EUR/USD and Gold Await the ECB and Fed Chairman's Speeches EUR/USD, Gold May Surge as the US Dollar Shows Weakness
Home / Market Analysis / News blight US Dollar strength – Market Overview – October 19
News blight US Dollar strength – Market Overview – October 19
By: Miguel A. Rodriguez
Negotiations on the fiscal stimulus package in the United States continue amid a problematic and confusing political scenario. Still, there's hope for a satisfactory outcome.
The latest message from Trump, as contradictory as ever, is to increase the amount proposed by his party. The figures are getting closer to the $2.1 trillion approved in congress by the Democrats.
On the other hand, Nancy Pelosi has established a time limit of 48 hours to reach an agreement, introducing another element of pressure in this complicated negotiation process.
Even so, the markets seem to continue betting on a satisfactory outcome, as shown by the index futures that at the beginning of Monday's session advanced between 0.60% and 1%.
In any case, in the medium term, once the presidential elections are over, whether the winner is Trump or his rival Biden, investors expect measures to stimulate the economy that would boost the stock markets. If Trump is the winner, these stimuli will translate into new tax cuts, and if it is Biden with a direct stimulus package, that would far exceed 2 trillion Dollars.
For this reason, the volatility of the stock markets, ordinarily high in periods before presidential elections, is being more moderate this time, although without a clear direction now.
The modestly positive tone of the stock markets has caused the US Dollar to weaken against almost all currencies in a market risk-on scenario.
EUR/USD has failed to go below the support zone located between 1.1700-1.1714, remaining in the wide range of 1.1700-1.1800 in which it has been trading for a month.
The rebound in the pair has also been motivated by comments from a member of the European Central Bank's governing council, Holzman, that the central bank has no reason for further easing.
Only if the pandemic situation worsened would they consider this possibility. The current contagion situation is at the highest point after the first wave, and many European cities are in a state of reduced mobility, which is why it will hardly get worse from here.
So, no surprises are expected for the next ECB meeting, and therefore the Euro has rebounded from lows.
Something similar has happened with the cable. GBP/USD has rebounded from its support at 1.2900, in addition to a weaker Dollar, on the initiative of British officials to undo Johnson's bill in order not to comply with previous Brexit agreements.
The Brexit soap opera continues, and everything indicates that all the noise is nothing more than a negotiation strategy to finally, one way or another, reach a negotiated Brexit agreement.
When the pair is held in the 1.2900 area, only a loss of this level will pave the way for further falls to the 1.2700-1.2850 levels.

Both intensified competition and greater consumer participation in the choice process for healthcare has increased the importance of advertising for health care providers and seriously challenged many of the preconceptions regarding advertising. A study investigates the effective of advertising under conditions of high and low involvement using the Elaboration Likelihood Model. The study findings provide insights into the influence of message content and message source on consumers categorized as high or low involvement. It was found that consumers classified as high-involvement are more influenced by a core service-relevant message than those consumers classified as low-involvement.

First Alert Forecast: a chilly, showery introduction to spring
By Gannon Medwick | March 20, 2019 at 4:22 AM EDT - Updated March 20 at 1:15 PM
WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Good Wednesday to you! Thanks for checking into your First Alert Forecast on this special day. At 5:58 p.m., the sun's most direct rays will shine exactly on the equator; this so-called "vernal equinox" marks the official beginning of northern hemisphere spring! Ironically, for us here in the Cape Fear Region, Wednesday's weather will assume a decidedly wintry character...
Winds: Breezes will flow in from the nippy north or northeast direction all day. Expect general speeds of 5 to 15 mph and occasional gusts to 20 mph.
Raindrops: Not all neighborhoods will get a pollen rinse but scattered sprinkles and showers could bring a few tenths of cold, soaking rain to some towns.
Chill: Temperatures will struggle their way through the 40s to, at most, 50s and almost certainly fail to reach the seasonable 60s at any point in the day.
Your full First Alert Forecast continues to feature a brightening and warming trend for the end of the week and the weekend. Catch it here or anytime, on your terms, on the WECT Weather App!

Gannon Medwick joined the First Alert Weather team as Chief Meteorologist in 2013 and is thrilled to continue to live and forecast in coastal North Carolina. Originally from Wilmington, Delaware, Gannon earned a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Penn State in 2003, but his career quickly took him to North Carolina.

Trial of Training to Reduce Driver Inattention in Teens with ADHD
N Engl J Med. 2022 Dec 1;387(22):2056-2066. doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2204783.

