The rumors on Nintendo's next-gen NX console are flying thick and fast, but the latest rumor has me intrigued: Nintendo will be moving back to cartridges for its NX console, according to The Wall Street Journal. The WSJ says that "people familiar with the matter" said that Nintendo will "adopt cartridges for its next-generation" NX console.
Physical media in the games industry is still a very large business thanks to cheap manufacturing and storage of discs, versus every single gamer who purchases every single game needing to download tens of gigabytes of data for a single game. Industry insiders have said that cartridges were a reasonable choice for Nintendo's next-gen NX console, because the Japanese giant goes after a much wider range of consumers compared to Microsoft and Sony.
Atsushi Osanai, an ex-Sony employee said that "no doubt today's best format to physically distribute games", and with cartridges being tougher than discs that can be scratched, Nintendo might have a big win with NX.
Why this matters: This is a huge deal for Nintendo and its tens of millions of current, and hopefully new customers. The company has a huge community of users that are young, and cartridges are much harder to break and damage compared to discs that scratch easily.

Arkansas House approves of "abortion reversal" bill
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — The Arkansas House has passed legislation to require abortion providers to notify, in writing, women undergoing drug-induced abortions that the procedure can be halted halfway.
Medical groups say that claim isn't backed up by science.
Lawmakers voted 70-14 Monday for the Senate-passed measure , which now goes to Gov. Asa Hutchinson to be signed into law. Arkansas is one of four states that require doctors to personally counsel women that it may be possible to reverse a medication abortion. Idaho, South Dakota and Utah have similar laws.
"Abortion reversal" claims have been criticized by medical groups who say it's not supported by evidence.
Hutchinson last month signed a measure to ban abortion in the state if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing the procedure nationwide.

I'll begin by saying that Alice in Wonderland makes me just crazy! The nonsense is so…nonsensical! I've never loved the book. I've never liked watching Disney's animated Alice in Wonderland movie. My daughter tried to get me to like Alice, the mini series from 2009, but I RAPIDLY abandoned that. I *did* kind of enjoy Disney's live action Alice in Wonderland, the one with Johnny Depp.
I really, REALLY enjoyed Disney's new, live action Alice Through the Looking Glass!
I rather reluctantly went to see it with my husband and daughter as a special treat for her. She's a huge Alice fan. LOVES all the nonsense. *sigh* So like a good mom does sometimes, I went along to see the movie and just hoped I didn't hate it. I didn't.
It actually made some sense. That most likely means it was NOTHING like the book, but I'm okay with that in this case.
Since I am a daughter and I have a mother I could (at least somewhat) relate to Alice's frustration with her mom. We've all been there. Mom knows nothing. She just doesn't understand.
Since I am a mom and I have a daughter I could (at least somewhat) relate to Alice's mom's frustration with Alice. Would you just listen to me for once? I might just know more than you about something. I really DO care. Truly.
I know the joy of seeing (slightly crazy) old friends again, and it was a delight to see Alice reunited with hers.
The costumes! Oh my word!
Friends matter. Deeply. We listen to them, and we help them, even if it means going out of our way to do so.
Family matters. Deeply. Our parents deserve our respect, and we need to honor them. We should choose to love them and demonstrate that.
Family matters. Deeply. We need to love our siblings too.
Honesty matters. Lies have consequences. Sometimes very big consequences.
I think I may need to go back and see this movie again! Have you seen it? What did you think? Leave me a comment and let me know!
I have not! And I had no interest until read this review! I especially identify with your last line.
Right?!? I love how that truth surfaced so beautifully! Maybe you can see the movie when it comes out on DVD/Blue-ray. I'm eager to see it again. It didn't stay in our theater very long.

Teresa Giudice's Brother Says She's 'Weak' and 'a Mess' Following Joe's Prison Release

On the outside, Teresa Giudice may be all smiles, but deep down, she's reeling. The 46-year-old's brother, Joe Gorga, told Us Weekly that the Real Housewives of New Jersey star is merely putting on a brave face as her husband's possible deportation looms. Keep scrolling for more.

"It's very, very hard. You see, she puts up a good, strong front — she has to," Gorga, 39, told the outlet. "She has to raise her children by herself, so she has to be strong. She can't be weak. You know, you see this tough girl [on TV] all the time, but she's weak.
Heidi Gutman/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images
The Gorga Guide to Success author added that Teresa has been trying to keep her mind off the legal drama surrounding Joe Giudice, but it's not easy.
"She's got to keep herself busy," he said. "She's constantly going out because when she's home, she has no one to hold. No one's around. [Her] kids, they're in their activities and they want to be with their friends. You know, she's a mess."
As for the Giudices' daughters, Gia, 18, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9? They hope to visit their father in his native country if he is, in fact, deported. "That will be their vacation. I'm sure of that," he said.

But Gorga hopes Teresa will stay close to home. "I want her to be with her family. That's what I really want," he told the mag.

Joe, 46, was released from prison on Thursday, March 14, after serving a 41-month sentence for tax fraud. He was immediately taken into ICE custody.
Manny Carabel/Getty Images
"ICE expects the Bureau of Prisons Allenwood Low Federal Correctional Institution to honor our detainer, and Mr. Giudice will be taken into ICE custody," an official told In Touch at the time.
After learning of his demise in October, Joe pleaded with the judge without success.
Alo Ceballos/GC Images
"I've been here my whole life, I wouldn't know what to do in any other country," he told Judge John Ellington during his court hearing last fall. "I want to stay here."
Even though Teresa and Joe have been married for nearly two decades, it doesn't sound like the brunette beauty will be going with him overseas.

"Gia's going to college next year; I haven't spoken to Milania or Audriana about it, we haven't gotten there yet and Gabriella already voiced her opinion to me," Teresa told Andy Cohen at the RHONJ reunion. "She was like, 'That would be so hard for me, mommy.' She doesn't speak the language. She's like, 'That would kill me even more.'"
Jenny Anderson/Getty Images
The Bravolebrity then assumed her man would have a wandering eye. "You know, I want somebody with me every day. I know exactly what happens. You know, I'm sure he'll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing; it's not going to work. I'd be like, 'Bye-bye.'"
Perhaps because she's seemingly had a wandering eye herself these days. Teresa was spotted with Blake Schreck, 26, last month.
Bruce Glikas/Getty Images
On Saturday, February 16, the pair was seen "flirting, holding hands and cuddling," a source told In Touch exclusively. "They looked really into each other and were having a wonderful time."

That said, Teresa has denied any wrongdoing. "I took tons of pictures with tons of fans, so, I mean, I was hugging a lot of people," she said. "A lot of people were touching me."
But T's made it clear that she's not moving the fam if her husband is sent away. "I'm not doing a long-distance relationship," she told Andy. "I'm not doing it."

