Forzani reports same-store sales
The Forzani Group (TSX: FGL), Canada's largest retailer of sporting goods, reported slightly higher sales for the fiscal 2009 "Back to School" selling season. Retail system sales for the seven-week period ended Sept. 21 increased 0.8 percent over the same period last year.

Franchise store sales, predominantly in Quebec, increased 3.5 percent for the seven-week period. Softgoods sales outpaced hardgoods and footwear.

Health Fitness board OKs reverse stock split to gain AMEX listing
Health Fitness Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: HFIT) said its board of directors has approved a one-for-two reverse stock split in order to qualify for listing on the American Stock Exchange.
The Listing Qualifications Panel of the AMEX Committee on Securities has conditionally approved Health Fitness for listing pursuant to its Alternative Listing Standards, provided the company meets the $2 share price requirement. The company said it expects to satisfy this requirement as a result of the reverse split.
"Listing on the AMEX is an important step toward improving trading stability and liquidity of our common stock," said Health Fitness Board Chairman Mark Sheffert in a statement. "Being listed on the AMEX will increase the company's exposure to a wider audience of institutional investors and ultimately enhance shareholder value."
The record and effective date for the reverse split will be Oct. 6, and trading on the AMEX will commence when the listing procedures have been completed by the Listing Qualifications Department of the AMEX. After the reverse split, Health Fitness will have approximately 9.6 million shares outstanding and authorized shares of 25 million. Wells Fargo Shareowner Services will serve as the company's exchange agent in connection with this reverse split.
Hanesbrands reports board of director changes
Hanesbrands (NYSE: HBI), parent of Champion, reported membership changes to the company's board of directors, the establishment of a lead director position, and the completion of its planned spin-off leadership succession.
Charles W. Coker, 75, will retire from the company's board of directors effective Dec. 8, 2008. A member of the board since the company became independent, Coker has served as chairman of the board's compensation committee and as presiding director and was instrumental in Hanesbrands' transition as an independent company.
To fill the board's 10th position after Coker's retirement, Ann E. Ziegler, senior vice president and chief financial officer of CDW Corp., has been elected to the company's board of directors, effective Dec. 8, 2008. Ziegler, 50, will serve for a term scheduled to end at the 2009 annual meeting of stockholders.
To complete the company's planned executive leadership succession, Board Chairman Lee A. Chaden, 66, will retire from the chairman position, and Hanesbrands CEO Richard A. Noll will add the chairman's role to his responsibilities. Chaden, who also has served in the executive chairman and chief executive officer roles with the company, will remain on the board of directors. All changes are effective Jan. 1, 2009.
In conjunction with Noll assuming the chairman and CEO roles, the board of directors has created the position of lead director to further enhance Hanesbrands' governance structure. J. Patrick Mulcahy, a member of the board since its inception, has been elected as lead director.

DSS Disobeying Court Orders, Maltreating Nnamdi Kanu In Their Detention – Lawyer
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead council of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has caimed that his client is being maltreated in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS).
KanyiDaily recalls that Justice Binta Nyako of a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered on December 2, 2021 that Nnamdi Kanu should not be discriminated against in the DSS detention.
However, in a statement on Tuesday morning, Ejiofor said that the DSS failed to provide food for his client despite the court order to allow him to enjoy comfort in detention.
The lawyer added that Kanu was being punished for complaining to the court about the harsh condition under which he is being held in custody.
The statement titled: "Update on today's visit to our indefatigable client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the Headquarters of the Department of State Services Abuja," reads:

"The routine visit to our client — Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was conducted on December 6, 2021, and in his usual practice, he extended his compliments to his millions of supporters. He remains profoundly grateful for the overwhelming support and show of solidarity thus far.
"Sadly, we observed with dismay, and indeed very worrisome that notwithstanding the far-reaching orders made by the Court on the 2nd of December 2021, the detaining authority being the DSS have in their usual style, flouted and/or ignored the said court orders.
"We were informed by our Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that none of the pronouncements made by the Court on the 2nd of December 2021 has been obeyed by the lawless DSS. They have unrepentantly continued to treat the Orders of the Court with the greatest disdain.
"Our Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu further informed us that he had not eaten anything since Sunday, apparently being punished because we dared to complain to the court about the harsh condition under which he is being held in custody. But, very, unfortunately, this should be the height of their reckless affront to the orders of the court.

