Willy Caballero proved an unlikely hero with three penalty saves as Manchester City beat Liverpool 3-1 in a Wembley Stadium shootout on Sunday to win the English League Cup.
The game finished 1-1 following extra time, Philippe Coutinho equalising for Liverpool in the 83rd minute after Fernandinho had put City ahead early in the second half, and Caballero took centre-stage in the shootout.
The 34-year-old Argentine, who deputises for Joe Hart in cup competitions, saved penalties from Lucas Leiva, Coutinho and substitute Adam Lallana and although Fernandinho hit the post with his spot-kick, Yaya Toure stroked home the decisive penalty to give City victory.
On his decision to keep faith with Caballero, City manager Manuel Pellegrini said: "I'd rather lose the title than lose my word.
A tearful Caballero said: "It's amazing to win this cup. It is fantastic for the blue (City) people.
It was City's second League Cup triumph in three seasons, and fourth in total, and ensures that Pellegrini will sign off with at least one trophy before handing over the reins to Pep Guardiola.
His Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, met with disappointment in his first attempt to win a trophy following his appointment as the successor to Brendan Rodgers in October.
Liverpool, who lost Mamadou Sakho to a first-half head injury, have gone four years without a trophy since winning the last of their eight League Cups in 2012, raising the stakes yet further ahead of their Europa League clash with arch rivals Manchester United.
Klopp elected to pick midfielder Lucas and Sakho at centre-back, but Sakho hurt himself in an early clash of heads with team-mate Emre Can and looked wobbly as Sergio Aguero slipped past him to curl in a shot that Simon Mignolet brilliantly touched onto the left-hand past.
The French international left the fray moments later, Kolo Toure entering the fray, but had to be convinced of the need for his withdrawal by Klopp and flung a water bottle to the ground in disgust as he walked off.
Fernandinho was playing wide on the right for City, as he had in the mid-week Champions League win at Dynamo Kiev, and four minutes into the second half he provided the breakthrough.
Aguero waited for him to make an overlapping run and the Brazilian duly obliged before drilling in a shot that seemed to go straight through Mignolet.
It was the latest in a succession of blunders by the Belgium international and replays of the goal on the big screens drew groans from the Liverpool end.
Two City old boys almost combined to forge an equaliser, James Milner shooting wide from Daniel Sturridge's through-ball, before Raheem Sterling-roundly booed by fans of his former club-squandered a gilt-edged chance to make it 2-0 by shooting wide from David Silva's pass.
He also miscued from an Aguero cut-back and they were to prove costly misses as, with seven minutes to go, Liverpool levelled.
Sturridge played a low cross into the box from the right and although Lallana contrived to hit the post from close range, Coutinho followed in to side-foot home. It was Liverpool's first shot on target.
Mignolet partly redeemed himself by saving sharply from Fernando and, in extra time, Aguero before Caballero repelled a header from substitute Divock Origi at the other end.
It was the first save he had had to make, but there were three more to come.
Can settled Liverpool's nerves with a classy Panenka penalty before Fernandinho hit the post, but with Caballero thwarting Lucas, Coutinho and Lallana, penalties from Jesus Navas, Aguero and Yaya Toure saw City home.


The Angelina Ballerina DVD, Mousical Medleys, will be released tomorrow. This new video features high-quality Spanish audio, along with audio tracks in English and French. Watching this DVD in Spanish can be an excellent language-learning experience for children. and will be available on DVD, Digital Download and Video on Demand.
The Spanish audio is intended for native speakers, but is also valuable for children learning the language. It is important for children to be exposed to native speaker Spanish at a natural rate. If you have a little one who loves to dance and is learning Spanish, this DVD is an excellent choice. Making language relevant is key to engaging kids, and there is no better way to do that than tapping into their interests.
Angelina Ballerina: Mousical Medleys has five short episodes, making it manageable for language learners. If your child is just beginning to learn Spanish, she will get the most out of the video if she watches with the English audio first. Then, change the audio to Spanish and let her absorb sounds, structures and vocabulary as she watches Angelina dance. Regardless of their level, children will learn more Spanish and have more fun if parents provide support. Try these simple steps to help your child get the most out of the video in Spanish.
Watch short segments at a time.
There is a lot of language in even a small amount of video. Be sure not to overwhelm your child. Watch for just a short time and keep the video fun and special.
Use words your child knows to talk about the video.
Much of the vocabulary in the video will be familiar, even to beginners. Use words your child knows to talk about what you see. You can pause the video and comment with simple Spanish sentences: Cantan muy bien. Van a bailar. Les gusta bailar y cantar.
Use the images to teach new words.
Children will associate the language with the images on the screen. You can pause the DVD to point to objects or repeat what a character said. You can also rewind and watch again. One or two new words at a time is plenty. You can always add more later.
Singing is an excellent way to practice Spanish. Help children learn a line or two in the songs. You do not have to sing the whole song. For example, in the first episode, Angelina y el teatro musical, the characters welcome everyone to their show singing Muy bienvenidos sean a nuestro show. The tunes are catchy and fun to sing. Choose a couple of lines and sing the song with your child as you go about your daily routine.
Repetition is essential for language learning. Children learning Spanish will not understand all of what they hear, but as they watch the video again they will understand and remember more.
Movement enhances language learning, and Angelina Ballerina is about moving. Several of the episodes have movements combined with simple language that children can do. For example, in Angelina y el desfile de Camembert, an episode about a parade, the characters march and count. This is a simple movement to combine with language.
Watching the video, kids will understand the words and see the movements. Doing the movements and repeating the words, they will process the language at a deeper level.
Once your child is familiar with the story, choose an important word and listen for it. A few of the key words for each episode are listed below. When you hear the word, do a quick action that will not distract from the flow of the story – clap, drop something into a box, repeat the word, etc. If your child is good at this, you can each listen for different words to see who can hear more.
Follow up with related activities.
Use the vocabulary and structures from the video when you do other activities. For example, if you are painting with your child, you can use words from Angelina y el show de arte like pintura and pincel. If you go to a parade, use the words from the parade episode. Give the words more context by reminding your child of where she heard them: Es un desfile como vimos en el video de Angelina. Veo un tambor.
The Angelina Ballerina website in Spanish has a variety of fun printable materials. The coloring pages (hojas de colorear) are excellent for talking about the characters and using the vocabulary from the video. There are also printable door hangers (colgadores de puerta) and postcards (postales) with Spanish text. It is important for children learning Spanish to be exposed to the language in print as much as possible. The door hangers and postcards have simple phrases that are perfect for language learners. Children who have more Spanish will also enjoy the songs on the website. There is a reproductor de música with a number of songs in Spanish.
There are positive messages about friendship, hard work and patience carefully woven into the video, and these messages are meant to apply to more than ballet. Like dance, a language is a skill that takes time, practice and patience to learn. Also, like learning to dance, learning Spanish is fun – a process to be shared with friends and full of small accomplishments to celebrate. The DVD Angelina Ballerina: Mousical Medleys can be an engaging, valuable part of that process.
Disclosure: The company sent me the DVD to write this article. All of the ideas and opinions are my own.