Patient was advised that the RE's central vision wasn't as good due to the absolute scotoma caused by loss of ganglion cells from glaucoma.
Patient was referred to a local glaucoma specialist for management as well as to Glaucoma Australia to help facilitate understanding and encourage compliance with treatment and reviews.
She was also advised to encourage her family members to get their eyes checked.
Normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) is a form of primary open-angle glaucoma in which IOP is less than 21mmHg and is one of the most common forms of glaucoma in Australia, Japan, Western Europe and the US1-2. Compared to other forms of glaucoma, NTG has a relatively slower average rate of progression with reported mean deviation visual field loss of 0.36dB-0.41dB / year as opposed to 3.13dB / year in pseudoexfoliative glaucoma and 1.31dB / year in hypertensive glaucoma3-4. However, NTG visual field defects tend to be more localised, dense and closer to fixation5-8. In this patient's case, it has affected her central vision in the RE, and she is now symptomatic.
Risk factors for progression of VF defects include female gender, migraines and disc haemorrhages9. Disc haemorrhages are also very characteristic of NTG as well as inferotemporal rim thinning and notching10.
Since ophthalmological assessment, the patient's IOP has been controlled with prostaglandin analogue eyedrops (Xalatan, latanoprost 0.005%) and she is being reviewed on a six-monthly basis.

It was just three years ago when the Ravens, desperate for skill player upgrades, drafted a wide receiver from Central Florida in the first round. With the 26th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, Breshad Perriman became a Raven.
A talent who bursted onto the scene at UCF, grabbing over caught 16 touchdowns and over 2,220 yards. There was no doubt that Perriman had the skillset and potential, running a 4.29 at his Pro Day.
After being drafted and handed $8.7 million over a four year span, Perriman's career has been everything but positive. His short pro career has been filled with injuries and dropped catches. In his first season, he was placed on season ending IR.
His second season showed some promise, as he secured 33 catches for nearly 500 yards and three touchdowns. Still, these numbers were underachieving of a first-round draft pick.
In 2017, Perriman had another forgetful year. He played in 11 games, though started just three. He caught an abysmal 10 balls for just 77 yards, in a year where he had five drops in the process.
The problem with Perriman is the difficulty for quarterbacks to trust him. His route running has been suspect since drafted and his production has been disappointing. He surely got the opportunity over his first three seasons, being targeted more than 100 times in 27 games.
This offseason, Baltimore added three receivers in free agency along with fourth-round pick Jaleel Scott and fifth-round pick Jordan Lasley. Undrafted receiver Janarion Grant has also impressed, closing the window on Perriman's time in Baltimore.
The Ravens declined his fifth-year option in May and his probability of remaining on the team has minimized. Even with Scott being placed on the IR, Perriman's inability to play special teams decreases his chances even worse.
With all this said, Perriman is just 24 years old. Cutting a former first-round pick is hard for a franchise to swallow. As a fan, the issue is bittersweet. His frustrating play and lack of production make it easy for many to say "Cut him". On the flipside, the Ravens have added sure fire competition. Who's to say Perriman won't get better with increased talent at the position?
So far this preseason, Perriman has been the leader in receiving yards and tied for most catches. Then again a first-round pick doing well, in the preseaon four years later, needs to be contextualized.
Aside from Michael Crabtree, I feel the Ravens are lacking a big-framed target at receiver. Perriman (6'3) is the tallest receiver on the team. Perhaps Baltimore prefers Lasley, who was drafted this year out of UCLA.
The Ravens have until September 1st to make their cuts and get the roster down to 53-men. With alot of unknowns, there is room for specualtion on who stays and who goes.
Prediction: Ravens Cut Perriman in Favor of Lasley and Grant.


So-called comfort food may cheer us up, but the usual price is that it is horribly unhealthy.
Now, a new study in the U.S. suggests we might not even need to eat pizza, pies and cakes to put us in a better mood – simply drawing them may be enough.
In a study by researchers at St Bonaventure University in New York, 61 students – two thirds of them women – were randomly divided into four groups.
All were given red, green, and black pencils, and instructed to draw pictures of food put in front of them.
One group drew high-fat, high-sugar cupcakes, another drew pictures of pizza, a third were shown strawberries while a fourth drew peppers.
Using a research method employed by psychologists to assess mood changes, the students – all of whom were drawing on an empty stomach - rated their hunger, mood and levels of interest and excitement before and after the five minute drawing exercise.
None of the groups felt significantly more hungry than each other, but there were huge differences in their mood swing.
Sketching fatty pizzas improved the subjects' mood by a startling 28 per cent.
Drawing cupcakes and strawberries (high in sugar, low in fat) raised their spirits by 27 per cent and 22 per cent respectively.
Only drawing the low fat, low sugar but bitter peppers proved a let-down.
Mood in the pepper group improved by only one per cent.
Researchers noted that as all the subjects used the same colours in their pictures, the mood change was likely due to the type of food they were being asked to reproduce.
The authors of the study, published in the Journal of Behavioural and Brain Science, said their results bolstered growing evidence that simply seeing images of food has a positive impact on our mood.

Jahrhundert durch ein eingeschossiges Steingebäude ersetzt. 1639 wurde dieser Bau bis zum zweiten Geschoss erweitert. Der alte Verputz wurde 1938 entfernt und Ziegelsteinmotive freigelegt. Zu dieser Zeit wurde auch das Sgraffito angebracht mit der Szene des heiligen Georg, wie dieser gegen den Drachen kämpft. In der Aussparung darüber befand sich das Lubliner Wappen. Entworfen wurde dieses von Jan Wodyński und Borys Borkowski. Die Renovierungsarbeiten wurden von Szczęsny Felicjan Kowarski geleitet. Bei den Arbeiten wurden Fensterstürze aus der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts freigelegt. Es ist jedoch nicht sichergestellt, dass sich die gotischen Fensterstürze in situ sind oder nachträglich hinzugefügt wurden. Dies war teilweise bei anderen Renovierungsarbeiten unter der Zeit von Józef Edward Dutkiewicz der Fall. Die Renovierung wurde 1954 fertiggestellt. Dabei wurden die getrennten Teile des Hauses durch die unterschiedliche Fassadengestaltung hervorgehoben. Der Gebäudeteil an der Ecke wurde mit glattem Verputz versehen. Der andere Gebäudeteil wurde mit Sgraffito dekoriert, die in drei figürlichen Darstellungen Szenen am ersten Geschoss das Löschen von Feuer zeigen. Im zweiten Geschoss darüber befinden sich Sgraffito mit Ziegelsteinmotiven mit Blumendarstellungen. An beiden Gebäudeteilen wurde jeweils ein gotischer Fenstersturz sichtbar in der Fassade beibehalten.

