parent/community involvement. Early start time 7:50am. Quite a few afterschool options, including language and reasonable cost around $230, but if you mix the programs it will cost a little more. E.g. Language is Monday to Thursday, if you need additional care on Friday you can pay extra. The principal met with the touring parents at the beginning of the tour. Putting this school down was a long shot as it is oversubscribed AND we didn't put it first. It is also not that easy to get to on public transportation, parking is pretty difficult (I got a ticket on the tour), I'm not sure if there is a rolling drop off like some other schools had. Everett is also the Middle School on this and from what I overheard on tour parents are not happy about this. 3 K GE classes.
Daniel Webster: Our Assignment area school. Again small school, but only 1 K class out of 3 is GE. ISA is the feeder Middle school, but it is also a High School. I'm not happy with that. This is also not as easy to to get to for us, however the start time is great 8:40.
Bessie Carmichael: 4 K classes, the school just seemed too big. It also seems disorganized. My first tour which I scheduled early in the search process was not successful as either the office had not notified the principal or they did not notify me that he was not available. So it was a bit of a panic when I showed up. The parent liason stepped up to show me the school but was unable to answer most of my questions regarding education/discipline. On my second tour which was led by the Vice Principal we only saw the K classes, I thought this was odd as on every other tour I have been welcome in all classrooms. But I do know that other schools do not do this either. I just didn't get a sense that this would be a good place for my son. I wanted to love this school, however the size and the afterschool fees (CDC) are just not a fit for us.
Tenderloin Community: I posted a review for this school and I did really like it. But 4 K classes seems too big, the Feeder school is Francisco which is also a negative for us due to location.
I'm really happy with our choices, I'm was also pleasantly surprise after all the negative things I've heard about the SFUSD schools to have seen such great schools, everyone that we visited had teachers who had the children engaged in learning. All of the children seemed to be learning the same things when we visited. This was not as daunting as I first thought.
Good luck everyone, and if you have feedback on my selections please share.
2 quick comments -- McKinley starts at 7:50, not 8:50.
ALSO, not listing a school first does not actually change your chances of getting it. A lottery is run for each school, and if you get "picked" for >1 school, you'll get the one you gave higher priority to.
So, if McKinley is my 5th choice, I could still get it, even if someone else put it 1st.
thank you for clarifying the time. I did know it was 7:50 but must have been typing too fast.
In the lottery I had a total misconception of how it is run, so many of the numbers that come from SFUSD show total choices for schools and first choice for schools that I assumed that your 1st choice did matter.
MJ -- yeah, I have always found it misleading that SFUSD publishes how many people have put a school as their first choice.
Given the way the lottery works, you should put down all the schools you might like, in the order of your preference, and then let the computers do their thing!
Thanks for the post! I also was very pleasantly surprised by the SFUSD schools that I visited, and I also hear so many wonderful things about other schools that we didn't consider because of their location or some other reason. It seems as if there are plenty of good options. That said, I did end up getting my heart set on a school (a citywide program), which seems likely to lead to disappointment!
Thanks for the post. It is really informative. Also, it's great to hear such enthusiasm for Sanchez. The principal seems really involved and committed to the school.
Hi MJ, it is a wonderful strategy to find a school that you love and that is under the radar and obtainable in Round 1. I haven't heard much about Sanchez, but I do know that many fifth grade families are putting Everett on their list this year, some as first choice, so it is possible that Sanchez will be feeding into a coveted middle school by the time your child reaches sixth grade.
"I assumed that your 1st choice did matter" Isn't it the case, though, that it does matter in regards to attendance area priority. I heard from another mom, but one only gets attendance area priority, if the school is listed 1st. Anybody know if that is correct? Lots of good luck and good lottery karma sent your way!!! Your list sounds great.
It is my understanding that you can have your attendance area school anywhere on your list and you should get the tiebreaker for your neighborhood school. So the district has said that you can put your neighborhood school anywhere on your list and you should get priority. Hope that helps.
Good to know! Thanks for clarifying.
You should consider schools that have bus routes that go to or are near the various Boys and Girls Clubs of San Francisco. The Columbia Park clubhouse has many school buses that arrive at its door. There may even be a safewalk from nearby school-Sanchez, Milk?
The membership is $10 per year with access to a whole range of afterschool activities. Your child needs to be 6 so you may have to pay for aftercare at the school until he is old enough.
I'm posting here, b/c Harvey Milk leads to this thread. I just want to recommend that people consider Milk. It is a small (only 250 students), warm school, with dedicated teachers, nice building, safe neighborhood and great community. It is a late start school with free before and after school care.
1:25, any perspectives on this article here by Carol Lloyd that portrays Harvey Milk as not being thrilled by potential gentrification of its school?
For parents of African American students, Harvey Milk has one of the highest 2012 API scores for African American students of all SFUSD elementary schools, 744 vs 627 for SFUSD overall. Edison was even higher at 796.
That article made me sad, but a lot in there is not unfamiliar. The school we're at was in the same position -- improving scores lead to the loss of STAR funding, which caused strain, especially as it dovetailed with big budget cuts tied to the economy. Very similar sounding situation to what the author described in terms of the tension and the charges of racism and entitlement at well meaning but not all-knowing or all-understanding middle school parents. Change is really hard for almost everyone and change can feel threatening. And that kind of tension - especially when it can be felt by families between other families and a principal or administration creates real unease. But I suspect Harvey Milk will both get more gentrified (more because of SF housing costs/living expenses and the school's proximity to the Genentech/Google bus route) and will also get more stable. There will be people who step in to fund raise. And the school dynamics will likely change as the population there shifts. Maybe that fundraising will not isolate or divide the community as much - it doesn't always seem to, but seems more common at schools undergoing significant demographic change. It would be interesting to get a related perspective at New Traditions, which also has increased gentrification and still has a base of Western Addition AA families who attend the school. Is the situation there as rife?
Meant to say middle class parents, not middle school parents.