Linux operating systems have tons of open source network monitoring tools on the web. Say, you can use iftop command to check bandwidth usage, netstat command to see reports on interface statistics or top command to watch running process on your system. But if you are really looking for something that can give you a real time statistics of your network bandwidth of per process usage, then NetHogs is the only utility you should look for.
NetHogs is an open source command line program (similar to Linux top command) that is used for monitor real time network traffic bandwidth used by each process or application.
NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most tools do, it groups bandwidth by process. NetHogs does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. If there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this. This makes it easy to identify programs that have gone wild and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth.
This article explains you on how to install and find out real time per process network bandwidth usage with nethogs utility under Unix/Linux operating systems.
To install nethogs, you must turn on EPEL repository under your Linux systems and then run the following yum command to download and install nethogs package.
To install nethogs, type the following apt-get command to install nethogs package.
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 318 not upgraded.
Need to get 27.1 kB of archives.
After this operation, 100 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Selecting previously unselected package nethogs.
To run the nethogs utility, type the following command under red-hat based systems.
To execute it, you will must have root permissions, so run with sudo command as shown.
As you see above the send and received lines show the amount of traffic being used by per process. The total sent and received usage of bandwidth calculated at the bottom. You can sort and change the order by using the interactive controls discussed below.
Following are the nethogs command line options. Using '-d' to add a refresh rate and 'device name' to monitor specific given device or devices bandwidth (default is eth0). For example, to set 5 seconds as your refresh rate, then type the command as.
To monitor specific device (eth0) network bandwidth only, use the command as.
To monitor network bandwidth of both eth0 and eth1 interfaces, type the following command.
-d : delay for refresh rate.
-h : display available commands usage.
-V : prints Version info.
Following are some useful interactive controls (Keyboard Shortcuts) of nethogs program.
-m : Change the units displayed for the bandwidth in units like KB/sec -> KB -> B-> MB.
-r : Sort by magnitude of respectively traffic.
-s : Sort by magnitude of sent traffic.
-q : Hit quit to the shell prompt.
For a full list of nethogs utility command line options, please check out the nethogs man pages by using command as 'man nethogs' or 'sudo man nethogs' from the terminal. For more information visit the Nethogs project home page.

Please welcome Sarah Rayner, author of Getting Even, as she tackles our Desert Island Interview!
My name is Sarah Rayner and I live in Brighton, England with my husband and stepson, Sebastian, aged 16, but I was born and raised in London. My first job was in fashion PR, but after a few months my boss took me on one side and told me I was 'better at writing than wooing clients', and suggested I become an advertising copywriter. I took the hint and worked for 25 years in various London agencies – experiences I drew on to write my latest novel, Getting Even, a tale of bonding and backstabbing set in England.
It had better be something practical, as whilst I'm pretty au fait with office politics, my desert-island-survival skills aren't up to much. 'A Guide To The Resources And Materials Available In The Wild And How To Use Them For Food, Shelter, Warmth And Navigation' isn't typically what I'd choose to have on my bedside table, but if I'm to make it beyond 24 hours without a bed, never mind a table, I think it would be a good idea!
I suppose a maid is out of the question? I guess so. Hmmm, well if I'm going to have no fiction to hand, I'm going to have to use my imagination. In which case I'd better get writing: I'll have a fountain pen with an endless supply of ink and paper, please.
A lighter. I'm not very patient (to put it mildly – though I don't think anyone who's worked in advertising ever is – it's an industry driven by immediate gratification, after all) and having to rub two sticks together to make fire would drive me nuts.
I don't mind solitude but I do mind physical discomfort (let's just say camping and I are not great buddies). So, as long as I wasn't cold or hungry or thirsty, I'd be OK, but given my lack of survival skills (see 1) this doesn't seem highly likely. In other words, I'd go pretty crazy, but it wouldn't be loneliness that caused it.
Ah, that's easy! My husband, Tom. And before you think I've gone soft, it's because he's very practical, so I'd have a far better chance of surviving with him than without. Plus he's a chef and can cook up a storm, even if it would all be made from seaweed and creepy crawlies.
My Babyliss Big Hair Styler – how on earth will I achieve that just blow-dried look otherwise?
Coffee. I so need a cup in the morning. I'll have to rely on the bugs and snakes to get me out of bed instead!
A fortnight. The bugs, the lack of a blow dry and caffeine withdrawal would get to me after that.
Ask for some lovely crispy French bread, a selection of cheeses and a very large glass of wine.
Revenge thas never been such fun. How would you feel if your best friend at work betrayed you? Was secretly having an affair with an influential colleague? Won a coveted promotion, then teamed you up with a mere junior, leaving you feeling completely demoted? What would you do? For Ivy there's no choice. The only person she has ever trusted, Orianna, has blown it big time. So there's only one way forward: revenge.

Volvo Buses has received an order for 220 city buses to Caracas, Venezuela. This is Volvo's second largest order to date for buses in South America.
The buses were ordered by C.A. Metro de Caracas, which operates the subway in the Venezuelan capital. The new buses will be used on 24 feeder lines to the subway stations.
The bus chassis is the Volvo B7RLE, a low-entry chassis with a 7-liter engine. The chassis are being manufactured in Volvo Buses' plant in Curitiba, Brazil. The bodies are being built by the Fanabus company in Guacara, Venezuela. Fourteen of the buses are already on the road in Caracas. The other chassis from Volvo Buses will be delivered through October this year.
Volvo Buses is not selling solely the buses, but is also providing spare parts, special tools and training for mechanics in cooperation with the Volvo Group's company in the country, Mack de Venezuela.
"The key factors that were decisive to Volvo's advantage, in addition to the quality of the actual buses, was the total solution Volvo offered," says Luiz Miguel Pichardo, one of the persons responsible for the project within C.A. Metro de Caracas.
He relates that one of the goals with the new buses, with the low entry, is to reduce the stop time at the bus stops, which will contribute to increasing the transport capacity.