What Does It Mean To Be A Normal Person?
By Rachel Martin
Eric McDaniel
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
What does it mean to be normal? It's the question at the heart of a new book from the Irish writer Sally Rooney. "Normal People" follows the relationship of two young students, Connell and Marianne, who share an intense affection for one another but cannot figure out just how to be together. Sally Rooney tells Rachel Martin that the character's relationship shapes their own identities.
SALLY ROONEY: The opening phase of their relationship, when they're in secondary school, is, for various reasons, kept a secret. And even though that secrecy is in a way a little bit oppressive for both of them, I think it's also in a strange way kind of liberating because it means that their relationship is kept apart from the social world and kept protected from it, in a sense. And they find new ways to express themselves and to kind of carve out an identity or a sense of self just for one other person.
You know, they're at that age where they're really trying to figure out who they are going to be as adults. You know, they're 17, 18, 19. They don't really know themselves very well yet. And so, yeah, I think their intimacy is a really formative part of how they develop an identity in those years.
RACHEL MARTIN, BYLINE: They are each suffering in some way. Is that what continues to draw them to one another over time? Do they recognize that in each other?
ROONEY: Yeah, I mean, it is certainly true that both of them suffer. But then, to what extent do they suffer more than others, you know? I mean, I think it's probably true that everyone around them is suffering too. And maybe they're not attuned to the suffering of other people as much as they are to their own.
And maybe, at that age, for some reason they offer one another a window into each other's lives that, when they look around them at other people in their social lives, in their families, among their friends, they just don't seem to be able to see through other people in the same way that they can see through each other. So maybe it is that they can instinctively recognize that there is a commonality in the kind of suffering that they're experiencing and that they're just not able to recognize that commonality in other people, necessarily.
MARTIN: I guess that's also what struck me, is that they don't seem that self-aware, which is kind of what it means to be an 18-year-old or a 20-year-old, that your own perception of your pain is all-encompassing and perhaps disproportionate to the kind of suffering or pain that other people have.
ROONEY: Yeah. I mean, I definitely think there are moments in the book where their self-awareness fails hugely. And it may be, you know, because they are very young. I mean, they're almost children when we meet them. And then, when we leave them, they're 22.
But it may also just be that that's what people are like - or, I suppose, that's what these people are like. I mean, I don't know, if we met Connell and Marianne down the road 20 years later, that they wouldn't necessarily still be trying to learn some of the same lessons. Like, I don't think that it's necessarily age-limited. It may just be individual-limited, in the sense that that's just the kind of people that they are, I think.
MARTIN: I'd like to ask about two specific pivot points in the plot. Connell and Marianne grow up together in the same community, and they are affected by the social strata that puts them into various groups, locks them there. What happens when they go to college? They end up going to the same place, right?
ROONEY: Right. So Marianne has kind of convinced Connell to apply for the same university that she's going to, which is the university in Dublin. And he does. Then their relationship, in the meantime, has completely fallen apart. So they're not even on speaking terms, but they both end up going to the same university. And of course, inevitably, because Dublin is small and because this college is small, they do run into one another. And when they do, they're meeting each other in a very different social context with, you know, having developed kind of different identities in the meantime.
So Marianne, who was a social pariah in secondary school, has now become a little bit popular, almost celebrated, whereas Connell, who had so many things going for him in school, finds that the particular forms of masculinity - I suppose, specifically working-class masculinity - just isn't really available for exchange in this social environment. It's just not working for him. And he feels, like, very confused and puzzled as to why he can no longer trade on the same kinds of charisma that apparently were so effective when he was in school, and he does feel very lost. So the social positions that they were in seemed to have almost exchanged themselves completely.
MARTIN: And then I wanted to ask about another moment where things change for them. When Marianne goes to Sweden, things seem to shift profoundly again then.
ROONEY: Yeah. So Marianne takes an Erasmus year, which is like a program where you can study abroad for a year. And she goes to Lund in Sweden, and Connell stays behind in Trinity. And during that period, they're both suffering, I think, not simply or not even primarily because they're apart. But it does mean that the kinds of suffering that they encounter, they don't necessarily have the same coping mechanism they might have if they were together because they're so used to sort of having each other on hand to work through all the various crises they encounter, many of which are caused by one another.
MARTIN: (Laughter).
ROONEY: And so when they're apart, I think it is - it's different for them.
MARTIN: You have noted a couple times in the course of our conversation that, for you, writing this story, it's not like you had agency over every development, that you were, in fact, just kind of observing the characters in the tale that was unfolding before you. And I wonder if it's - does it just stop when you finish the last page, or do you find yourself continuing to watch that story unfold? I mean, do you imagine who these people are in middle age, for example?
ROONEY: Yeah. I mean, it's funny. Certainly, when I finished the book, I was still very much with the characters in my mind. And I found these two very hard to let go of, I mean, just because, I suppose, in one sense I spent so much time with them in my brain that I was kind of used to relying on them, in a way. And they - so they did stay with me, definitely. But since then, I've started working on new things. And I guess I spend most of my time now with sort of new imaginary people in my brain.
ROONEY: And I don't find myself returning to Connell and Marianne in quite the same way or quite so often. But I don't necessarily think it would be impossible for me to return to them substantially later on and sort of find out what they're up to. Like, I do (laughter) like the idea that they're kind of there and that I can check in with them to see what happens in their later lives because I suppose, to me, whether or not I did justice to this in the book - I can't obviously say - but to me, they really did feel like full human beings, as it were.
MARTIN: Yeah.
ROONEY: So I almost believe that they are out there having a life and that it's just - maybe my job, down the line, is to check in and see whatever became of them.
MARTIN: The novel is called "Normal People," written by Sally Rooney. Sally, thank you so much.
ROONEY: Thank you so much for having me. Thank you.

The Ninja (忍者, The Ninja?), a port of the arcade game Sega Ninja, was released in 1986 in Japan and 1987 elsewhere by Sega. It is a typical run and gun game, such as Commando, where the player has to shoot enemies and defeat a boss at the end of each level.
Enemies include samurai, enemy ninja and wolves. The player's normal weapons are an unlimited supply of throwing knives, but power-ups to shuriken are available. In addition, the player can also turn to smoke for a short period of time. While most of the stages are vertically scrolling, a few of the levels add some variety – including a level where the player must scale a wall.

Among the changes from the arcade version is the female protagonist being changed to a male ninja called Kazamaru. Other changes include the rearranging of stages from the original Japanese release in western releases of the game, as well as a scroll system, which requires that five green scrolls must be collected to get to final level of the game, as all of them are needed to open a secret passage to the final level.