Goodnight Irene is a 20th century American folk standard, that was recorded for the first time by Lead Belly in 1932, though he "was singing a version of the song from as early as 1908, which he claimed to have learned from his uncle Terell." [Wikipedia] It was the first folk song that John Lomax recorded with his new portable equipment for the Archive of American Folk Song. The Weavers had a #1 charts hit with their recording of Goodnight Irene in 1950.
Japheth Dean played the tune of Gooodnight Irene in 1994 on the Hokey Pokey charity CD Out on the Rolling Sea , a tribute to the music of Bahamian musicians Joseph Spence and the Pinder Family.
I really love this song and was quite chuffed when Tom Waits recorded it on Orphans , as well as Young At Heart , which is another unrelated favourite of mine—nice to have your musical taste validated by a genius. He also does a great Two Sisters—definitely a closet folky.
Ron Kavana sang Goodnight Irene in 2011 on his CD 40 Favourite Folk Songs .

Abuja, Nigeria, Dec 2, 2022 / 13:45 pm (CNA).
November proved to be an especially deadly month in Central Nigeria, leaving Catholics like Matthew Onah and his family struggling to cope with their losses.
In the Catholic enclave of Maikatako, 11 people were killed on Nov. 15 in an attack by armed militia, reportedly 200 to 300 in number and dressed in black.
Among the victims was Onah's 2-year-old son. A member of the St. Benedict's Independent Mission Kuba within the Diocese of Pankshin in Plateau State, Onah said his wife, Rosemary, 33, was injured but is recovering in a local hospital. Their two other children survived.
One week later, at least 12 unarmed civilians were killed by radicalized Muslim militia in the town of Wumat, 45 miles south of Jos, the capital of Plateau State, according to Titus Alams, a former speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly.
Alams told CNA more than 200 terrorists encircled the hilltop settlement on the cold Tuesday night, shooting residents who tried to escape.

The attacks followed weeks of terror raids on surrounding Christian villages, causing farmers to stay away from their farms, said Father Andrew Dewan, who is in charge of St. Benedict's Independent Mission Kuba, which serves approximately 25 surrounding villages.
"Just last month, we buried two of our parishioners in a town close to Maikatako," Dewan said. "They were killed by the same Fulani militants who went to kidnap their sister. They kidnap Christians for ransom, destroy their farm crops and still wage attacks, killing Christians and destroying their livelihoods."
The motivation for the attacks is "land grab and forceful Islamization," he said.
"They have taken many of our communities and turned them into no-go zones," Dewan said.
Officials in Nigeria have often characterized the attacks as clashes between sedentary farmers and semi-nomadic herdsmen over the fertile land, which they say have increased because of climate change.
Bishop Michael Gokum of the Pankshin Diocese told CNA this is a distortion of the facts.
"If you are in your house and somebody comes and attacks you, that is not a clash," Gokum said in a phone interview. "We are worried about the growing killings not just of Catholics but all Christians which have continued unabated."