Land reform 2020
Land reform 2020 13.12.2019 16:31
Land reform, which began after Ukraine gained independence and was intended to provide an effective legal mechanism for the transition from a planned to a market-based model of the economy, has lasted for three decades. During this time in our country has not been formed a full-fledged land market. That is why the land reform that has not yet been completed has become almost the longest in the world, even bypassing land reform in Mexico, which has lasted over 23 years.
The reasons for such an archaic and ineffective system of legal regulation of land relations originate from the socialist past of our state. Thus, according to the legislation of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, individuals and non-state enterprises could not own land. After the proclamation of the State Sovereignty of Ukraine on July 6, 1990 and the adoption of a new Land Code on December 18 of that year, every citizen of the Ukrainian SSR enshrined the right to land. The Land Code of 1990 prohibited agreements on the sale, donation and pledge of land.
On December 3, 1999, Presidential Decree No. 1529/99 established a requirement for the liquidation of PCBs (collective agricultural enterprise) by dividing their property, including land shares (shares) between their members.
Subsequently, the process of allocation of shares to Ukrainians became widespread, resulting in millions of citizens receiving property rights.
The history of the current moratorium on the sale of agricultural land dates back to October 25, 2001, when a new Land Code No. 2768 –III was approved. In Item 15 of Section X "Transitional Provisions" placed a temporary ban (till 1 January 2005) for the citizens of Ukraine and legal entities to sell or otherwise alienate their land or part (shares), intended for conducting peasant (farmer) farming and other commodity agricultural production, except for public needs.
The ban was in force until 01.01.2005, but the Laws of 06.10.2004 and 19.12.2006 extended the moratorium until 01.01.2008 with the overcoming of the President's veto on 11.01.2007. Therefore, by the Laws of 03.06.2008 and 20.12.2011, the moratorium was in effect indefinitely, after all its validity was prolonged with the entry into force of the Laws of Ukraine "On the State Land Cadastre" and "On the Land Market", which provided for the lifting of the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land since 2013 and the creation of the State Land Bank. The draft law also provided for the possibility of selling land only to citizens of Ukraine and not more than 100 hectares, at the same time, the maximum leased area was limited to 6,000 hectares or 5% of the total land area in the region. However, this bill has not been further considered.
Amendments introduced by the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to the Land Code of Ukraine" of 20.11.2012, again extended the moratorium before the enactment of the law on turnover of agricultural land, but not before 1 January 2016. However, in October 2016, the Law of Ukraine "On Amendments to Section X" Transitional Provisions ", of the Land Code of Ukraine, to continue the ban on the alienation of agricultural land The Verkhovna Rada continued the moratorium, replacing one date in the Land Code with another, as indicated by "accepted figures "2017" replace numbers "2018".
In September 2019, incumbent President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the government to develop and approve a land reform model, and abolish the moratorium on agricultural land sales until December 1, 2019.
According to the President's instruction, on September 25, 2019, the Cabinet of Ministers approved and registered in the Parliament a draft law "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on the Circulation of Agricultural Land" № 2178, which, as of 1 October 2020, lifted the prohibition on the alienation of agricultural land of all forms of ownership.
As stated in the explanatory note, the draft law was designed to create a legislative framework for conducting market circulation of agricultural land, ensuring the constitutional rights of the citizens of Ukraine to dispose of their property freely, creating transparent conditions for the acquisition of agricultural land by citizens and legal entities.
The provisions of the draft Law determines the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the circulation of agricultural land on the basis of market mechanisms for the transfer of rights to them. In this manner:
To acquire ownership of agricultural land can:
Citizen of Ukraine.
Legal entities created for the legislation of Ukraine.
Territorial communities.
A minimum starting price for the sale of land and state and municipal property at land auctions shall be set at a level not lower than the regulatory monetary valuation.
Restrictions are imposed on the aggregate area of agricultural land, which may be owned by a citizen and a legal entity, and persons associated with it. Restrictions do not allow the acquisition of more than 15% of agricultural land in the region and 0.5% of agricultural land in Ukraine.
The pre-emptive right of the tenant to purchase the land is secured.
It is the duty of the state registrar to provide information on the price (value) of real rights, including rights of use in the Register of Real Rights.
The right of citizens to purchase land for the maintenance of peasant (farmer) economy, which they belong to the right of permanent use and the right of lifelong inherited possession, is ensured. It is possible to buy with installments of up to 5 years at a price equal to the normative monetary valuation of such land.
The moratorium cannot be lifted in one day. And for a fair sale of land you need to do a great job. The main prerequisites for the creation of a civilized land market and efficient, highly competitive agricultural production are the completion of agricultural inventories, the elimination of deficiencies in cadastral land valuation, the timely updating of the State Land Cadaster and state registers. In addition, before the introduction of agricultural land in Ukraine, it is also necessary to elaborate and adopt a legislative framework for the formation of a developed network of farms and agricultural cooperatives.
Equally important is the creation of a financial and lending institution to provide an opportunity to obtain a preferential mortgage loan for the purchase of land by those who wish to work on it. Experts believe that the loan should be provided at 1-2% for 40 years. It is clear that in the current difficult conditions, this can only be done with the help of the international community, which, by the way, expresses its keen interest in opening a civilised land market in Ukraine.
According to World Bank estimates, the land moratorium causes significant damage to the Ukrainian economy. Due to the fact that the land cannot be sold and bought in the state there is no full-fledged land market, the value of allotments is reduced. And it also affects the lease, from which the shareholders annually keep about $3 billion. State budget losses from the reduced rental price in 2018 amounted to at least $60 million. Interestingly, these figures only take into account the land registered in the land cadaster. The lifting of the moratorium would allow Ukraine to increase its GDP by 1-1.5% annually.
However, while maintaining a free land market, many experts, including the Ukrainian Agrarian Club, believe that there must be some restrictions. Thus, to prevent chaos, the government's concept of the land market is based on small and medium-sized agricultural producers. It is proposed to introduce a maximum holding size of no more than 200 hectares per hand. That is, a family of four will be able to set up a farm with a land bank of 800 hectares, which is more than enough for efficient farming.
In addition to the government, the agrarian committee of the Verkhovna Rada has its position. Taking into account the proposals of the Institute of Agricultural Economics, USAID, the World Bank and other specialists, he developed the project "Concepts of agricultural land circulation", which also provides for a maximum size of land for individuals - citizens of Ukraine up to 200 hectares, and legal entities, taking into account the control relations can own no more than 30% of agricultural land in the area, or 10 thousand hectares within one area or 2% of agricultural land in the region, or 40 thousand hectares within one area; or 0.5% of agricultural land in Ukraine. However, it is noted that such restrictions do not apply to the area of land leased by legal entities that they are already cultivating. It is hard to say that the proposed restrictions will prevent the creation of land monopolies.
At the same time, a number of politicians, experts and just ordinary citizens are strongly opposed to the opening of the land market. First of all, small and medium-sized enterprises, and especially farmers, mainly against the land market. Their concerns include the rise in rents, the emergence of a basis for raid attacks or protests by shareholders, lack of money to buy land, inability to borrow, and so on. Some farmers "predict" that after the introduction of the land market, Ukrainian black earth will buy foreigners. But if they agree to introduce the land market, then only after three conditions are fulfilled: the end of hostilities in the East, overcoming corruption and resumption of sustainable economic development in the country.
In addition, people vote against because they understand that under the current conditions, neither they nor their children will be able to buy land. If the holdings are ready to buy everything now without borrowing money, then the ordinary peasants do not have the money for it. Therefore, the poverty of the vast majority of the population is a serious obstacle to the establishment of a fair land resources market.
Therefore, the main problem with the existence of a moratorium is that land remains an illiquid asset, and the peasants therefore do not have access to financial resources. And it should be noted that the abolition of the moratorium on the sale and purchase of land is already in favor of 42 organizations that bring together about 1500 agricultural producers, enterprises, banks, organizations and associations. The lifting of the moratorium is a positive phenomenon. Because it's prolongation each time impedes the development of rural areas and agriculture, hinders the redistribution of land resources to a more efficient owner and producer, lowers the rent and owner income, and also limits access to credit. Under such conditions, landowners have no incentive to invest in the development of such land.