Background: Teens with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk for motor vehicle collisions. A computerized skills-training program to reduce long glances away from the roadway, a contributor to collision risk, may ameliorate driving risks among teens with ADHD.
Methods: We evaluated a computerized skills-training program designed to reduce long glances (lasting ≥2 seconds) away from the roadway in drivers 16 to 19 years of age with ADHD. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to undergo either enhanced Focused Concentration and Attention Learning, a program that targets reduction in the number of long glances (intervention) or enhanced conventional driver's education (control). The primary outcomes were the number of long glances away from the roadway and the standard deviation of lane position, a measure of lateral movements away from the center of the lane, during two 15-minute simulated drives at baseline and at 1 month and 6 months after training. Secondary outcomes were the rates of long glances and collisions or near-collisions involving abrupt changes in vehicle momentum (g-force event), as assessed with in-vehicle recordings over the 1-year period after training.
Results: During simulated driving after training, participants in the intervention group had a mean of 16.5 long glances per drive at 1 month and 15.7 long glances per drive at 6 months, as compared with 28.0 and 27.0 long glances, respectively, in the control group (incidence rate ratio at 1 month, 0.64; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.52 to 0.76; P<0.001; incidence rate ratio at 6 months, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.52 to 0.76; P<0.001). The standard deviation of lane position (in feet) was 0.98 SD at 1 month and 0.98 SD at 6 months in the intervention group, as compared with 1.20 SD and 1.20 SD, respectively, in the control group (difference at 1 month, -0.21 SD; 95% CI, -0.29 to -0.13; difference at 6 months, -0.22 SD; 95% CI, -0.31 to -0.13; P<0.001 for interaction for both comparisons). During real-world driving over the year after training, the rate of long glances per g-force event was 18.3% in the intervention group and 23.9% in the control group (relative risk, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.61 to 0.92); the rate of collision or near-collision per g-force event was 3.4% and 5.6%, respectively (relative risk, 0.60, 95% CI, 0.41 to 0.89).
Conclusions: In teens with ADHD, a specially designed computerized simulated-driving program with feedback to reduce long glances away from the roadway reduced the frequency of long glances and lessened variation in lane position as compared with a control program. During real-world driving in the year after training, the rate of collisions and near-collisions was lower in the intervention group.

I was recently looking to try something different along side of our Ahi Tuna that we love to eat! I really was craving something in a rice dish that I had out not too long ago at a great dinner place we enjoy in Osseo. We have enjoyed "sticky rice" and "Coconut rice" dishes while eating out in the past, so I was inspired to try a version of my own working with ingredients that I had on hand. The only thing I had to pick up was the Mango because I thought it would add freshness and a bright flavor to our dinner!
Prepare your rice in the steamer using coconut milk in place of some of the water for a richer flavored rice. Cooking time is about 40-45 minutes. You can do this an advance if you wish.
Start by sauteing the chopped onions in the oils until soft and browned (Typically takes about 30 minutes or so over medium heat). Add smashed garlic to the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook for roughly another minute or so before adding the remainder of the coconut milk and chopped Mango to the onions.
Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring often to help thicken and render down the liquid. Add brown sugar and the flake coconut to the mixture and continue to stir gently while the sauce thickens. Gently stir in all of the rice from the steamer.
This is not "sticky" rice, rather a sweet and savory side rice dish that pairs well with the salty flavors of the marinated Yellowfin Tuna.
We enjoyed this with an additional side of soy sweet peas with onions and also a beautiful bottle of Smith Wooton 2006 Syrah!

Release a Rage of Red
Written by Mike Quille
in Our Publications
£5 plus £1.50 p. and p. ISBN: 978-1-912710-21-8
Release a Rage of Red is a selection of entries to the Bread & Roses Poetry Award 2019, sponsored by Unite.
Every year it becomes more of a challenge to judge these poems. This year, there was a large number of beautifully written, often angry, urgent and deeply moving poems on a wide range of compelling issues, including many more entries from women and young people. Our 'Unite in Schools' programme takes us round schools to talk to young people about trade unions and the kind of collective action that's needed to campaign against inequality.
We need to run a version of this fabulous competition in schools, colleges and universities, to support the young activists of tomorrow to creatively express their growing, sharpened sense of inequality, along with support for their ability to self-organise and to harness social media.
– Mary Sayer, Unite Education Officer
Not only were there many more entries than in previous years, there was also not a weak poem among them. It was good to see so much feeling and argument harnessed to craft and invention. There was also a tremendous range of subjects addressed — inequality, racism, poverty, austerity, environmental destruction, disability, class, gender, education — not as abstract evils, but as lived, felt oppressions.
A lot of these poems express a kind of helpless melancholy about the state of the world. Others are written in anger and shame at what this country has become, but manage to contain their rage and focus their anger to hit precisely described targets.
– Andy Croft, poet and publisher of Smokestack Books

1. Make more time for crafting – We canceled Netflix on Jan. 1, thus giving me exponentially more time to craft. Enough said.
2. Try new things in my craft room – As most of you may also experience, I go through phases of creativity. I will be all gung-ho one week, ordering supplies and crafting till the wee hours, and the next week I won't even step foot into my craft room. I think part of this is being inspired and fostering creativity. By adding variety to my craft sessions, I am hoping that it will keep me interested for longer. That being said, you will probably start seeing a larger variety of crafts on this blog. Hope you like it.
3. Finish at least one scrapbook – Preferably my Europe scrapbook. I think it would be a good idea to have this finished before I get married so I can focus on scrapbooking our honeymoon. I am also planning a Project Life book for my first year of marriage (stay tuned for some posts on this).
So what are your resolutions? Let me know in the comments section. Is there anything you are doing to keep yourself accountable? Good luck!