An Unfair Tax Policy Persists
By Duane Goossen
Did you get a paycheck this week? If you did, quite likely your employer withheld money from it to cover your obligation to pay state income taxes. Sorry, but you are part of the group that funds state government.
Do you draw your income from selling things, renting houses, farming, or some other type of business venture? Congratulations! You don't owe any state income tax. Enjoy the money. It would be great if you used it to create a job, but you have no obligation to do so.
For the last 3 years, income tax policy in Kansas has roughly divided the citizenry into the paycheck people who pay and others who don't. It's fundamentally unfair.
Put in place by the 2012 Legislature, the policy completely exempts individuals who receive business income from any state income tax liability. No other state requires the paycheck people to pay but entirely exempts business income.
Much of the public discussion of this policy has focused on limited liability corporations (LLC's). Setting up an LLC is relatively easy. These can be tiny entities or great big businesses, but little or big, the profit individuals make through their LLCs is exempt from Kansas income tax.
However, the policy goes much further than that. Any individual reporting income as business income rather than a wage, or receiving rental income or farm income, is also exempt. In Kansas, more than 300,000 tax filers took advantage of the exemption in the first year.
This creates all sorts of unfair situations. A lawyer who owns his or her own office does not pay state income tax, but everyone else working in the office does. A farmer does not pay, a factory worker does. A self-employed doctor does not pay, a doctor working for a hospital does. A landlord does not pay, a renter does. A writer working on contract does not pay, a newspaper reporter does. A food truck vender does not pay, a food service worker does.
The policy was ostensibly put in place to create jobs, but those receiving the tax break were given no requirement to do so. They could just as easily bank the money or spend it on out-of-state travel. As a result, the policy has not produced the intended effect. In the years it has been in place, Kansas job creation has been anemic, running behind both the geographic region and the U.S. average.
Legislators, even some of those who originally supported the policy, know it is flawed. "One of the impacts it has created is what I call horizontal inequity," Senate President Susan Wagle said earlier this year. Wichita Republican Mark Hutton called it an equity issue. "I've had a lot of emails from business owners that want to be included…. They don't like the fact that people out there believe they're getting a free break. That's not good for their business and it's not good for Kansas and they understand that."
Legislators made a run at modifying the policy in the last legislative session, but Gov. Brownback stopped them in their tracks by threatening to veto any change. So unfairness persists.
In June, lawmakers raised the sales tax rate and moved money from the state's highway fund to narrowly avert a full-blown budget crisis, caused by the income tax changes. However, even after shifting to the much more regressive sales tax, Kansas is still just barely sliding by financially. Each month revenue collections are falling behind expectations, putting even a conservative set of school expenditures and other programs at risk. Tax policy will need to be revisited.
Few of us like to pay taxes. If you have benefited from the business income exemption—nice. If you are a wage earner with a paycheck—tough. And you are right. It's not fair.

US vs Nigeria preview: Watching Jozy and the back line
By Nicholas MendolaJun 6, 2014, 11:32 PM EDT
The United States men's national team wraps up its "friendly" preparation for the World Cup with its lone send-off series match against another team headed for Brazil: Nigeria.
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi told PST's Kyle Bonn that Nigeria plays a similar style to the Yanks' first World Cup opponent in Ghana. And while Keshi wishes he had more time to get Nigeria ready for the big dance, the US coach sees the week-and-a-half of prep time for Ghana as plenty.
Klinsmann wasn't interested in nailing down a formation for the media in Jacksonville on Friday, but he'll be tipping his hand when he rolls out his Starting XI. The match kicks off at 6pm ET and will be just the second time the US has faced Nigeria (the first being a 3-2 win Stateside in 1995).
Scoring from forwards is at the forefront of many a mind. The States have scored a pair of goals in each of the first two send-off games, the first a 2-0 win over Azerbaijan and the second a 2-1 defeat of Turkey.
While Aron Johannsson and Clint Dempsey have tallied — the States other goals have come from Mix Diskerud and Fabian Johnson — and Chris Wondolowski did plenty of threatening against Azerbaijan, the Yanks have yet to see a goal from Jozy Altidore.
After the big man's unproductive season for Sunderland, there's been plenty of hope that No. 17 would find his quality national team form. But Altidore still hasn't scored for the USMNT since an October goal against Jamaica. While there are good things to be said about his work in the send-off matches — just as there was for Sunderland — he still needs to put the ball between the sticks.
And it'd be nice to see Team America keep a clean sheet against a dangerous Nigeria team. It's the last match before Ghana, and a perfect preparatory chance for Matt Besler and his back line mates.


After my big meal last night, I did not go to sleep until very late, and as a result did not wake up until after 9:00am. Since I was not hungry, I decided to take a shower and go food shopping before eating anything for breakfast.
I did however have two glasses of water. As I have been doing my research, I came to a conclusion that it might be a good idea to separate eating and drinking as much as possible, to help the digestive system do its job better. This is not something that I would find easy to do when eating a regular diet, but raw veggies and fruit already contain a lot of water, sometimes as much as 90%+ of their volume, so there is no need to sip additional water while having a meal.
When at the health food store, I discovered that there are few shelves with raw products in there – not pre-made meals (these are in the refrigerated section), but goodies such as lucuma powder, maca, raw cacao, and others. I am not sure how I have missed them before.
I passed on most of those today, since I have an order of many "exotic" raw foods already on its way from an online store. But I did pick up a few things that I have never had before – I'll write about them as I try them.
My total bill for groceries came up to just under $220. At first I though it was quite high, but I did buy quite a few items that are going to last, hopefully, longer than this week – olive oil, frozen berries, nama shoyu (raw soy sauce), herbal teas, and few other things. Adjusting for those items, and for the fact that I am not going to be spending money on take out, the cost of living on raw might turn out to be about the same as on cooked vegan diet. I expect that I will have to go food shopping twice a week, although my second trip will likely be only for greens.
The first item that I tried as soon as I got back home was kale chips. They are made from dehydrated kale glazed with cashews, olive oil, and a lot of spices. The result is a salty (in a good way) treat, that is crunchy, yet it literally melts in your mouth. The verdict: they are absolutely fantastic!
This relatively small bag is not cheap at $4.99, but it packs two servings at 160 calories each, providing 5g of protein, 110% of daily vitamin A requirements, 80% of vitamin C, 6% of calcium, and 10% of iron (based on 2,000 calorie diet). 110 of those 160 calories are from fat, so it's certainly just an occasional snack – but unlike potato chips, it's a very nutritious one.
I have decided to make green smoothies the centerpiece of my diet during the 30 day raw food challenge. Not just because they are nutritious, but also because I am too lazy too prepare a full raw meal every time I want to eat Since the smoothies contain all the fiber from the veggies and fruit that go into them, nothing is lost, unlike it would be with juicing.
From time to time I am going to use a green smoothie recipe from a book or one that I've found on line, but most of the time I am going to just take the next green in the rotation, add some fruit, and then see what else can be added. In short, I am just going to have fun playing with it.
This day was pretty uneventful as far as how I felt, which is not unexpected. I am sure that as time passes, and I have not had anything cooked for a longer period of time, I am going to have more to report.
Although I do not have much weight to loose, I would not mind shredding a few pounds. I am not planning on reporting this daily, since weight can fluctuate by a few pounds from day to day, but I will mention where I stand from time to time. Today, I began the day at 155 pounds.
A fuji apple and a strawberry-kiwi pudding. The pudding was very good, but a bit too fatty – the avocado I had was very large, so perhaps that's why. Next time I'll try to use more of everything else in this recipe.
Followed the above with a handful of goji berries.
This is a very good green smoothie, although if you are new to drinking your greens, skip parsley, as it causes this smoothie to have a bitter aftertaste. The hemp seeds, on the other hand, add a nice light nutty flavor to it and they are a great source of protein and essential fatty acids.