SNAILED IT! An Interview With Snails
Snails is a Montreal-based producer and DJ who pushes a forward-thinking brandof dance music combining trap rhythms, dirty bass lines and off-kilter sound design. His first tracks appeared online in 2012 on Kannibalen Records. Since then he has amassed a burgeoning fanbase of snail-heads and basslovers. Recent releases like "Dirty Raxxx", "RBBR" and "SLUGZ" blend hypnotic melodies, huge drops and mind-bending sample manipulation into a tight, dancefloor friendly package. Snails' latest track "Wild", co-produced with Antiserum and released on Skrillex's Owsla Records, was one of the standout tracks at the 2014 edition of Ultra Music Festival. Having recently signed with Circle Talent, Snails looks primed to bring his unique take on dance music to the mainstream.
Interview by Paul Salfen
First you'll hear a loud guttural sound and then you'll hear booming laughter. When you turn around, you might see Frederik Durand – aka Snails – posing for a picture with one of his fans during his "taco party" meet and greet. But the 29-year-old French Canadian DJ doesn't limit this kind of fun to special VIPs – he's known to take hours after every show and meet with any fan that sticks around. Whether he's making these guttural sounds in person or on stage, the man who coined the term "Vomitstep" to describe his deep bass sound is clearly enjoying his rise to the top. His jovial nature is seen on social media and in person backstage as he pours straight alcohol – and quite a bit of it – down his friends' throats and cheers loudly if there's a chance they could throw up.
But the fun isn't all with the fans or backstage – it's in the music. Between his collaboration with Flux Pavilion, the plays by Skrillex, the festival sets at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Ultra, and EDC – and his own festival, Sluggtopia, at Red Rocks in Colorado, Durand is joyfully bringing his 150,000 watts of PK sound – and all the fun that goes along with it – across the world now.
Before his set at Southside Ballroom, he sat down to talk all things Snails.
AMFM Magazine: So what's this we hear about expecting bass that could literally rattle us and maybe make us sick?
Snails: Oh yeah, we started working with PK, which is my favorite type of sound ever. That's the best part of bass music ever because you can feel it. [Makes ratting bass sound: "bvvvvvvvvv"] That's the beautiful part of it: the fans, the kids – they love it. It's a headbanger – the name complements the music and everything.
AMFM: It's 150,000 watts?
Snails: Some venues we cannot push it to the limit but it's something like 100,000 on the smaller rooms but that [pointing to the main stage], you can push it to, like, 150. It's crazy.
AMFM: Surely you've checked this out for yourself.
Snails: Yeah, but I have to put the mask on because most of the time they go, "Ahhhh! I see Fred. Ahhhhh!" So I just put the mask on and go see but it just complements the songs. It's so good. It gives it power. It's like the song is the skeleton and this gives it the beef, the flesh to it. It makes sense for that type of music.
AMFM: Of course you've been very active on social media – but we've been seeing you post photos outside of the venues, including this one – and with fans that are there, which is going the extra mile.
Snails: I feel like that's really important to connect with the fans. I try to take at least 20 minutes minimum after the show and I'll just go out front and say what's up and thank you. I've been that person at the rail listening so when they come in and listen to the music and love it – that's the least I can do.
AMFM: You've said you were a fan at the rails. What was the song that did it for you and made you want to do this?
: It was The Bloody Beetroots, when I heard their song called "Warp." I heard that around the time of Steve Aoki and I said, "Whoa, that's crazy!" It was more electronic than the punk/metal scene I came from and it was just so crazy that I got super into it from that point.
AMFM: I understand you have a pretty diverse set now. What can we expect?
Snails: We wanted to focus on the album so the whole album is in there. Gary, who is my inflatable snail, is in there as well so that's super fun. And there's a bunch of new songs from other artists that I love so that will be a part of it. So it's pretty much a good combination of bass music that I've been influenced by and kind of a recap of my whole last year of music. For me it's important to really show everything to show appreciation for what I'm doing.
AMFM: You've also been doing some pretty interesting collaborations with bands you grew up listening to.
Snails: Yeah, it's crazy. I'm still mind-blown that I can just call him. Liam [Cormier] is part of a band called Cancer Bats that I've been listening to for, like, 10 years. When I saw him, I was like, "Yo! It's you! We're in the same room." [Laughs] I was talking to him and he said, "Yo, I'm going to crash at your house for two or three days" and he came to the show I was playing in at a place in Montreal. It's mind-blowing to see that they're open to working on different collaborations that are the gateway from their style to my world. It was the same with From First To Last. It was a good vibe and we're just having fun at the end of the day, you know?
AMFM: Have you learned a lot trying to marry the two genres?
Snails: Yeah, definitely. I was saying, it should be like, "dat-dat-dat-dat" and they said, "Yeah, well, this is metal and if you want it to be like that, it should be, "dat-dat-dat." It made a good experience of that kind of construction with that kind of detail. That whole thing brought me a new perspective of building songs. That's good that they gave me that experience because most people are good friends and they just say, "OK, that's good. Let's try that."
AMFM: We're not hearing that much hardcore or metal in EDM.
Snails: Not that much, yeah. And for me, it was needed. If I wanted to do a more metal song, I want to make sure that person has a good stamp on it. Like, "Oh, shit. This guy is legit!" not "Oh, Fred's trying to do metal." It was important to work with the right people that have a good stamp on that genre of music. From First To Last has been there forever and can survive so really it happened to be a really good song in the end so I'm super happy about it.
AMFM: You've been meeting a lot of aspiring DJs that are, like you, fans. What do you tell them about what they're getting into because it's a strange business?
Snails: Yes, it is a really crazy business. Even for me on my end, when I started in the business, I said, "Mom, I want to be a DJ!" and she said, "OK, well, bye-bye. It doesn't work." I had to finish my schooling and everything. When I started…she's my accounting, too, so she's like, "You need to save money so you can not work for a year." For me, it's a big step to do it for talent but also has to be a full-time thing. If you have five jobs, it doesn't work – depending on what level you want to do. So I left my girlfriend, I left my friends, I left everything and sat in the studio and worked on those crazy ideas. I was thinking of the crazy branding and marketing so it all came together at the same time. I was in the direction of finding the "Snailed It" mix. I've always been my own art director so everything has come from my head. So I'd say think outside of the box. That's the most important thing. Go further than being inside that box with everyone doing the same thing. If people don't like that I call it "vomitstep," I don't care. It's more about going out there and pushing it and thankfully I got it. Thank you, God…I had one chance in a million to work but it was good luck. That's why I meet everyone and thank them for their time and support and buying a shirt. At the end of the day, I work for them. Some people can mistake that if the people outside say, "Come, talk about the music." and you don't, that's your first error. It could take two hours, but I don't care. It's because of them I get to do what I love.
AMFM: And your mom looks after you!
Snails: Oh yeah, all of the time.
AMFM: She has to be pretty proud now that she sees you succeed.
Snails: Oh, that was the most important thing. This is the person you love most so I was like, "What if it doesn't work? Fuck, I'm fucked!"
AMFM: Especially with a French-Canadian mom!
Snails: I know! She's like [makes a slapping movement and sound] "After 8 months, you're done, kid!" NO! I needed that limit. If I had 10 years to do it, I'd be like, "Well, I'm gonna fucking chill. If I was her, "I'd be like, 'Fred, try it and if it doesn't work, at least you tried it.' But every show I'm thinking, "What would she think about it?"
AMFM: And now you get to enjoy your time in the sun – with tacos.
Snails: Taco party is the perfect example because my dad is Mexican – from Acapulco – so every month in high school me and my best friend would do a taco party – it was like a tradition. So it would be 5 or 10 friends and my mom would cook tacos on a Friday so I wanted to bring that experience on the road. Meet and greets can be awkward and weird like, "Hey, what's up? Cool, thank you." But I'm like, "You know what? Are you hungry? Let's eat." We can talk about where we're from and break the ice over tacos. People love it.
AMFM: The music is called "vomitstep" but have you seen people actually get sick from it?
Snails: Yeah, it's funny because I receive a Twitter all the time from people saying, "I know the meaning of vomitstep." [Makes vomit noise] Holy mother! Well, if it goes to that point, yeah. Hell yeah. And people will say, "I went to the show and saw puke on the floor." Is it a good or bad thing? I don't know but it's good to keep the name going. It could be disgusting but that's why I created it. The people will love it that are as intense and passionate as me. The kids that are super passionate and do candy and the outfits are super supportive. That was my goal. I wanted to aim for the craziest people. Like me.
AMFM: You're bending the genre a little bit. In your opinion, where is electronic music going?
Snails: There's a lot of nonstop evolution around that movement and that's the beauty of it. But I'm not able to say where it's going. There's that movement called Riddim now and people like Squnto are big in that. But who knows? We never know. But I like that mysterious thing. In my position as an artist, we don't know what could be the next thing, so maybe I'm going to create it. So I'm going to try my best to do weird stuff and maybe I will be picked out for that next movement. It will push me to be better and crazier.
AMFM: Is there anyone you'd like to collaborate with next to further change the sound?
Snails: There's so many of them but the door is open. If I think a long time ago, I think Led Zeppelin, The Doors – or Slayer! But they're so big, at this point it's like dreaming. Megadeth would be crazy. But I try to diversify so that I can always learn more and more.
AMFM: So what can we expect next?
Snails: Lots of new music! I have lots of collaborations that I can put out now. I wanted to put that album out for so long. I've been working on stuff with Kill The Noise, Zeds Dead – and a bunch of metal bands. There's a bunch of stuff I'm excited to put out.