The attacks by groups of Islamist militia variously called "herdsmen," "bandits," or "unknown gunmen" increasingly victimize farming towns in Nigeria's vast Middle Belt of states.
At least 18 people were shot and hacked to death in the northern area of Benue State on Nov. 3 in three neighboring villages of Guma County, reported Father William Shom, a resident of the county. Many of the victims were children, Shom told CNA.
More worrisome to Nigerian experts is that herdsmen attacks are popping up in Nigeria's southern states, where they were rare a few years ago.
On Nov. 21, a terrorist group heard speaking the language of the Fulani tribe attacked villages in the southern area of Enugu State, approximately 400 miles from the attack sites in Bokkos County, Plateau State. Enugu State is home to more than one million Roman Catholic residents.
Analysts have warned that the incessant attacks — if unresisted — could push Africa's most populous nation into the hands of radical Islamists.
"True, Christian farmers have clashed with nomadic Fulani Muslim herders, or militants, for scores of years, but recent attacks by Fulani militants appear to be coordinated and strategic," Kyle Abts, executive director of the International Committee on Nigeria (ICON), told CNA.
It's "concerning that there are continued killings in Plateau State and just a few days later new attacks in the southern state of Enugu," he added.
"Throughout the Middle Belt, security forces are either overwhelmed, unable to stop, or complicit in these attacks," Abts said.
Solomon Maren, a member of Nigeria's House of Representatives, said Bokkos has seen a steady rise in armed attacks and annexations since 2018.
"Our people in the rural areas can no longer farm or move freely without the fear of attacks. Just last month, we buried more than 30 of our people who were attacked either on their farms or in their houses," he said.
Gov. Simon Lalong ordered a crackdown on terrorists' hideouts in Bokkos on Nov. 17. Military spokesman Major Ishaku Takwa told CNA that night that the effort was already underway.
However, three hours later, apparently, the same gang of 300 terrorists that attacked Maikatako assaulted a village approximately two miles west of Maikatako.
The volunteer guards in Maikatako armed with single-shot shotguns resisted the night attack as best they could, according to guardsmen who spoke to CNA.
"They took cover behind houses firing their guns but were forced to retreat by the terrorists' superior weapons, AK-47 assault rifles," said Bitrus Dang, a retired assistant superintendent of police. Dang and two other men were injured during the attack.
According to the military spokesman in Plateau State, Major Ishaku Takwa, villagers do not call for help early enough.
"Prompt information sharing is key to ending these attacks," he said. "These terrorists come in and strike within minutes and go away so we need information as soon as it happens."
A pastor in the town who asked not to be identified for fear of retaliation told CNA that two army trucks carrying at least five men each were stationed on a bypass encircling Maikatako earlier in the evening when rumors of a planned attack started circulating. However, they stood by listening to music during the attack, the clergyman said.
"We were helpless," Dang said.
"They came with AK-47 and AK-49 rifles as well as other sophisticated weapons," he said. "We only had single-shot cartridge guns." He said the attack continued for four hours without any intervention by police or soldiers.
While sifting through the rubble of their burned house on the morning of Nov. 16, Onah found a Bible, his only belonging that survived the terrorists' fire.
"I lost everything including my baby, my car, my house, food and clothing, but with this [Bible], my hope is renewed," he said.
"Nothing will stop me from being a Catholic. Nothing will stop me from following Christ," he said.