"At the time Her Lordship made these far-reaching orders in open court, I did not mince words in bringing to the attention of the court that the operatives of the DSS will flout these orders, pursuant to which the court specifically directed me to come back to her with these facts if her order is flouted by the detaining authority.
"Interestingly, we will be approaching the court immediately with this terrifying development, which is totally unacceptable, grossly condemnable, and intolerable.
"The facts must be placed in their proper perspectives: Our Client – Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not been convicted for committing any crime, he is still presumed innocent of every unfounded and frivolous allegation against him, and as such, the DSS has no power whatsoever to whittle down the enjoyment of any of his rights clearly protected under Chapter 4 of the Constitution.
"The detaining authority (DSS) is an Agency clearly established by instrumentality of the laws and should operate within the confines of the same laws establishing them, and should not be seen as a lawless entity, which unfortunately is what they represent in practice.

"We hereby, demand without further ado, for the immediate compliance with all the orders of the Court clearly made on the 2nd of December 2021 and thereby state further that any attempt to violate these orders must be faced with strict sanctions by the Court, having commenced the process incidental thereto.
"We respectfully wish to assure our Client's teeming supporters that we cannot leave anything to chance towards ensuring that our Client is sufficiently protected and his rights are upheld. The DSS must and shall certainly operate within the confines of the laws.
"Be assured that we are not resting on oars whatsoever, to ensure that our Client is unconditionally released. This strategy isn't being discussed here, but it will happen soon."
KanyiDaily recalls that Nnamdi Kanu's younger brother, Prince Kanu Meme had also claimed that the DSS has denied Nnamdi Kanu his food and medical report after taking his blood for more than 21 times.

The Deer Hunter
Brandon A. DuHamel | Aug 07, 2020 | 0 comments
With a heavyweight cast including Robert De Niro, Christopher Walken, John Cazale, and Meryl Streep, 1979's five-time Academy Award-winning (including for Best Picture and Best Director) The Deer Hunter is an at times elegiac look at an America that was. It also explores the domestic woes of the working class, and later takes a brutal view of the experiences and consequences of war.
Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
Chris Chiarella | Jul 31, 2020 | 1 comments
There is nothing like Star Wars. Across its three trilogies of Roman-numeraled Episodes, creator George Lucas and the inheritors of his galaxy far, far away opened the minds of audiences across the globe as well as across generations of fiercely devoted fans, thanks to their unique spin on epic fantasy. Love it, hate it, or anywhere in the middle: Star Wars has left an undeniable mark on the world of entertainment.
When we think shark, we think scares, but the incredible thrills that helped propel Jaws to the #1 box office crown in 1975 would not have been nearly as effective without a rock-solid story and engaging characters. (That's one explanation for the many awful rip-offs.) Peter Benchley's best-selling first novel gave director/ uncredited screenwriter Steven Spielberg tremendous fodder, with concrete plot points, clear motivations, and rich backstories.

Jumanji: The Next Level is an adventure-comedy with a winning cast featuring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan. The plot is a bit formulaic and doesn't quite take this episode in the Jumanji franchise to the next level as stated, but the action is plentiful and there's enough humorous and family-friendly dialogue to keeps things moving apace. As far as Hollywood blockbusters go, Jumanji: The Next Level is a pretty good offering, with plenty of exciting stunts and special effects and high production values.
Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection: Volume 1
Chris Chiarella | Jun 12, 2020 | 8 comments
It's around this time of year that a few disparate "guy" movies new to the format or re-released usually pop up on Blu-ray or Ultra HD Blu-ray. That's because, as I've said since the early DVD days, discs make fantastic gifts, and not just for Father's Day. But Sony chose a different path for 2020, opening the door of its vast and prestigious Columbia Pictures vault to debut six titles on 4K Blu-ray as the Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection: Volume 1.