ARE YOU THE NEXT MAECENAS?
is a series of large charcoal drawings that questions the current situation in the Art World from the point of view of the artist. Van de Griend questions the position in which she stands today as an artist and draws parallels to the Dutch Colonial past in its Golden Age of art. This artist is not afraid to confront and engage the audience as she gives us a view inside of her own world.
As we can see in the artwork, with the Latin phrases 'Artem Non Odit, Nisi Ignarus' (Only the ignorant despise art) Van de Griend engraved latin words in stone on this large self-portrait in charcoal. Inspired by the painting ´Allegory of Winter´ 1644 by Caesar Boetius van Everdingen of a young woman who warms her hands above a dish of glowing coals. In Van de Griends version The dish of coals is replaced by a Skull. Is the artist covering up or revealing the skull underneath her hands… ? The fabric in this drawing seems soft to the touch, but is that blood running over her forehead? Is this a plea to bring back the Maecenas, before it is too late?

Bed Bugs in Laguna Creek, CA - Bed bugs are six legged parasitic creatures that suck human and animal blood. Their length is around 1/4 of an inch with an oval flat shape. Their size is comparable to an apple seed. The top area of their body has gold colored hair, antennae and cone like eyes. The bottom part of their bodies is wrinkly similar to crinkled paper. Bed bugs cannot fly however they can crawl quickly. They increase and multiply in the temperature range of 70 degrees up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. A little bed bug, is called a nymph, they are see-through in color and changes into a red color after eating. To achieve adulthood, a nymph bed bug has to shed its skin approximately 5 times. A typical female can lay 5 to 7 eggs per week and can produce approximately five hundred eggs throughout its life span of 12 months to 1.5 years. The eggs will hatch in just 6 to 17 days when they become known as nymphs. Bed Bug eggs are resistant to pesticides. Bed bugs hide in bedding, rugs, bedsheets, clothes, underneath wallpaper, under towels, between drape folds, behind wall decors and behind wooden furnishings. They like to strike during the night and they will remain active until before dawn. Bedbugs bite exposed skin of a individual sleeping in an infested bed and then leave reddish colored scratchy dots. They just don't wander off from sleeping and lounging areas but they manage to travel more than 100 feet during the night to look for meals. Bedbugs were once terminated in the US however they are making a comeback with the help of international travelers. The most frequent places to discover them are hotels and apartment buildings. Bed bugs can survive 12 months without food.

Termites Laguna Creek, CA
Termite Treatment in Laguna Creek, CA - Termites are often called noiseless destroyers, because they are frequently hiding in your residence or in your lawn without any signs of damage. All wood eating termites eat wood based plant materials. All homes no matter their particular structure type, provides cellulose foodstuff for termites. Subterranean termites go after dead plants and flowers along with bushes within the ground. A subterranean termite's mouth is efficient at tearing components of woody material. This particular ability is what causes concern in our dwellings. An average community of underground termites could ingest sixteen grams of wood a day. This is around 12 pounds of wood a year. Subterranean termite insects merely measure from 1 cm to a couple of millimeters in length, their eating habits are capable of causing costly damage to property. House foundations, household furniture, racks and even textbooks are common eating locations for termites. Termite homes tend to be formed around the earth.

Julia 1.0, developed and incubated at MIT, was officially released to the public during JuliaCon, an annual conference of Julia users held recently in London.
Professor Alan Edelman is a co-creator of the newly released Julia 1.0 programming language.
"Julia has been revolutionizing scientific and technical computing since 2009," says Edelman, the year the creators started working on a new language that combined the best features of Ruby, MatLab, C, Python, R, and others. Edelman is director of the Julia Lab at MIT and one of the co-creators of the language at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL).
Julia, which was developed and incubated at MIT, is free and open source, with more than 700 active open source contributors, 1,900 registered packages, 41,000 GitHub stars, 2 million downloads, and a reported 101 percent annual rate of download growth. It is used at more than 700 universities and research institutions and by companies such as Aviva, BlackRock, Capital One, and Netflix.
At MIT, Julia users and developers include professors Steven Johnson, Juan Pablo Vielma, Gilbert Strang, Robin Deits, Twan Koolen, and Robert Moss. Julia is also used by MIT Lincoln Laboratory and the Federal Aviation Administration to develop the Next-Generation Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS-X), by the MIT Operations Research Center to optimize school bus routing for Boston Public Schools, and by the MIT Robot Locomotion Group for robot navigation and movement.
Julia is the only high-level dynamic programming language in the "petaflop club," having achieved 1.5 petaflop/s using 1.3 million threads, 650,000 cores and 9,300 Knights Landing (KNL) nodes to catalogue 188 million stars, galaxies, and other astronomical objects in 14.6 minutes on the world's sixth-most powerful supercomputer.
Julia is also used to power self-driving cars and 3-D printers, as well as applications in precision medicine, augmented reality, genomics, machine learning, and risk management.
TechRepublic reporter Nick Heath writes about Julia 1.0, a programming language created by MIT researchers. "The breadth of Julia's capabilities and ability to spread workloads across hundreds of thousands of processing cores have led to its use for everything from machine learning to large-scale supercomputer simulation," writes Heath.