South Africa's new president praised for commitment to fight corruption
Johannesburg, South Africa, Feb 20, 2018 / 01:50 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The first State of the Nation address by South Africa's new president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has been welcomed by one of the country's Jesuit priests for its call to create communities of trust and to dialogue about problems facing South Africa.
Ramaphosa assumed office Feb. 15, following the resignation of Jacob Zuma, whose tenure was marked by numerous allegations of corruption allegations and fostered a decline in morality in public life. South Africa's bishops were quick to welcome Zuma's choice to resign.
In his State of the Nation address Feb. 16, Ramaphosa pledged to "turn the tide of corruption in our public institutions. We are determined to build a society defined by decency and integrity, that does not tolerate the plunder of public resources, nor the theft by corporate criminals of the hard-earned savings of ordinary people."
Ramaphosa also discussed land redistribution and job creation.
Fr. Peter-John Pearson wrote at Spotlight Africa Feb. 19 that Ramaphosa's speech echoed "poignant issues outlined in Catholic Social Teaching."
Writing at the ministry of the Jesuit Institute South Africa, the priest cited Ven. Pius XII and Cardinal Basil Hume, Archbishop of Westminster from 1976 to 1999, in stressing "importance of restoring and building civic relationships thus strengthening civil society."
"Ramaphosa called for the reestablishment of communities of trust in the face of diminishing trust in public institutions and weakened confidence in leaders. He underlined that it is everyone's task to create a common destiny," Fr. Pearson noted.
He cited St. John Paul II's teaching on solidarity, and said Ramaphosa's "commitment to undoing past injustices and present inequalities is key to establishing the common good."
"His further commitment to the free basic services which supports 3.5 million indigent households and continuing the payment of 17 million grants to the poorest of the poor, resonates with the fundamental option for the poor as does his promise to deal effectively with those who have plundered the resources of the nation and those who have established a culture of cronyism and corruption."
The priest also considered it important how often Ramaphosa "promised to hold summits on a variety of important and often contested issues ranging from investment to jobs."
"While some decried this emphasis as an entrenchment of a culture of talking at the risk of it diminishing action: from a CST perspective it undergirds the importance of dialogue as a powerful way of ensuring the inclusion of usually excluded voices in the process of developing public policy," Fr. Pearson stated.
"In a country plagued with a history of identity politics and a growing exclusion of the poor from any meaningful decision making about their own futures, creating spaces for dialogue and thus building incrementally those communities of trust, is critical for any sustainable life together," he added.
The priest concluded suggesting that this is the first time that "there seems to be a spirit of hope in South Africa" in several years.
"A solid indication of pursuing the quest for justice, enhancing a dialogical culture together with appropriate processes that implement such dialogues, and the generation of hope, are indeed the benchmarks of CST and a sign of the times in South Africa."

One of the reasons that Islam defies the label "The Religion of Peace" is that Muhammad possessed weapons that he had nicknames for. Weapons he used for purposes of conquest.
2 The Koran allows husbands to strike their wives.
Contrast this with how the Bible commands the Christian to live.
2 Peter 1:5-10 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honour to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
The contrast between Christianity and Islam is marked. If someone would care for the appropriate verses from the Koran or hadiths, they will be provided.
The object is to help the Muslim find truth and true peace through faith in Jesus Christ. This is a good forum to help those seeking peace with God! Let us discuss matters in the spirit of helpfulness and respect.
Blessings of insight and understanding.

Mègara Hiblea () era una ciutat de Sicília a la costa oriental de l'illa entre Siracusa i Catana. Era prop de la boca del riu Àlabos (Cantaro), probablement a la vora del lloc on hi ha la moderna Agosta o Augusta.

Va ser una colònia grega fundada per habitants de la ciutat de Mègara a Grècia. Tucídides diu que la van fundar un megarès anomenat Lamis, que primer es va establir a Trotilos, a la boca del riu Pantagias en el mateix moment en què els calcidis van fundar Leontins. D'allí va passar a Leontins on els megaresos van conviure un temps amb els seus habitants, però en van ser expulsats i es van establir a la península de Tapsos, prop de Siracusa, d'on els colons se'n van anar a la mort de Lamis, i a suggeriment d'Hiblon, un cap sícul, es van establir al lloc definitiu que es va dir Mègara Hiblea.