Sundance 2018: Bears in the Climate-Challenged Snow


I don't know what time it is, but it is late. Teeth brushing and drinks of water, trips to the bathroom–all happened at least one hour ago, probably close to two. Two out of three children are sound asleep in their beds, and the hold out is a tousle-haired two year old who I can't figure out. She's tired–I can see it in her eyes, and hear it in the slightly hysterical laughter that turns to crying in a second. I'm tired, and don't want to admit how closely I'm mirroring her emotional state. She will not stay in bed.
That is always the request that undoes me. At my most frustrated, tired point, those seven words stop me in my tracks. Guilty, aggravated, resentful… torrents of emotion twist my heart as I go back and wedge myself onto the edge of her toddler bed, gathering her small body into my arms.
"Mama, you're the best," she whispers, winding one arm around my neck. I know I'm not–bedtime is when I see my failing like a glare of sunlight off metal. But laying there beside her, I remember the mama I want to be.
But then, in the still dark, with that fractious, sinful child heart beating close to my fractious sinful mama heart; my mind still throwing around questions and excuses, I remember the mother I want to be. And that mama? She snuggles up to the two year old until that child's tired eyes close.
It's so easy at the crux of each frustrating event to feel like this always happened and will always happen, but it hasn't and it won't. This is just a phase, with a child who needs me. We always say we'll be there for our children and think of some hazy, far-off time in the future. But sometimes "there" is right now. Tonight. Snuggled up onto a toddler bed with the edge of the bed digging into your back.
Ultimately, I think these challenging parenting times are supposed to remind us of the parents we mean to be and the relationship we want to have with our kids: Never perfect, on our part or theirs, but seeking grace in the everyday moments. These challenging times in parenthood seem so long in the moment, but every age and stage of these babies is fleeting. One day–maybe not tonight, but one day–this two year old won't need me in this particular way.
Our relationship is going to grow and develop and change through the years, just like we both will personally. I hope that we're laying the groundwork here for a sweet friendship that will last through our lives. At the very least, I hope that she grows up knowing, whether she remembers this or not, that I will be there when she needs me.

Days of Palestine, Jerusalem -It was very emotional moment when Palestinian journalist, who was on hunger strike for 93 days, met his family inside Israeli hospital on Wednesday evening.
Mohamed Al-Qeeq went on hunger strike in protest against his administrative detention by the Israeli occupation. He ended his strike on Friday evening in the wake of reaching an agreement with the Israeli occupation to release him on May 21.
Attendants described the moment, when Al-Qeeq met his children, wife and father for the first time since his protest ended, as "very emotional."
"All praise be to Allah for my children's safety," he said. "I extend my thanks to the Palestinians, who stood firmly with me and encouraged me to continue until I won."
Head of the Palestinian Prisoners' Committee Amjad abu-Asab, who was there during the first meeting, said: "This was the first time that Mohamed had seen them for some time, and he missed them all. His father, who himself is a former prisoner, spoke to him as if he was a victorious leader."
Abu-Asab said that the Israeli occupation authorities did not issue visit permits for all of Al-Qeeq's close relatives. He pointed out that the permission for his children, wife and father was only given after a long wait.