Is the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan about to be engaged to her boyfriend Corey Gamble? After hints dropped during her appearance on The Late Late Show last night, it looks like a strong possibility.
Jenner, mother of six, hinted at the possible engagement on Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts segment, where host James Corden and a guest take turns choosing between answering difficult questions or eating a gross food. Corden asked Jenner about the huge diamond ring she was seen wearing.
"Are you and Corey Gamble engaged?" Corden asked, to which Jenner played it cool, chuckling and refusing to answer the question. The Late Late Show host continued to press Jenner about the ring on her finger — a ring she's been wearing since July — until she decided to eat the gross food, which turned out to be a cricket.
Gamble, 37, is a regular fixture on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. He and Jenner, 62, reportedly met at Riccardo Tisci's 40th birthday party in 2014. The two appear to have been going strong ever sense. That being said, Kris Jenner did tell Ellen DeGeneres in February 2017 that she didn't know if she would marry again.
An insider told People in June 2017 that the couple "will never get married" but, then again, who knows? Love has done crazier things.
Watch Jenner's appearance on The Late Late Show below.


David de Gea has apologised for Manchester United's performance in the 4-0 defeat to Everton.
De Gea started as captain at Goodison Park, but United were 2-0 down by half-time thanks to efforts from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson, with questions raised over the Spaniard's reactions for Everton's second goal.
Substitute Ashley Young took the armband for the second half, though there was no change in the flow of the match with Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott on target as Everton went on to claim their biggest Premier League win over United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer went over to apologise to United's travelling support after the final whistle, and De Gea – who was at fault for Lionel Messi's second goal in Barcelona's 3-0 win over United in midweek – offered no excuses for the Red Devils' display.
"Difficult to put what I am feeling today into words," De Gea tweeted.
"As captain I want to say that the performance of the team today, on top of the result, was not up to the standard expected when you pull on this shirt.
"We know that we have to improve but words mean little: we have to give everything for this club. Thank you for your unconditional support."
Gary Neville branded Manchester United's players an embarrassment after Everton's 4-0 demolition of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side at Goodison Park.
United never looked up to scratch in Sunday's Premier League encounter, with Everton taking a 2-0 lead into half-time thanks to Richarlison's acrobatic effort and a wicked strike from Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Lucas Digne's effort and a cute Theo Walcott finish piled further misery on United – who face Manchester City and Chelsea in their next two outings – after the interval, as the Red Devils' top-four hopes took a blow.
A raging Neville insisted the blame sits firmly with the players and not Solskjaer, who went over to apologise to United's travelling support after the final whistle.
"I'm furious, the fact that he's had to go and apologise for the players," Neville said on Sky Sports.
"Jose Mourinho, the fans stuck with him, but they wanted him out in the end. They're not going to turn on Ole. Those players now, their heads are on the line.
"I watched Manchester City on Saturday, who United are trying to match. Bernardo Silva, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne; better players that work twice as hard.
"Then you watch Liverpool who are their biggest rivals, they die for every single inch on the pitch. United, it's embarrassing watching some of those players, I'm absolutely furious.
"I watch United players walking, sauntering around, jogging back. You do not drop below the standard and work ethic that is expected at that club. They're falling below it.
"Every single player who does not have the attitude - forget potential, forget talent - if they don't have the attitude to run around in that shirt, get rid of them.
"I have full belief in Ole to do what he needs to do, but there's a big problem. That performance was rancid."
United are reportedly still in the hunt for a sporting director and Neville believes the club will struggle to rebuild the squad in the manner that is required unless the right appointment is made.
"I am concerned, the idea that United won the league a few years ago is gone," Neville continued.
"They're in the wilderness. Where's the next league title coming from? Yes, things can change but good, big decisions need to be made and quickly.
"Ole said he needed to rebuild this team and also said he needed a few transfer windows. Real Madrid are rebuilding, Bayern Munich are rebuilding, Arsenal are rebuilding, City and Liverpool will buy players, Barcelona need players. United are in a world where they need to compete with those clubs for the best players. Who is going to rebuild this squad?
"I don't believe there is anyone there to rebuild that club in a football point of view, in the way it needs to be built. At this moment in time something is fundamentally wrong."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer apologised to everyone associated with Manchester United and admits the Red Devils were second best all over the pitch in Sunday's humiliating 4-0 loss at Everton.
The Toffees registered their biggest ever Premier League win over United with fine first-half finishes from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson added to by efforts from Lucas Digne and Theo Walcott after the break at Goodison Park.
It completed a miserable five days for United, who were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals by Barcelona on Wednesday, and their chances of making the top four are looking increasingly slim.
"From the start of the first whistle everything went wrong," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
"I just want to apologise to the fans. They were the only people with a badge on today that can hold their heads high and say they were Man United, because we weren't.
"They [Everton] were better than us at everything. All the basics, we concede [from a] long throw-in we know just stick a head in there. The second goal a corner kick, there so many things we have to do better to get a result because talent has never, ever been enough.
"We just didn't perform and that's more or less all I can say. That was not worthy of a Man United team.
"We put our hands up and apologise to everyone associated with the club."
United's task hardly gets easier with Manchester City visiting Old Trafford on Wednesday as Pep Guardiola's side continue their assault on the title.