Als Iambes al Rei Nicomedes s'explica una història diferent. Es diu que els calcidis es van establir a Naxos al mateix temps que els megaresos fundaven Hibla, en una època anterior a la fundació de Siracusa, i la data l'any 734 aC. Estrabó comparteix aquest punt de vista i fa coincidir la fundació de Mègara Hiblea amb la de Naxos. La data que dona Tucídides per la fundació de la ciutat és el 726 aC. Mègara Hiblea es va convertir en una ciutat pròspera i al cap de cent anys va fundar una colònia a l'altra punta de Sicília, que es va dir Selinunt.

De la història que va seguir no se sap res fins que va ser destruïda per Geló I de Siracusa que després d'un setge la va ocupar. Va vendre com a esclaus els seus habitants i les terres les va repartir entre els més nobles dels siracusans, segons diuen Heròdot i Tucídides, que data la conquesta de la ciutat a l'any 481 aC. La Suïda diu que Geló va fer matar al poeta Epicarm que vivia a la ciutat encara que no havia nascut allí, però altres fonts expliquen que va poder fugir. Mègara ja no va recuperar ni el seu poder ni la seva independència i es va convertir en una ciutat secundària que al cap d'uns anys es va despoblar. El general atenenc Làmac durant l'expedició a Sicília dirigida per Alcibíades i Nícies va proposar reunir la flota d'Atenes en aquell lloc l'any 415 aC. Les mencions posteriors de la ciutat són molt escasses, i apareixen de vegades com a Mègara i de vegades com a Hibla.

La ciutat moderna, Augusta, va ser fundada l'any 1229 per l'emperador Frederic II.

When I was a baby after WWII, I had mumps which went into encephalitis .. antibiotics were new but miraculous. I survived but with permanent nerve deafness in my right ear. I remember when the Salk vaccine came out a few years later and we lined up at school to get our shots.
YES!! I'm autistic, and I can't begin to describe how disgusted I am that there are people who think it's better to be dead than to be like me.
More Measles! More Measles! More Measles!
Fever! Rash! Sore throats, Pink Eye, and a cough! Encephalitis and permanent hearing loss!

It was such a powerful statement.

Vibrant gorilla glass scratch repair,uv curing nanoimprint lithography for uniform layers and minimize residual layers,adhesive animal glue uses - Tips For You
Masterpix prints photos on thin, durable Gorilla Glass using UV-cured inks to create vibrant, colourful glass prints that are also scratch-resistant, stain-resistant and easy to clean, Corning said in a statement.
Masterpix adds value to consumers, wedding planners, photographers, high-end printers, art curators, architects and interior designers, the statement said.
Gorilla Glass has been used as a cover glass on 4.5 billion electronic devices around the world. The Lenovo K4 Note doesn't beat the Xiaomi Mi4i comprehensively, but it is still the better phone. The Lenovo K4 Note and Xiaomi Mi 4i are a lot different from each other in terms of their design.
With dual front speakers, thick side metal panels and a fingerprint sensor in the back, the Lenovo K4 Note is clearly distinguishable. Looks are a personal choice, but in our opinion Mi4i is definitely our choice but the Lenovo K4 Note feels a bit sturdy. The Xiaomi Mi4i has a 5 inch IPS display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, thus offering pretty good 441 ppi pixels density. Since both of them have identical display resolution, the viewing experience is not going to be much different.
The Lenovo K4 Note has the octa-core MediaTek 6753 processing unit clocked at 1.3 GHz which runs with 3 GB of RAM.
The Xiaomi Mi4i has the octa-core Snapdragon 615 (2nd gen) processing unit clocked at 1.7 GHz which runs with 2 GB of RAM. The newer, faster, and larger processor of the Lenovo K4 Note along with one extra GB of RAM makes it the clear winner. The Lenovo K4 Note has a 3300 mAh battery, and the Xiaomi Mi4i has a 3120 mAh unit - in both the handsets, the batteries are embedded and thus cannot be removed. Unfortunately Xiaomi has not revealed either the standby or the talktime of Mi4i but considering that it has a smaller display, we expect it to offer atleast the same or even better back up than the Lenovo K4 Note.
The Lenovo K4 Note has a bigger display, more RAM, higher storage limit and a slightly bigger battery. 01 Sep, 2016 The Lenovo A6600 will compete with the likes of Redmi 3S and Coolpad Mega 2.5D.
03 Aug, 2016 Yoga 710 comes with a unique wireless Yoga Mouse which can also double up as a remote control for an on-screen presentation. 05 Jul, 2016 Lenovo is also offering accessories, worth Rs 12,999, at a special price of just Rs 2,499 with the laptop. 05 Jul, 2016 Conve Genius is giving away first 1000 tablets at a special price of Rs 7,499.
13 Jun, 2016 Priced at Rs 6999, the K5 will be available in Gold, Silver and Grey color options. 10 May, 2016 The first flash sale of Lenovo Zuk Z1 will be held on 19th May, registrations for which will start at 1 pm today. 21 Apr, 2016 The Lenovo Phab has a price tag of Rs 11,999 while the Yureka Note has been announced at Rs 13,499. 11 Apr, 2016 Lenovo Phab Plus was earlier launched in India and is currently available for Rs 14,999. Acer today introduce two new top-of-the-line multimedia notebook PC lines for both the US and Canada.
Consumers in the region can now have stunning photographs that will last more than a lifetime printed on optically clear, stain-resistant Gorilla Glass," Corning President India Amit Bansal said.
At Rs 11,999, it is now one of the leading phones in its category but is it better than the Xiaomi Mi4i which too is available for the same price. While Xiaomi Mi4i is all funky colours and plastic, the K4 Note is sober in appearance and feels sturdy with metal side panels. As compared to the K4 Note, the Mi4i offers vibrant black, white, blue, yellow and pink colours.
As per Lenovo, the 3300 mAh battery of K4 Note offers 22 hours of talktime and 265 hours of standby. On the other hand, the Lenovo K4 Note has a bigger 5.5 inch IPS display but with the same resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 401 ppi, and it has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 as well. Lenovo has also promised to bring wooden back covers for the K4 Note which will definitely up the style quotient of the K4 Note.