«Псковитя́нка» — первая опера Николая Римского-Корсакова в трёх действиях, шести картинах на собственное либретто по сюжету одноимённой драмы Льва Мея. Впервые поставлена в Мариинском театре Санкт-Петербурга под управлением Эдуарда Направника в 1873 году, переработана композитором в 1894 году.

Одноактная опера «Боярыня Вера Шелога» написанная композитором в 1898 году, одновременно может являться и прологом к опере «Псковитянка».

Действующие лица
 Иван Грозный — бас;
 Князь Токмаков, посадник во Пскове — бас;
 Ольга, его приёмная дочь — сопрано;
 Боярин Матута — тенор;
 Боярышня Степанида Матута (Стеша) — сопрано;
 Михайло Туча, посадничий сын — тенор;
 Князь Вяземский — бас;
 Бомелий, царский лекарь — тоже бас;
 Юшко Велебин, гонец из Новгорода — бас
 Власьевна, мамка — меццо-сопрано;
 Перфильевна, мамка — меццо-сопрано.

Бояре, опричники, народ.

Сюжет
Действие происходит во Пскове и его окрестностях в 1570 году.

Действие первое
Картина первая. Сад близ дома князя Токмакова, царского наместника и степенного посадника во Пскове. Мамки Власьевна и Перфильевна ведут разговоры о том, что на вольный Псков идёт грозный царь московский Иван Васильевич, разгромивший новгородскую вольницу. Девушки играют в горелки, в которых не участвует приёмная дочь Токмакова, Ольга, шепчущаяся с подругой Стешей о любовном свидании с посадничьим сыном, Михайлом Тучей. Власьевна рассказывает девушкам сказку, но слышен свист Тучи. Все уходят в терем. К Туче тайком выходит на свидание Ольга. Между ними происходит нежная сцена. Услышав шум приближающихся шагов, Туча перелезает через забор, а Ольга прячется в кусты. Входят князь Токмаков со старым боярином Матутой, сватающим Ольгу. Токмаков сообщает Матуте, что Ольга — его приёмная, а не родная дочь, что её мать — боярыня Вера Шелога, а отца он не знает. Слышен звон, созывающий на вече. Ольга потрясена вестями, которые она подслушала.

Картина вторая. Площадь во Пскове. Сбегается народ. На площади новгородский гонец Юшка Велебин, он рассказывает о том, что Новгород взят, и что царь Иван Грозный приближается ко Пскову. Народ в замешательстве. Токмаков и Матута призывают псковичей к покорности. Туча протестует против этого решения, взывает к сопротивлению и удаляется со псковской молодёжью (вольницей) при звуках старинной вечевой песни. Толпа замечает слабость «вольницы», предвидит её гибель и скорбит о том, что «тяжка рука у грозного царя».

Действие второе
Картина первая. Большая площадь во Пскове. У домов — столы с хлебом-солью, в знак покорной встречи. Толпа в страхе и ожидании прибытия царя. Ольга сообщает Власьевне семейную тайну, которую она подслушала. Власьевна предвидит несчастье для Ольги. Открывается торжественный въезд царя при возгласах народа «Помилуй!».

Картина вторая. Комната в доме Токмакова. Токмаков и Матута с покорностью встречают Ивана Грозного. Ольга угощает царя, который относится к ней милостиво, заметив в ней сходство с матерью. Девушки славят царя. После того, как они уходят, царь, расспросив Токмакова, окончательно убеждается в том, что Ольга — его дочь, и, потрясённый воспоминаниями юности, объявляет: «Псков хранит Господь!»

Действие третье
Картина первая. Дорога в Печерский монастырь, глухой лес. В лесу царская охота. Начинается гроза. По дороге проходят девушки с мамками. От них отстала Ольга, которая затеяла странствие в монастырь лишь для того, чтобы по дороге встретиться с Тучей. Происходит встреча влюблённых. Внезапно на Тучу нападают слуги Матуты. Туча падает раненым; лишается чувств Ольга — её на руках уносит стража Матуты, который грозится рассказать царю Ивану об измене Тучи.

Картина вторая. Царская ставка под Псковом. Царь Иван Васильевич в одиночестве предаётся воспоминаниям. Раздумья прерываются известием, что царская стража схватила Матуту, пытавшегося похитить Ольгу. Царь в бешенстве и не слушает Матуту, пытающегося оговорить Тучу. Вводят Ольгу. Сначала недоверчивый, Грозный раздражённо говорит с ней. Но затем откровенное признание девушки в своей любви к Туче и её ласковая, проникновенная беседа покоряют царя. Туча, оправившись от раны, напал со своим отрядом на стражников, он хочет освободить Ольгу. Царь приказывает перестрелять вольницу, а Тучу привести к нему. Однако тому удаётся избежать плена. Издалека до Ольги доносятся прощальные слова песни любимого. Она выбегает из шатра и падает, сражённая выстрелом Вяземского по Туче. Ольга умирает. В отчаянии Грозный склоняется над телом дочери. Народ плачет о падении великого Пскова.

 В работе над либретто к опере некоторую помощь Римскому-Корсакову оказал П. И. Чайковский, приславший Корсакову уже готовое либретто по драме Мея, из которого Римский-Корсаков решил использовать некоторые фрагменты в третьем действии своего либретто.
 Тексты двух женских хоров из третьего действия написал М. П. Мусоргский.
 «Псковитянка» была первой оперой в Большом театре, поставленной под управлением Евгения Светланова в 1954 году, постановка этой же оперы в 1999 году стала последней работой Светланова в театре.

Постановки
 1 января 1873 — Мариинский театр, дирижёр Эдуард Направник;
 Иван Грозный — Осип Петров;
 Токмаков — Иван Мельников;
 Матута — Васильев 2-й;
 Туча — Орлов;
 Ольга — Юлия Платонова;
 Власьевна — Мария Леонова;

Q: How do I access remote mLab development db in Rails 5 app? I'm currently setting up a new Rails 5 app with an existing remote db in mongolab. I'm using mongoid. Here's how I've setup development under config/mongoid.yml:
database: <insert_database_name>
hosts:
 - <db_number>.mlab.com

options:
 user: <db_user_username>
 password: <db_user_password>

I even tried replacing the above params with the uri string inside development but no luck. I want to be able to access the remote db using rails console. What am I missing?