Solskjaer, though, sees the derby as an opportunity for his men to right a wrong and insists United can win all of their remaining four games.
"It's the perfect chance for everyone to show [what they're capable of] on Wednesday," he added.
"It's a massive game, not just for us but for the league, we have to perform better than this.
"We need a game of football as soon as we can, we need to get this out of our systems and I think everyone here can say with hands on heart that's nowhere near good enough for a Man United team.
"Me, the staff, everyone knows that. I apologise to the fans, I promise we'll come out Wednesday and give a performance.
"Of course you have to [win all the remaining games], then we might have a chance. It's a big ask, but we can do it, we've done it before, these players here have done it before.
"We are going to give it everything we've got in the last four games, massive games with City and Chelsea coming to Old Trafford, but Old Trafford is where we get best support in the world.
"Football, like in life, things can change quickly, we have to change from bad to good."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer warned Alexis Sanchez and his Manchester United team-mates that the Red Devils cannot carry players as he looks to restore the club's former glories.
The United manager has made no secret of his belief that helping United challenge at the top in the Premier League and in Europe will be a long-term project at Old Trafford.
Five defeats in their past seven competitive outings has taken the shine off the fine start Solskjaer enjoyed in the Old Trafford hotseat and his frustration at the dip in standards has been evident.
The future of Sanchez is sure to come under scrutiny ahead of a close-season of rebuilding at United, with the Chile forward having continually struggled for form and fitness since joining from Arsenal in January 2018.
With just two goals to his name all season, Sanchez may be deemed surplus to requirements, although his hefty wages – which are reported to amount to more than £400,000 a week when accounting for bonuses – could prove a stumbling block.
And Solskjaer warned that every player in the squad must show a desire to succeed.
"As a club we cannot carry players," Solskjaer said. "Everyone has to take ownership, keep improving, show that hunger that you want to get better individually and as a team.
"I'm not just talking about Alexis. Everyone is under the same demands. But if we are talking about Alexis, he hasn't been lucky with injuries.
"Since I came in, he's had two long-term injuries and that hasn't been beneficial to him. Some other players have had injuries as well. But I see the characters we have. I am looking at who we should keep, who we should move on.
"Alexis has got a fantastic talent when he's at his best level. Now we want him performing for us."
United travel to Goodison Park on Sunday to face Everton as they look to keep themselves entrenched in the battle for the top four.
Former United boss Van Gaal, who initially questioned Solskjaer's approach after replacing Jose Mourinho in December, insisted the club favourite is defensive in his tactics.
"I can see how Ole had some impact in the beginning, because United were ninth in the table when he took over and the team was nothing," Van Gaal said via the Mirror. "United had been playing anti-football, as I call it, but don't think that Ole isn't afraid to park the bus either — he is more defensive than you think.
"I have been watching the team, because I always look at United still, and Ole parked the bus against Arsenal. He did it against Tottenham in the league. And at stages against Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona in the Champions League.
"He plays against all the big teams like that. The emphasis is more on defending than on attacking or wanting to play dominant football. I actually call it parking the bus. Ole does it not just outside the 18-yard box. He parks the bus right in front of [goalkeeper] David de Gea."
Van Gaal – who was sacked by United after winning the FA Cup in 2016 – added: "When United play that way, they play 4-4-2 and play counter attacking football with Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku. They are gambling on the speed of those two because they are faster than their opponents when they get the space. Rashford's pace is incredible. You don't catch him when he breaks away.
"But if Man United want to be a dominant force in Europe again - and in England - they have to have a different playing style.
"The problem as a foreign manager is that you find out that the English football culture is different from Germany and Spain. In those countries, you work on things in training. In England, everything is done by playing matches. They get fitter or gain stamina by playing lots of matches. It is a culture you cannot change easily. I wanted to change things, but it proved very difficult."
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer warned Manchester United's rebuild is a long-term project, while insisting he will only sign players who fit the club's DNA.
United manager Solskjaer – whose side are sixth in the Premier League but only two points adrift of the top four – told reporters: "We plan to be in the top four, we plan to be in the Champions League next season.
"We want players who can keep us in the Champions League and move us up the table. But we know there is not going to be a quick fix. We have to take it step by step.
"There will be new players coming in over summer but I don't think you can expect six. I don't think any manager you ask would be in favour of that amount of change anyway. We want to rebuild but it is going to have to be gradual, over a few windows."
"When I came in, there was an understanding that we had to get Man United's DNA back into the club, the team and the players," Solskjaer continued. "We need to get a culture back. What's the definition of culture? I'd say it's about how we do things here.
"I have my way of doing things – but I do expect them to be done. That might mean small things like having breakfast or lunch together. But I also like my players to take ownership of their own careers and their own futures. That's the type of player I like – and I have been impressed by many of the players we have got here. Not all of them, but a lot of them."
Solskjaer – speaking ahead of Sunday's trip to Everton – added: "I don't know the reason we have signed most of the players who are here. But I do know that they were brought here because they have great quality and previous managers have seen that. But I look for different things than [Louis] Van Gaal did, than [David] Moyes did, than Jose [Mourinho] did. I fancy different types of players – that's just the way it is in football.
"It's not a question of whether I like this player or that player. The question I ask is if they fit into Man United and the style I want this club to play.
"These players have had Mourinho, Louis van Gaal, [Alex] Ferguson, Moyes – four of the best managers there has been in England. But now I am new and I want us to play in different way."