Assemblies for collective Christian worship are held daily. We have close links with our parish church, All Saints', Barrowby. Church Ministers take assemblies, participate in classroom teaching and regularly visit the school. The children are familiar with our church through end of term services, festivals and carol services as well as using the church as part of their studies in R.E. and History. They also take part in church events, and services. Arrangements for the act of Collective Worship and for Religious Education are made by the school in accordance with the requirements of the 1944 Education Act and the Education Reform Act 1988.
Assemblies are also an opportunity to celebrate our children's work and achievements in all areas of their lives. We set very high standards and expectations in terms of behaviour and attitudes at Barrowby School. This is based on respect, politeness and care for other people, and for their property. We aim to develop self-discipline, hard work, positive attitudes and good manners, to create a happy learning environment. We believe that praise and encouragement in achievements will foster, nurture and maintain high standards of discipline. On occasion your children will bring home Barrowby School Commendations, Certificates and reward stickers as a tangible acknowledgement of their efforts and achievements. Commendations are presented in our Friday assemblies.We encourage children to collate these rewards at home in a file or book as a record of their achievements within their primary school years. Such a record might also include, for instance, swimming, gymnastics, football and cycling proficiency certificates gained.
Parents are invited a Class Assembly each year, and to a Leavers' Assembly when their child is in Year 6.

The amazing Stephanie Evanovich returns with The Sweet Spot, the sizzling story of everyone's favorite couple from her New York Times bestseller Big Girl Panties: hunky professional baseball player Chase Walker and his sassy wife Amanda
When pro baseball player Chase Walker first meets Amanda at her restaurant, it's love at first sight. While Amanda can't help noticing the superstar with the Greek-god-build, he doesn't have a chance of getting to first—or any other—base with her. A successful entrepreneur who's built her business from scratch, Amanda doesn't need a Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet. And a curvy girl who likes to cook and eat isn't interested in being around the catty, stick-thin herd of females chasing Chase and his teammates.
But Chase isn't about to strike out. A man who isn't interested in playing the field, he's a monogamist who wants an independent woman like Amanda. His hopes rally when she discovers that squeaky-clean Chase has a few sexy and very secret pre-game rituals that turn the smart, headstrong businesswoman on—and into his number one fan.
Then a tabloid discovers the truth and turns their spanking good fun into a late- night punch-line. Is Amanda ready to let loose and swing for the fences? Or will the pressure of Chase's stardom force them to call it quits?