J.Lo Surprises Marc Anthony — Live Onstage!


Okay, I've decided to make this a unique review. Pelican Hill is one high-end resort with two great courses, but I played them several years apart.
I had the opportunity to play the Ocean South course back in 2008. Yesterday, I finally returned to play the Ocean North course as part of an SCGA member outing. So this review will be mostly about North as it's fresh in my mind, but I had some really great pictures and spotty memories from South that I've never shared on this site. So, it seems like an appropriate time to post them.
Playing the Ocean North course was especially significant for me as it represented the final public regulation 18-hole course left on my list in Orange County. I signed up for the SCGA outing because they got a "reasonable" rate of $160. Yes, that is still horribly expensive, but at Pelican Hill it's about as good a price as you'll find these days.
I was in the 7:45 group, but it was really foggy in the morning and that slowed things down a bit for the early groups. It was closer to 8:00 by the time we actually teed off. The fog slowly but surely burned off by the time we made the turn, but it never quite got as crystal clear as I would have hoped (or as the forecasts predicted). That was a bit of a bummer on such a scenic course with a number of ocean views that were obscured early on.
When I played South, it was in the late afternoon during summer and I barely finished in the dark. However, it was a much nicer day and the pictures came out much better. I don't remember the exact rate I paid back then, but I believe it was around $140 for a late twilight start (4:00) on a Friday. I am glad I do have the pictures because there isn't a ton of details I remember about the course itself. I remember really enjoying the layout, conditions and scenery. The signature holes on South are the 12th and 13th, which are beautiful back-to-back par-3s overlooking the waterfront. I definitely remember those.
On the North course, I was a little disappointed in the par-3 selection. The 2nd hole is probably the best as you hit over a big canyon to a tricky green. I'm not sure if it normally offers any ocean views from the tee, but the fog was still so thick by then we could barely see the green. After that, all the par-3s are somewhat ho-hum and there's not really one that would qualify as a "signature" hole despite plenty of opportunities with the setting and terrain of the course.
That said, North still offers plenty of nice scenery. Between the big rugged canyons, some ocean views and the garish multi-million dollar homes overlooking the course, it's certainly a nice setting for a course. South is probably "prettier" overall, but North is no slouch. Both of these Tom Fazio designs have no shortage of aesthetic appeal.
I'm sure the fog had some effect on the front nine, but I thought the most memorable holes were on the back nine anyway. Numbers 14, 17 and 18 come to mind as great-looking designs.
South is generally considered the "better" course by most and I do remember it offering plenty of challenge. North presents a very tough test, as well. There are not many flat lies on the entire course and the big, rugged bunkers and canyons are intimidating from tee to green. Most fairways here slope significantly from one side to the other (from left to right more often than not), so you always want to aim to the high side.
Likewise, a lot of greens tend to slope one way or the other. One side usually has a hill that can help feed your ball down toward the hole if you miss on the high side. When you miss on the low side, though, your ball will likely feed off into a collection area, greenside bunker or even into the canyon brush if you are really unlucky.
The greens are probably the biggest story on the North course. They are extremely tricky. No matter which side of the hole you are putting from, it just feels uncomfortable. With a natural ocean break coming into play, along with the big canyons and undulating green surfaces themselves, it's often hard to tell what's going on. All day, our group struggled to read the greens. Everything feels like an optical illusion, which is equally frustrating and fun at times.
Condition-wise, the greens were the highlight of the course. They were in fantastic shape and rolling quite fast, making putts progressively more intimidating as the day went on and things dried out.
Otherwise, the course was far from "immaculate," but still in very nice shape for winter. The tee boxes were excellent. The fairways were tight and fast bermuda with lots of roll, and I always had great lies. The rough was patchy in places, but the primary cut generally looked good. It was not super deep or thick, but the ball would tend to sink down and it could be tough to recover from. Then there were some deeper fescue patches around some bunkers and on outer edges that you needed to avoid at all costs. I was in two fairway bunkers and they were fine. I never found a greenside one, but they sure looked nice with fluffy white "resort" sand.
As you might expect at a luxury resort, the facilities here are nice and the service aspects are strong. Nowadays, they generally assign forecaddies with resort guests. They didn't have them for the SCGA group, but it might have been helpful. Basically, they have things set up to make the forecaddies seem more "valuable" while on the course.
There is no GPS in the carts. There are no hole maps on the scorecard or tee boxes. There is no pin sheet for reference and they do not use a standard red/white/blue (front/middle/back) flag coloration. All the flags here are yellow and you just kind of have to judge where it is on the green. Not knowing the slopes of these crazy greens presents a huge disadvantage. Even if you know if the pin is front, middle or back, you still need to know the best place to land your approach shots for the desired result.
The sprinkler heads are well marked throughout the fairways and each cart is equipped with a rangefinder. It's a pretty basic one, though, that only works with the reflectors in the pins. So you can get an exact yardage on approach shots, but it is of no help when standing on a tee and trying to figure out how far a bunker or hazard is. They do sell yardage books in the pro shop, so if you don't have a caddie with you, you'll probably want to buy one.
Beyond those issues, I had a great day at Pelican Hill both times I've played here. I'm glad I've gotten to check out both courses and get a taste of how the other half lives in the heart of Newport Coast. However, the prices here are just so expensive. Though I'd love to play here again, I just can't imagine I will unless I come across a really great deal or I become much wealthier somewhere down the road.