A: I use the same syntax that you use to config for database and it still work for me rails 5 and mongoid 5. Here what i set. Hope it help!!
  database: manga_app
  hosts:
    - ds151108.mlab.com:51108
  options:

    # The name of the user for authentication.
    user: 'xxx' (xxx is the username you set for database not the name you use to sign in)

    # The password of the user for authentication.
    password: 'yyy' (yyy is the password you set for the database not the password you use to sign in)

A: Resolved. Had to degrade the Rails installation to 4.2.7 and mongoid 4. Worked like a charm.

Toast the coriander, cumin and caraway in a dry pan on medium-high heat until fragrant. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and crush.
Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan on medium heat and fry the onions, garlic, pepper and chilies until they begin to brown, about 10 minutes.
Add the spices, the pepper mixture and all remaining ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add a bit more olive oil as needed.
Harissa spice paste is mainly composed of a blend of different chili peppers and is traditionally used in North African cuisine. This paste can be used to give bold flavor to stews, soups, meats, fish and dips. I especially love it on Roasted Veggies with Whipped Coconut Cream!
Chili peppers contain capsaicin which not only gives them their heat but also has anti-inflammatory effects and can also help to boost the metabolism. Red peppers are richer in vitamin C than most citrus fruits. They also have an abundance of antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin E, folate and manganese, which is especially valuable in the development of strong bones and connective tissue.

A painting of Muhammad Ali that is featured alongside other historic Kentucky icons on a Bardstown Road mural in Louisville has been vandalized.
The words "racist," "antisemitic" and "homophobe" were painted in orange over Ali's portion of the "Kentucky Rushmore" mural that is on the side of the former WHY Louisville store near the intersection of Bardstown Road and Bonnycastle Avenue.
The orange paint was eventually covered up with white paint.
The mural also features paintings of Abraham Lincoln, Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harlan Sanders and Triple Crown-winning thoroughbred Secretariat.
Orange paint was also used to fill in the eyes of Ali on the mural.
The Sweet Spot Candy Shoppe and Dundee Candy now occupies the former WHY Louisville location at 1583 Bardstown Road.

Johnny Hubbard, an employee at the Doo-Wop Shop, which is by the mural, said he first noticed the vandalism Wednesday around 11:30 a.m.
The Kentucky chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a national Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, has called on state and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate the vandalism targeting the painting of Ali, who was a follower of Islam, as a possible hate crime.
"As Americans, we must continue to stand up and loudly say no to hatred and division," CAIR-Kentucky Chair Waheedah Muhammad said in a statement.
The vandalism over Ali's portion of the mural comes just days after the conclusion of Ali Week, a community celebration of the world champion boxer and Louisville native who died in 2016.
Officials also unveiled new branding last week at the recently renamed Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport that honors the boxing champ.
This is not the first time the mural that was created by artist Margaret Morely has been hit with paint.
In 2015, WHY Louisville owner Will Russell admitted to spray-painting the front of his store and also painting red the eye of the horse on the mural. The Courier Journal previously reported that Russell said the spray-painting was artwork for his store.
A Louisville Metro Police Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions regarding potential vandalism suspects.

11 Animals That Hibernate That Aren't Bears
Stacy Tornio
Tornio has authored more than 15 books about nature, gardening, and getting kids outside.
Treehugger / Hilary Allison
Hibernation is an amazing physiological feat that is necessary for animal survival. Bears are the animals most known for hibernating, but they aren't the only ones. Turtles, snakes, wood frogs, and groundhogs are other animals that engage in some form of hibernation. Take a look at some of the animals that like to hide until spring arrives.
Flat-Tailed Dwarf Lemur
The fat-tailed dwarf lemur can hibernate for periods up to seven months.

The fat-tailed dwarf lemur is the only primate known to engage in a combined hibernation and torpor state for an extended period of time. Endemic to Madagascar, the fat-tailed dwarf lemur hibernates during the dry season when water is scarce. Nocturnal by nature, during hibernation fat-tailed dwarf lemurs also engage in periods of warming and increased heart rate.
Box Turtles
Box turtles sleep for about three or four months.

As reptiles, turtles are endothermic, meaning that they can't produce their own body heat and instead receive heat from the environment. To save energy, it's a must for turtles that they brumate when temperatures start dropping. Like hibernation, brumation is a period of inactivity during winter; unlike hibernation, however, bruation does not involve sleep. It varies from one turtle species to another, but box turtles generally dig a nice hole and brumate for three to four months.
Groundhogs are known to hibernate for months.
BrianEKushner / Getty Images
Traditionally relied upon to predict the weather, groundhogs (or woodchucks as they are also known) are true hibernators. The hibernation period can last up to five months, and during that time, a groundhog will lose a fourth of its body weight. During hibernation, their heart rates go from 80 to 100 beats per minute to only five or 10, their body temperature decreases from 99 to 37 degrees, and their breathing slows dramatically from 16 breaths per minute to only two.
The Hopi name for the poorwill means 'the sleeping one'.

The common poorwill is famous as the first known hibernating bird. Reduced food supply and harsh temperatures cause the torpor to hibernate. While other birds migrate or enter brief states of torpor like the hummingbird, the poorwill can be in a torpid state for several months. During torpor, the bird has a reduced breathing rate, lower body temperature, and a reduced heart rate.
Hedgehogs can make nests as much as 20 inches thick.
Ben Schonewille / Shutterstock
Toward the end of autumn, hedgehogs enter a state of torpor. In preparation, they look for the best places to build their nests, usually in a big pile of leaves or underneath old buildings or sheds. Hedgehogs tend to awaken during hibernation, as often as every two to four days, or as infrequently as once per month. When hedgehogs wake up during torpor, they may relocate to a new nest.
Wood Frogs