D.C. Dispatches
Klobuchar, Franken back Sun Country for slot at D.C.'s Reagan National
By Derek Wallbank | 10/21/2010
WASHINGTON — The Department of Transportation is considering Sun Country Airlines for a rare takeoff and landing slot at Washington's Reagan National Airport, according to Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, who are backing Sun Country's bid.
Mendota Heights-based Sun Country plans to operate a flight from D.C. that would service Minneapolis by way of Lansing Michigan's Capital Region International Airport. Sun Country is competing for one of two open slots at Reagan, the most centrally-located but space-constrained of the D.C. area's three airports.
"Sun Country is uniquely qualified among the applicants for this slot, in that it is the only route that meets all five criteria that the Department of Transportation must consider under the applicable statute," the senators wrote, along with Michigan senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow. "In a time of job loss and rising air fares, this application presents an opportunity to provide an economic boost to three metro areas and assist American consumers and workers simultaneously. We appreciate your careful consideration of this request."
The full letter is here.
Lansing, like many small regional airports, has seen a hemmorhaging of flights after recent fuel price hikes and airline mergers. Within the last decade, Lansing had (and lost) direct flights to Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Las Vegas, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Tampa and Washington Dulles. It now only flies direct to Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago O'Hare.
"Minnesota is home to numerous Fortune 500 companies, world-renowned hospitals and medical centers, and tourist destinations. Low-cost, competitive service is essential to both businesses and travelers in the state," they wrote. "This service would also increase the partnership opportunities between the University of Minnesota and Michigan State University, two of our nation's best research universities. Finally, it would save travelers millions of dollars in lower fares, making it easier for Minnesotans to travel to our nation's capital."
DOT officials have not given a timeline for the decision yet, but spokeswoman Caitlin Harvey told the Lansing State Journal earlier this month that the agency would "act expeditiously."


Leland Yee faces several years in federal prison after admitting that he took bribes from undercover agents working for the FBI in exchange for Yee's promise to vote on legislation. He also allegedly arranged meetings for his donors and illegally smuggled guns from the Philippines.
Before Yee was convicted, he was running for California Secretary of State but purportedly used his campaign as a racketeering initiative to gain funds from agents who posed as contributors. In his plea agreement, he agreed to "conduct… the affairs of the campaign through racketeering activities." The illegal activity that Yee was involved in was said to have lasted from October 2012 to March 2014, wherein he gained a total of $34,600.
Yee's plea bargain did not include a specific sentence, but a plea agreement from his former consultant and fundraiser Keith Jackson, who admitted to the same charge, is to be sentenced to a term between 6 and 10 years.
Those convicted of racketeering must forfeit all the money gained. Yee agreed to pay the $33,466 that law enforcement seized during investigation. He will also lose his right to vote when in prison and while on parole.
Yee's sentence will be determined on October 21, 2015 by U.S. District Judge Charles Beyer in San Francisco Federal District Court. Previous charges of money-laundering against Yee and Jackson have been dropped.