1. You do not should see one another each day.
If you're able to, then why not? But you really do not really have to nag one another about you or your spouse coming more than simply because you haven't observed a glimpse of every other to the day (still). For long-distance relationships, if you're able to insert that five-minute FaceTime in advance of you head for get the job done (and ahead of he hits the sack), then terrific. Yet, you really don't come to feel it a necessity for you personally to start out your day correct and for him to cap his day off with it.
And this is not about not generating time for seeing one another, it is just that you have reached a level inside your connection when you have recognized the main difference about currently being there and remaining clingy. Minus the Skype, FaceTime and what ever video contact apps you utilize, you may be current. And he is aware of that.
...like if you have by now eaten, everything you had for lunch, and so forth. every single. single. day. You are not absorbed on earth you have made only for you along with your boyfriend. Your boyfriend coexists with each of the other characters and components of one's globe. He's a component of it - possibly a significant component of it - but not it.
3.You do not impose your pals to become his close friends and vice versa.
When they might be acquaintances by themselves while not your pushing and shoving them collectively, wouldn't that be a bonus? But you respect the two your man along with your buddies and are aware that the way you relate to his pals (or how he does to yours) is not an place exactly where virtually anyone could pass a judgment for your compatibility being a couple.
4. You really do not (try out to) impress one another with all the most pricy of presents.
If the two of you are able to afford it will be a distinctive story. What I'm saying is you can find some couples who spoil one another (or simply another) with extremely expensive objects when that single existing previously equates to a month's complete of her or his net spend. You have reached a maturity with finances and the two of you'll rather approach in your anniversary getaway or even a leading investment to your potential.
5. You do not use any filter after you speak.
Finances filter, household filter, girlfriends/boyfriends filter, exes-filter, and so on - anything is out while in the open. Honesty has constantly been the most effective policy.
6. You really do not torture your self with boredom to death by pretending to like what he likes.
Your man enjoys video video games; you delight in your books. Your man enjoys outside sports activities; you like a cup of coffee in the very little nook. He listens to pop music; you worship The Script. Despite the fact that you give an opportunity for every other to acquire a peek of the planet, you really do not force him into remaining in yours.
7. You really do not care what he sees any longer when you are not having makeup and/or fresh from slumber.
You are previous people days after you considered you continually really have to place your 'best face' forward. You have turned out to be comfy with getting all all-natural. You have observed your attractiveness without having makeup in his eyes.
8. You really don't help him in all his rants and complaints concerning the planet.
When he requires an excellent sermon, it is you he hears it from. If he's incorrect, you inform him. There is no sugarcoating any time you suppose he requires a slap of actuality. You do not condone his incorrect acts, you proper him. You really do not feed him with false "it's okay"s.
9. You really do not act like a curfew officer any longer.
You understand he's likely to need to make a while for his mates so you know he's gonna should keep some nights out.
You realize him properly for being certain that he's planning to go household when he thinks it is time. And you also respect his judgment of "it's time".
...ten many years, twenty many years from now. You share dreams of tomorrow. You see him during the significant scenes of what lies ahead. You see him as your companion in accomplishing these dreams.
11. No buts, no ifs. He's your ally.
What ever, every time, wherever. It is consistently likely to be you and him towards the entire world. You may consider on what ever existence throws at you since you know he'll constantly be someplace there - both holding your hand ahead of that substantial leap or simply an inch behind you while you consider that the majority risky stage you have to get by by yourself. But you are by no means definitely alone during the most literal sense; you might often possess a sidekick.
He includes a say within the key adjustments inside your existence so as he does to these in yours. His view is taken in earnest since you know he's certainly one of the couple of consumers on earth who would sincerely and selflessly want the most effective for you personally. He would give it for you straight and basic. At times, his ideas would open you as much as new wavelengths of considering, make you affirm these ideas that you simply by now hold or make you absolutely say no to some which you haven't been absolutely sure about.
13. You really don't definitely see or take into consideration him as being a boyfriend any longer.
He is now a lot more like a brother? Err. No. He's far more like a brother and lover mixed. He's someplace concerning people two. Not a brother, no longer a boyfriend, not nonetheless a husband. Daily life MATE? That is much more like it.
Really like is amongst the most profound feelings recognized to human beings. There are plenty of types of really enjoy, but a lot of people seek out its expression within a romantic romantic relationship using a compatible spouse. For some, romantic relationships will be the most meaningful component of lifestyle, offering a supply of deep fulfillment. The capability to possess a nutritious, loving partnership is simply not innate. An excellent deal of proof suggests the capability to type a steady connection starts in infancy, inside a child's earliest experiences having a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's requires for foods, care, safety, stimulation, and social make contact with. These relationships are certainly not destiny, nevertheless they seem to create patterns of relating to other folks. Failed relationships take place for several factors, plus the failure of the romance is usually a supply of fantastic psychological anguish. Many of us should do the job consciously to master the techniques needed to make them flourish.

Bringing Manufacturing Jobs Back to the U.S. - the Reshoring Initiative with Harry Moser
Episode 31 | Challenges: Workforce
Guests: Harry Moser
Outsourcing jobs to China and other countries used to be the most affordable option for many manufacturing companies. But changes to the global economy have caused changes that make it not only affordable, but even advantageous for U.S. Manufacturers to bring jobs home. Harry Moser is a veteran of the manufacturing industry and upon retirement he took the initiative to being an organization focused on doing exactly that. Find out more about The Reshoring Initiative and what it's doing to promote the return of jobs to the U.S., on this episode of Making Chips.
It's cheaper to send jobs overseas… or is it?
That used to be the wisdom of the day, but the rise in wages in China and other places has caused the advantages of offshoring jobs to diminish year after year until we're at a place where it's actually better to keep jobs onshore in the U.S. Harry Moser and the Reshoring Initiative have developed many great studies that show the effects of offshoring VS reshoring and are convinced that the benefits of bringing jobs home to the U.S. far outweigh the once-existing perks of sending jobs offshore. Find out how Harry's organization is helping educate the manufacturing industry, and how you can use their free tools to determine why it might be time for your company to bring jobs home.
How can you know if it's smarter to bring your manufacturing jobs back home?
There are so many variables in figuring out your costs for offshoring or keeping jobs in the U.S. it can be very confusing. But Harry Moser and The Reshoring Initiative are working hard to simplify the evaluation. One of the ways they're doing that is by providing free online tools to estimate what they call "Total Cost of Ownership," which can help you gauge the overall, true costs of bringing outsourced jobs back to the U.S. It takes into account all the variables you might encounter to provide a great overall picture of both options for comparison. Find out how to access the Total Cost of Ownership Estimator in this episode of Making Chips.
Why are many companies bringing jobs back home to the U.S.?
There are likely as many reasons as there are companies, but one of the main reasons is that companies are learning from their mistakes. Years of outsourcing manufacturing jobs has shown us the true costs of sending jobs overseas, and in many cases the advantages were not as beneficial as we once thought. Smart CEOs and owners are reassessing the choices of the past with an eye toward cutting costs through bringing jobs back to the U.S. Find out if you've made some of those same mistakes and how you can move toward cutting costs in your business, on this episode of Making Chips.
Webinars about reshoring manufacturing jobs
The Reshoring Initiative is doing many things to educate manufacturing leaders about the benefits of bringing jobs home, benefits that didn't exist even 10 years ago. Harry Moser covers many of the programs and offerings the Reshoring Initiative offers in this episode of Making Chips. One of those resources we'd like to highlight are the many webinars they've held to make the case for reshoring. You can find those webinars on the Reshoring Initiative website ( http://www.reshorenow.org/webinars/ ) and find out more about the purpouse and goals of the Reshoring Initiative on this episode of Making Chips.