If it's late winter or early spring and you find a frog that's not moving, it might be a hibernating wood frog. During hibernation, the wood frog's heart actually stops beating and 35 to 45 percent of its body becomes frozen. Wood frogs actually go through a freeze and thaw pattern several times during the winter. In the spring, the frogs thaw and begin the feeding and mating process all over again.
Snails hibernate any time the weather reaches an extreme.
Kunut Manathanya / Shutterstock
Not all snails hibernate, but when they do, it's an interesting process. Snails hibernate any time the weather is extreme: in hot weather, when the process is known as estivation, and in cold temperatures. Since they come equipped with a built-in hibernation spot, they are ready for all weather conditions. During hibernation and estivation snails can use mucus to seal their shells and protect themselves from the elements. Depending on the species, snails can hibernate for as long as several months.
Even in a state of torpor, skunks will venture out to forage for food.
James Coleman / Shutterstock
Skunks are not true hibernators, but like hedgehogs, they may enter a state of torpor. For those in northern areas, skunks have longer periods of torpor, lasting a few months; in more southern regions, the period of dormancy is much shorter. During a torpid period, skunks will spend more time in their dens, waking occasionally to search for food. They will also breathe more slowly and have a lower temperature and heart rate.
The time a snake spends brumating varies from location to location.
tratong / Shutterstock
Nearly all snakes will experience some form of brumation (hibernation for cold-blooded animals), though the length of dormancy depends on location. For instance, a snake in Minnesota might hibernate for months, while one in southern Texas might only go a few weeks. Snakes take their cues from their surroundings; when the daylight hours become shorter, they are aware that winter is coming. During brumation, snakes experience periods of wakefulness when they'll travel outside of their resting spot to hydrate.
Despite hibernating, many bumblebees will die off during the winter.
thomas eder / Shutterstock
Not all bees hibernate, but bumblebees do. The bumblebee life cycle begins in the spring, when the queen bumblebee emerges from her winter underground hibernation. The queen lays broods of worker bees first, followed by new queens and male bees. At the end of the cycle, the old queen and worker bees die. The new queens feed heavily, dig underground hibernation spots, and the cycle begins again.
Bats may be in a state of torpor for periods as brief as a couple of hours.
All-stock-photos / Shutterstock
Bats go into a state of torpor when temperatures get cold and they need to conserve energy. Torpor in bats can last from a couple of hours to a month. During this time, the bat's heartbeat can go from 200 to 300 beats per minute down to as few as 10. In order to rewarm themselves from torpor passively, bats sometimes use energy from the sun.
Here's a video showing some of the other animals that hibernate:

Investment bank critics swing and miss
Pandemic changes notion that virtue — and supposedly profits — now lie in safer pursuits
Tom Braithwaite
James Gorman never really abandoned fixed-income trading at Morgan Stanley and that proved fortuitous © Bloomberg
The Major League Baseball season has begun, despite disruption from the coronavirus. Now fans can return to worrying about the sport's trend for increasingly dull games as more batters are struck out swinging for the fences.
In business, this last term — the risky attempt to hit the ball powerfully in search of home runs — has been widely adopted as a cautionary cliché. "We are proactive risk managers — we don't swing for the fences," said the chief financial officer at WPX Energy on a recent typical earnings call.
On Wall Street, it has become endemic. Since the 2008 crisis, even non-natives such as Morgan Stanley's Australian-born chief executive James Gorman have used it to describe what they are no longer doing.
No excessive risk taking, no outsized bets, no more monster trading desks. Virtue — and supposedly profits — now lie in safer pursuits. At Morgan Stanley, Mr Gorman shifted towards reliable wealth management. At Goldman Sachs, it was a historic pivot to consumer banking.
Over the past decade, investors and regulators aligned to chide the holdouts into shrinking or abandoning altogether their trading operations, especially in "fixed income" — bonds, interest rate products, currencies and commodities. This week ABN Amro became the latest to announce major cuts.
But at the same time the effects of the pandemic have challenged the prevailing narrative. Those who defied the fashion and clung on to big fixed income desks have seen the benefit this year. As markets swung violently and the US Federal Reserve slashed rates, investors and companies rushed to react. Banks cashed in.
It was not Goldman's new consumer lending business that made it money in the latest quarter but the trading that is much closer to its roots. Fixed income revenues were a colossal $4.2bn and the broader trading business contributed $1.9bn in net profits. The much ballyhooed consumer business made puny revenues of $258m, down from the first quarter, and recorded a loss.
Morgan Stanley made $3bn from fixed income trading in the quarter. Mr Gorman has done a good job talking up steadier business lines, but he never really abandoned fixed income trading. Other banks that did — such as UBS — felt the absence.
Barclays' CEO Jes Staley resisted a campaign by lead shareholder, activist investor Ed Bramson, to shrink the trading unit © Reuters
Nowhere has the trend brought more relief than at Barclays, where chief executive Jes Staley has resisted a campaign by his biggest shareholder, activist investor Ed Bramson, to shrink trading. Barclays made £1.5bn from fixed income trading.
Rather than admit defeat, Mr Bramson has dismissed the numbers as "distorted" by the coronavirus effects and noted that shares in Barclays continue to underperform those of Deutsche Bank, which has placed its trading business on a stricter diet.
"In the real world, investors continually show that they just do not care very much about the trading business," Mr Bramson wrote in a letter to his fund's investors. "If Barclays sincerely intends to prioritise shareholder value, this is something that, like DB, it will need to understand."
Well, maybe. Then again investors should care. Do they want exposure to the consumer, with spiralling unemployment and a tidal wave of defaults coming, or markets, with benign volatility and prices backstopped by the Fed?
Banks have managed to lose money recently not in trading accidents but through problems stemming from bad lending decisions and debt issuance — such as ABN Amro and Commerzbank's losses on Wirecard and Goldman's multibillion-dollar fine for its role in a vast Malaysian corruption scandal.
Meanwhile, massive fixed-income revenues have helped soak up massive provisions for future consumer loan losses at banks including JPMorgan Chase and Barclays. Some banks, such as Deutsche, have not needed big fixed income revenues as they are not making large provisions. Perhaps that means the German lender's business is fundamentally safer; it could also mean it cannot afford to confront the reality of its souring loan book. Who is swinging for the fences, really?

Q: FlatButton's onPressed prints null for a variable whose value was set from TextField's onChange function When value changes in the TextField, I try to capture the change, print it and then assign it to the newTaskTitle variable. I can capture and print the change to console only from the TextField's onChange function. But when I assign the value to newTaskTitle, it seems to work fine until I try to print it's value to console from the FlatButton's onPress function which results to null. It appears as if the value was never assigned from the TextField's onChange function at the first place.
The problem only goes away if newTaskTitle variable is moved up above the class definition.
What is the reason for this?

A: I think you should try moving the String newTaskTitle; from the build function and then make it a static property. So it becomes static String newTaskTitle;

A: I had the exact same problem. I just changed AddTaskScreen class to a statefull widget and moved the newTaskTitle variable outside the build method instead of declaring it inside the build method and it worked.
Hope It helps somebody.

A: I would suspect that this line newTaskTitle = newText; does not rebuild your page. Try to make it as a page's state by bringing it outside the build function.
String newTaskTitle;

@override
void build(BuildContext context) {
  ...

Try wrapping it inside setState().
setState(() => newTaskTitle = newText);

A: This is because the component is not re-built, so the printed value will always be the initial one (ie null) and not the one you update with the TextField.
You can re-built your Build method only in Statefull component. You can make one of the or changing the entire structure, or using the StatefullBuilder()
First you have to change the position of your variable:
String newTaskTitle;

Widget build(BuildContext context) {
 ...
}

Second, you have to use setstate() and, in this case, you have two options:
First Option:
    TextField(
      onChanged: (newText) => setState(() => newTaskTitle = newText),
    ),

Second Option:
    RaisedButton(
      onPressed: () {
        setState(() {});
        print(newTaskTitle)
      }
    )