Trump Triumphant Trump Coin – The Truth Exposed
If you are a fan of President Donald Trump and wish to reveal your support, you might consider buying a Trump coin. Despite the fact that the president has not yet minted a new coin, the United States Mint is presently providing $1 gold coins to honor the president.
It's possible that you're not aware of this reality, so let's take a look at a few of the realities about Trump's presidential dollar coins.
The former first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, has actually announced the launch of a new non-fungible token (NFT) venture. This NFT platform will include a series of digital collectibles. It will likewise include physical artwork and an unique device.
According to a statement provided by her workplace, the collection is designed to highlight "renowned minutes" from the administration of President Donald Trump. In addition to the collection of NFTs, the previous first lady stated the profits will be utilized to help kids aging out of foster care. She will donate an undefined amount to the initiative.
The collection will be cost a cost of $50 per token. Each NFT will feature an image of the former first lady's blue eyes. An audio recording of her voice will accompany the images. They will be readily available for purchase in between Dec. 16 and Dec. 31.
In December, the previous first lady announced that she would be selling NFTs on her brand-new platform. While the sale went efficiently, the task has faced criticism. Some have actually called it a scam while others questioned her intentions.
Melania Trump began her modeling profession at age sixteen. She has appeared in lots of prominent advertising campaign. Her latest NFT endeavor is her very first openly revealed venture because leaving the White House.
She has stated that she was "influenced" by the American spirit. She thinks that the NFT is a method to give back to kids aging out of foster care. Nevertheless, her press contact has actually not responded to concerns about donations.
In addition to launching NFTs on her site, the former first lady is also creating a series of advertising campaign. She mentions the Be Best effort as the factor for creating her NFTs. As part of the project, she will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the National Foster Care Association.
Aside from her new NFT endeavor, the previous first lady has actually introduced a line of handcrafted Christmas accessories.
The LGBcoin has been in the news for a while now, however among its most notable champs is its magnate creator, Madison Cawthorn.
For all of his defects, Cawthorn has shown to be a gentleman of the greatest order. He's been a good sport in the media and has supposedly even rolled the dice on the task in the past.
One of his more significant accomplishments is the reality that he's been named to your home of Representatives as one of the most eligible guys in the land. That indicates, as the old saying goes, there's no informing what he'll be doing in the next 4 years.
If he's fortunate, Cawthorn could be relegated to the minors for the remainder of the years. Not a bad deal for a guy with a studful of trophies to his name. Besides, a little bit of hyphy is never ever a bad thing.
When it comes to the rest people, we're a little worried with the prospect of a lil ditty like Cawthorn in our midst. Luckily for us, he's not the only dubious congressional alumno on the loose.
The US Mint started releasing Presidential $1 coins in 2007. This series honors former United States presidents. They are golden colored and feature a picture of the previous president on the obverse and a picture of the Statue of Liberty on the reverse. A motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST", is engraved on the edge of these coins.
These coins are implied to be used in vending machines, parking meters, and other locations where they can be acquired. The Federal Reserve Banks disperse the coins to their members, banks, and credit unions.
A group of officials met the United States Mint to go over production, packaging, distribution, and other concerns. Based upon this feedback, the Federal Reserve established strategies for future issuance and management of the coins. In the past, commemorative circulating coin programs have actually experienced difficulties. To prevent comparable issues, the Federal Reserve has actually conducted market research and has actually met with the Mint to establish a program.
The Federal Reserve has actually integrated feedback from other commemorative flowing coin programs into its method for the Presidential $1 Coin Program. It has actually likewise implemented modifications to its distribution practices, that include automated messages for depository institutions. Eventually, the Federal Reserve will determine the level of demand for the coins before figuring out how to handle them.
The first coin to be issued under the Presidential $1 Coin Act was the George Washington coin. It was launched two weeks before the John Adams coin was released.
This was the very first in a series of four one dollar coins to be issued each year. The styles on these coins have actually altered in time. A few of the previous coins have actually featured the motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," on the obverse. Considering that 2009, the motto has been transferred to the obverse of all presidential dollar coins.
The Presidential $1 Coin Program has introduced a variety of advertising products. It has performed outreach to regional services, schools, and customer groups. There are free academic products available for anyone interested in the coins.
Nevertheless, it will depend on the Mint to work with these companies and schools to guarantee that these brand-new coins get the public attention and media protection that they should have.

{

    log.Debug(" log file created and tested ");

    log.Debug(DateTime.Now + " - Page Load");
}

The logs folder specified in the web.config section EVERYONE has full permissions to the folder. I can not seem to think any other reason why the log4net is not able to create log files.
Do you guys see anything that i am missing ?

Budapest fidesz Gergely Karácsony istván tarlós local elections Viktor Orbán Zsolt Borkai
Orbán: Deals Made with Outgoing Budapest Mayor Remain Valid
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said he considered the deals made with outgoing Budapest Mayor István Tarlós to remain valid without changes.
Orbán, who is also the leader of the ruling Fidesz party, told pro-Fidesz news channel HírTV on Wednesday that the local council elections had been won despite some "poignant losses" suffered especially in Budapest and a few other large cities.
What's most important from the government's point of view is that an overall 1.8 million supporting votes were cast for the ruling parties, significantly more than for the opposition, Orbán said.
"As a result, I would like to see the bold and self-confident governance of the past nine years continue because the support necessary for good work has been expressed for the government's programme," Orbán said.
The decision of the people of Budapest must be accepted, he said. "Budapest has had a Demszky era, then a Tarlós era and now people have decided that something new should follow," he added.
People voted in support of Gergely Karácsony, the joint opposition candidate for Budapest mayor, hoping that he would be a better leader for the city, Orbán said.
Budapest's New Mayor Promises Greener, Freer, and More Transparent Capital
"My job is to give him a chance and provide the necessary conditions," he added.
Orbán said the new Budapest leadership would work under unchanged conditions. Hungary is a democracy and people expect their leaders to work together, Orbán added, wishing Karácsony success.
The government developed fair relations with all local governments in the past and this will remain unchanged, regardless of party affiliations, he said.
New Budapest Leadership Seeks Partnership with Gov't, says Karácsony
Orbán: Borkai's scandal doesn't fit in the community
Commenting on Zsolt Borkai, the mayor of north-western Hungary's Győr who had a sex scandal, Orbán said it was difficult to tell how much this case had affected the local elections.
He said it was not his job to pass judgement on the private life of any politician but, in his capacity as Fidesz leader, he had an obligation to make it clear that some things "just don't fit" in the community.
"The consequences had to be drawn and that's why Zsolt Borkai has left our political community," Orbán said.
Borkai to Also Face Non-Political Consequences
First, it was necessary to wait for the people of Győr to decide about Borkai's candidacy to remain the city mayor but after that Orbán said he had to act as party leader and do what was "evident".