Q: Java SE Security features to protect application data from the user I've worked through Java SE Security features.
As far as I understood the whole idea of this standard feature is to protect the user from malicious software.
For both java applications on the web, for which SecurityManager is enabled by default and security policies restrict application access to user machine with ability for the user to grant additional permissions.
And local java application, for which SecurityManager is disabled by default with ability for the user to enable it for concrete application and apply security policy to the application.
Is Java SE SecurityManager applicable to protect sensitive application data from the user?
If yes what is high level scenario for the developer to achive this?

A: If you're sending data to the users machine you are out of luck. There are no DRM features.
If you don't want users to access data, don't send the data to them. Keep it on your own servers and provide clients with a remote interface onto it.

A:
Is Java SE SecurityManager applicable to protect sensitive application data from the user?

No.  Whatever security Java provides is all for the user, not for 'protecting us/our code from the users'.

Q: Displaying value of variable from jsx function in Reactjs I am very new to react and when I was trying out a simple addition function using variables, I was unable to display my output.
total= ()=>
    {
     let a=(variable:{this.props.id})
     let b=(variable:{this.props.id})
     let c=a+b
    }
render() {
        return (

Total: {this.total(this.c)}

        );
    }
}

export default Total;

Why is this happening ? Is there any other way to display the variables, because in my IDE (VS-Code), I am getting an error that "this code is unreachable".

A: This is happening because you are not returning anything from total function. Also you don't need to pass this.c to this.total as total is a function that doesn't take arguments.

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor(props){
    super(props)
    this.state = {a:1, b:2}
  }
  total(){
    return this.state.a + this.state.b
  }
  render(){
    return (

        {this.total()}

      );
    }
}

Readers ask: What was the deal with original British punks and their swastikas?
December 6, 2020 December 5, 2020 Alan Cross	2 Comments	Punks, Swastika
An email appeared this weekend from Tom:
"What's up with the swastika armband worn by Simon Barker during their infamous 1976 Bill Gundy interview? Surely they weren't fascists, were they? Is it irony, provocation, or something more?"
An excellent question. First, let's take a look at the clip in question.
Today, no one in their right mind would parade around with a swastika anywhere, let alone on national television. Doing so today would bring out the cancel culture troops in full force. Knowing what we know about Hitler, the Nazis, the German army, and the Holocaust, the swastika has been irredeemably corrupted in Western culture.
But what was going on in 1976? Film, video, and pictures of the early British punk scene paint a damning sort of picture, don't they?
First, outside of a few fringe radical wingnuts–the National Front and some skinhead gangs come to mind–none of the punks were Nazis, fascists, racists, or white supremacists. So why the swastika? Pure shock value and provocation.
Even though WWII had been over for 30 years by the time punk appeared in Britain, much of the older generation–let's call them The Establishment–had scars from the war, including the Blitz, the sacrifices made by so many, and the rationing and economic devastation that followed.
The punks were as anti-establishment and anti-class system as they came. Growing up in a time of severe economic austerity and poor career prospects, the punks were disillusioned with everything British and wanted change. The only power they had was to shock on a political and social level. And what could possibly be more shocking and disturbing to The Establishment than to embrace the symbol of the enemy?
Some also used it as a fashion accessory. If you asked a few of those people, they might have said they were stealing the swastika back from the Nazis and then launch into a history of the symbol's Sanskrit origins. And beyond the swastikas, there were sometimes Hitler t-shirts and use of Nazi references and iconography. The very name "Joy Division" refers to women held as sexual slaves for Nazi officers.
Or they had no clue what they were doing. Hey, many of them were in their late teens or early twenties.
This doesn't excuse what they did, but it was a different era.
And although sporting the swastika was largely a British thing, it wasn't confined to the UK. Lest we forget that the singer of Toronto's Viletones was Steve "Nazi Dog" Leckie. Again, this was sheer provocation and not any endorsement of any National Socialist policies.
In short, no one was woke to the same extent as today. Fortunately, that kind of sophomoric/naïve behavior soon disappeared from most of punk culture–except, as I mentioned, for the idiot extreme types whom we will not mention here.
If you have anything puzzling you about the history of punk and alt-rock, feel free to drop me a line to [email protected].

Prince Harry was photographed wearing a swastika armband in 2005.
PM Trudeau can't remember how many times he's worn blackface.
DocWieler
"Sophomoric/Naive" also produced the best era of Punk Rock. Virtue signals and cancel culture is the direct result of a society lacking an essence of rebellion (under the guise of revolution), and instead adopts a 'sheep following sheep' approach to life and society. Fucking Sheep.

Seeking Information About Cosmetic Surgery in Michigan ? Check Out These Tips!
Cosmetic surgery is becoming quite commonplace. Under the careful hands of a surgeon, people can have their face and body altered. It is important that you realize cosmetic surgery has the same risks as any other type of surgery. One mistake by the Michigan Plastic surgeon and you could be marred for life. Read this article to figure out how to avoid this.
Check to see if there are any preparations you need to make to get ready for your surgery. See if you are going to have to cut any of the hair off your head first, or if you are going to have to remove any hair from your face.
Forty is the new thirty when it comes to age. Thirty has also been said to be the same as twenty used to be, and so on!There are some incredible advantages to getting cosmetic surgery today. If you are among those individuals looking to plastic surgeons for a bit of help, the information in this article may help you with the decisions you are facing by providing you with optimum advice and tips that are useful.
You should have money put aside to cover unexpected expenses that you occur post procedure. This can allow you to stay focused on recovering and not the cost.
Find out what school he attended, how long he has been practicing, and how many surgeries he has performed. You must also ask for pictures of patients who he has performed the procedure on.
Talk to your surgeon you are considering using and ask them about past work. While you can't be sure your surgery will give you the results you are hoping for, you can protect yourself and give yourself the best chance of a successful surgery if you screen a number of doctors before choosing one.
There are always risks any time anesthesia is administered. One example is unusual or abnormal heart rate during the surgical procedure. General anesthesia sometimes causes the potential to cause this issue. The reason why it occurs in surgery is that blood flow caused by anesthesia makes this more likely to occur during surgery. This irregular heart beats.
Look into an alternative options at your disposal.
Take a trip to the place where your surgery will be held. If you are planning an outpatient surgery, you need to ask if you could see the surgery area prior to your surgery.
Blood loss is one of the biggest potential complications patients are going through cosmetic procedures. Bleeding during surgery is a common result, but if you are excessively bleeding it can be an issue. Bleeding can occur in the post-op phase of surgery. You may face additional surgery to repair where the excessive bleeding has turned into pools of blood under your skin.
Be mindful that the total cost of your surgery may change. Factors such as anesthesia, whether or not you have anesthesia and other issues can have an impact on the price. Make certain that you consult with your surgeon or his financial department about the medical costs prior to proceeding. Do not pay one thin dime until you know the total cost you will be paying.
Ask to see pictures of your cosmetic surgeon's former patients. A thoroughly honest surgeon might even show you photos of a patient who had to return for a correction or revision after the initial surgery. If you are not comfortable with a specific doctor, look for a different surgeon.
Don't ever feel pressured to undergo something for which you're not ready. Many procedures are quick and uncomplicated. Keep control over your ability to make decisions. Don't let anyone rush you into a choice you haven't given careful consideration to.
Set aside a little more than the cosmetic surgery you will be having. Many cosmetic surgeons fail to inform patients that there may be extra charges included if the surgery takes longer than anticipated. As unfair as that sounds, you are forced to pay this money.
You need to make sure that you know all that you can about the physician you choose for you any cosmetic surgery. When meeting with a surgeon, pay attention to the length of the visit and how thoroughly your questions and concerns are dealt with. If such tasks are delegated to others, it may be wise to find a different surgeon.
Ask your surgeon about how many times he has done a successful surgery prior to the operation. You want a surgeon with a known track record of practice.
You may well be able to benefit from cosmetic surgery regardless of your age, and the advice you have read will help you make your decision. Make sure you have weighed all your options so that you can make an informed decision.