WE NEED MORE AFFORDABLE HOMES, SAY SOUTH EAST RESIDENTS
Building affordable homes to buy or rent is a top priority for four out of five (79%) south east residents, reveals...
Building affordable homes to buy or rent is a top priority for four out of five (79%) south east residents, reveals a survey published today. 87% of people are worried about the cost of housing in the region.
The South East England Regional Assembly commissioned research company MORI to carry out a representative survey as part of its consultation on the South East Plan, the region's new 20-year planning vision. MORI interviewed over 2,000 residents from across the south east about their views on housing, transport and employment policies in the draft Plan.
In spite of the wide concern about the cost of homes, opinion is divided on the need to increase the general supply of housing. A majority (57%) regard providing more housing as a priority; a third (35%) think current rates of development should be maintained, while a minority (22%) want to step up house building. By contrast, a large minority do not think general housing supply is important (41%), and want lower rates of housing development than at present (38%).
Assembly chief executive Paul Bevan said: 'These results reinforce our message to Government that increasing supply is only part of the answer to improving housing affordability in the region. We also need to see new approaches to affordability and greater public investment in housing.'
89% of residents rate their quality of life as good. More than two-thirds (67%) say that the region offers good employment opportunities and only a quarter want to see less emphasis on economic growth. 40% think economic development should be focused on the less successful parts of the South East, while half say the more buoyant parts of the region should also benefit.
Environmental and infrastructure concerns score highly. Nearly all residents attach priority to reducing rubbish and pollution (96%), protecting the countryside (94%), increasing health services (93%) and tackling congestion (89%).
Other results of the survey include:
- When asked to choose from three housing options, opinion is almost evenly split between building at last year's rate (35%) and building less than last year (38%). 22% want to see more homes built than the past year.
- Over two-thirds of residents (69%) want to focus development in built-up areas, with half (49%) preferring to increase urban densities rather than use greenfield land.
- 43% want the same, 26% want more and 25% want less economic growth in the region.
- More than half (55%) are mainly concerned about pressures on hospitals and local health services when building new homes.
- Nearly all want to see investment in maintenance of roads and railways and public transport within towns and cities (96% and 92%).
Household questionnaire results
Alongside MORI's representative face-to-face poll, 'Your Shout!' questionnaires were distributed door-to-door across the region.
61,000 responses were received, but mainly from the older generation. Only 1% of responses came from people under 24 who make up 12% of the region's population. By contrast, 43% of responses came from retired people (24% of the population).
In all, two-thirds of responses came from people over 55 and the survey results reflect their more cautious view towards change:
- 70% favour more affordable housing; 44% favour more housing generally
- 68% favour building fewer homes than we did last year
- 20% favour building at the same rate as last year
- 9% favour building more homes than last year
- 46% want to see economic growth at current levels; 10% want to see more growth
Research for the draft South East Plan, 2004-2005
Over the past year MORI has conducted three surveys for the assembly interviewing nearly 6,000 residents. Key consistent findings from all three surveys are:
- Quality of life in the south east has been rated highly (around 90% in all surveys). Only 6% are dissatisfied with life in the south east compared to 11% in the North East, North West and Yorkshire and Humber and 12% in London.
- Housing and transport are the region's biggest problems. The cost of housing and road congestion have been of particular concern to residents over the last year.
- At the beginning of 2004, 82% stated traffic levels are a problem across the South East and three quarters (73%) felt that roads and public transport were not good enough to support further housing development.
1) The research reports by MORI, including Wave 3 - the latest report, are available on the assembly's website, http:www.southeast-ra.gov.uk/southeastplan/consultation/opinion_polls.html
2) The timetable for the preparation of the draft South East Plan can be viewed on http:www.southeast-ra.gov.uk/southeastplan/publications/updates/update-may_2005.pdf
3) Further details of consultation responses will be added to the assembly's website when analysis of comments is complete, please see www.southeast-ra.gov.uk/southeastplan.
4) Consultation on the draft South East Plan Consultation was from 24 January to 15 April 2005.
5) The South East England Regional Assembly is the 'voluntary regional chamber' for the south east. It was established in January 1999 to give a representative voice to the south east region, which covers Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, and Surrey.
6) The regional assembly is made up of 112 members including elected councillors nominated by the region's local authorities and 37 representatives from other sectors of the community (including business, trades unions, education, housing, health, sports, culture, tourism, faith groups, environmental, community and voluntary organisations) as well as the New Forest National Park Authority.
7) The assembly has three areas of core business:
a) It is the representative voice of the south east, engaging and representing its member organisations and, through them, the wider public.
b) The assembly has a specific role under the Regional Development Agencies' Act 1998 to ensure the accountability of the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) to the region.
c) The assembly has been the regional planning body for the south east since April 2001. It has responsibility for proposing strategic planning and transport policies to government.