GE's new "Current" division merges its best ideas in alternative energy.
"Last one out, turn out the lights." Will there be any lights left to turn out?
General Electric LEDs come in many shapes and sizes -- and soon, all in one new division? Image source: GE.
A little over a year ago, General Electric (NYSE:GE) announced plans to sell its marquee "appliances" division, one of the first steps in a multiyear, multibillion-dollar effort to restructure the company with a focus on heavy industry.
In due course, a buyer was found, with Sweden's Electrolux stepping up to pay $3.3 billion for the unit. One question remained about the transaction, though: If GE was getting out of the appliances division, did this include all appliances? In particular, what did the Electrolux sale portend for the future of GE's once-ballyhooed investments in the field of light-emitting diode (LED) technology, which formed part of the division that GE has, until now, referred to as GE "Appliances & Lighting"?
According to data from S&P Capital IQ, GE's appliances and lighting businesses combined to produce just over $8.4 billion in sales last year -- about 8% of the company's non-GE Capital revenue stream. GE's own most recent 10-K filing with the SEC notes that these revenues basically broke down 70%/30% between appliances and lighting, with the latter business worth about $2.5 billion in annual sales.
Yesterday, GE reported Q3 earnings that showed that the Appliances & Lighting division that it's trying to break up and sell (the majority) off was in fact GE's fastest revenue grower for both the quarter and the year to date, its fastest profits grower for the quarter, and the second-fastest profits grower year to date. This news followed, the company laying out earlier in the week a road map for the future of its lighting business -- or at least the LED products therein -- and for its related business ventures in the fields of solar power, energy storage, and electric vehicles as well. GE calls the new strategy "Current," the new "first-of-its-kind energy company" that GE is setting up to put all of its various alternative energy technologies under one comprehensive roof.
Utilizing GE's "Predix" platform to collate information and suggest improvements in how customers manage energy flows, Current will offer customers a "holistic energy-as-a-service" product. This might include "sensor-enabled hardware, software, fulfillment, product management and financing solutions" in addition to solar power equipment, storage batteries, and LED lighting. The aim will be to tailor a suite of products and services to individual customers, then tweak this portfolio to increase energy efficiency.
GE Lighting CEO Maryrose Sylvester has been tapped to run the new venture, which, in contrast to the old appliances division (which was largely consumer-facing), will focus on "custom outcomes for our Commercial & Industrial customers, municipalities and utility partners." In current industry parlance, this means GE is designing Current to operate as a "B2B" business.
While that might seem like a strategy calculated to constrain GE's target market, customers are already lining up to buy from Current. In its press release last week, GE named companies including Walgreens (NASDAQ:WBA), Simon Property Group, Hilton Worldwide, JPMorgan Chase, Hospital Corporation of America, and Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) as inaugural customers of Current products, all hoping to rack up savings of "10-20% on energy costs."
Some of these companies seem like logical customers for GE's lighting products. For example, in its press release, GE noted how Walgreens has been a buyer of its lighting products "for more than 25 years." More recently, Walgreens began installing GE's "environmentally sustainable LED lighting products" in "some of" its stores. Current will work to expand that relationship.
At the same time, Intel, for example, may be more interested in tweaking energy usage in its chip factories, and perhaps in gaining insights into how to make its products more energy efficient, as well. Both of these are big concerns for Intel, which, in its latest 10-K filing with the SEC, mentioned "energy costs," "energy efficiency," and "energy-efficient" products no fewer than 25 separate times.
Altogether, GE sees enough interest for its alt-energy products and services to kick-start Current at a level of $1 billion in annual revenues -- ramping up rapidly to $5 billion by 2020. What's interesting about that number (aside from the breakneck growth pace GE is predicting) is that it's 60% less revenue than GE's lighting division currently makes in a year, which seems a bit strange.
After all, if GE is merging "Lighting" into solar into storage into cars -- and adding Predix besides -- shouldn't that result in a larger business than just "Lighting" alone?
The answer to this riddle, contained in a one-line aside in a Reuters report on the Current announcement, goes like this: After stripping out Appliances and selling it to Electrolux, GE won't actually merge all of the remaining "GE Lighting" division into Current. Rather, LEDs sold to industrial and commercial customers will go to Current to join the other businesses coalescing there. The remainder of GE Lighting -- something smaller than $2.5 billion in annual revenues -- will remain a stand-alone business serving consumer buyers of LED bulbs.
At least for now. Even as fast as it's growing, $2.5 billion in sales means that GE Lighting will be GE's smallest division by a factor of two. I'd say the chances are good that GE's restructuring won't end with this month's Current news. In fact, once industrial and commercial LEDs have been stripped out, GE Lighting could be the next GE division to go on the auction block.

Economy Society May 28, 2020
Tokyo, May 28 (Jiji Press)--Hitachi Metals Ltd. <5486> has said that President Koji Sato, 58, and four other executives will step down at the end of May to take responsibility for a quality test falsification scandal.
Chairman Mitsuaki Nishiyama, 63, who is from Japanese machinery giant Hitachi Ltd. <6501>, the parent of Hitachi Metals, will concurrently serve as president, according to the announcement on Wednesday.
Hitachi Metals, listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, said in late April that it had been manipulating quality inspection data for magnets and other products for over 10 years. A team comprising outside experts is investigating details of the scandal.
The five were executive officers at the time of the falsification and were in the position to correct the malpractice, Nishiyama said in a press conference over the phone. "They offered to step down when we were discussing the state our company," Nishiyama added.