One of my favorite movies from the 1980s, Top Gun stars Tom Cruise as Lt. Peter Mitchell, call sign "Maverick," a young hot-shot pilot picked to attend the prestigious "Top Gun" flight school and hone his air-to-air combat skills. Also appearing are Val Kilmer as "Iceman," Anthony Edwards as Maverick's RIO (radar intercept officer) "Goose," and Tim Robbins as "Merlin." Rounding out the cast is Kelly McGillis as Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood, a civilian instructor who is an expert on Russian aviation.
Remaster Class: Star Wars
Chris Chiarella | May 22, 2020 | 2 comments
Enthralling in every way a movie can be, George Lucas' Star Wars (retconned as Episode IV: A New Hopein 1981) is simply one of the greatest achievements to ever hit the screen. A wildly imaginative yet classically inspired adventure, it has been entertaining audiences—and spawning prequels, sequels and spinoffs—since 1977.

Linda Hamilton is back as pistol-packin' mama Sarah Connor and badass as ever, her days dedicated to a familiar mission: ridding the world of killer robots. Dark Fate is James Cameron's first active role in the franchise he created—here as a producer and co-writer—since 1996's T2:3D theme park ride, which surely accounts for much of the movie's old-shoe feel.
The date noted in 1917's title (April 6, to be precise) puts us well into World War I, when young Lance Corporal Blake along with his mate Schofield are dispatched from the Allied trenches with an urgent message. Some 1,600 soldiers, Blake's own brother among them, are heading into certain slaughter if new orders are not delivered to the commanding officer. And so, facing impossible odds, the brave duo embarks on a mission that could change the course of the conflict.
Zombieland: Double Tap
Roger Kanno | Mar 27, 2020 | 0 comments
Zombieland: Double Tap revisits the characters of Tallahassee, Columbus, Wichita, and Little Rock (played by Woody Harrelson, Jessie Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin, respectively) 10 years after the original Zombieland takes place. There is plenty of clever dialogue and zombie kills to keep the film moving at an entertaining pace, even though it lacks some of the freshness of the original. This latest version of the zombie apocalypse also benefits from an excellent supporting cast that includes Rosario Dawson, Thomas Middleditch, Luke Wilson, Avan Jogia, and Zoey Deutch in an especially humorous performance.

The true story of sports car designer Carroll Shelby and driver Ken Miles' partnership with the Ford Motor Company to challenge legendary Ferrari and perhaps win racing's ultimate test of endurance, the 24 hours of Le Mans, is can't-miss Hollywood gold. While not quite a David v Goliath tale—we learn that cash-strapped Ferrari was something of an underdog—the results here are a heartfelt ode to cars, speed, second chances and next chapters, and good old American ingenuity.

To the annals of unique interpretations and iconic performances of The Clown Prince of Crime we must now add Joaquin Phoenix and his exquisitely tragic turn as Joker. The film's Arthur Fleck is a new creation fully outside any established cinematic or literary continuity, a man barely able to function on the mean streets of Gotham City circa 1981. We can feel him barely hanging on as he goes about his daily grind: caring for an ailing mother, toiling as a professional clown, and dreaming of a career as a standup comedian.

The titular characters in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw were introduced in earlier Fast & Furious films, but you don't have to know much about their backstories to enjoy this film, an extremely serviceable action-comedy that leans heavily on the charm and chemistry of its stars, Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw.


Cal King Bed Frame – Many people have misconceptions about the bed size, which is somewhat of a hybrid of other sizes. Although it has its drawbacks, you may find California king is the perfect size for you. California king beds have a bizarre place among the development of bed sizes. While twin, full, queen and king beds evolve naturally from smaller to larger, it can California King Bed is seen as either smaller or larger than a regular king, depending on how you measure. It is narrower than a standard king, but no longer with the same margin.
Cal king bed frame is an excellent choice for extra tall people, because it is the longest mattress is in America. The 72 – inch width is plenty of room for most couples, with a foot more width than a queen bed. It may be easier to fit in a bedroom than the broader king mattress, especially if you have a long, narrow bedroom. Some people believe that there are four types of king mattresses, because there are four different names for them. In reality, there are two types of king mattresses are available in America, with two names each. California King and Western King have the same size. Value and King East King is also the same size.
Cal king bed frame got its name because it is common in California and the West Coast. This means that if you live somewhere else and buy a California king bed, you must make the most of your bedding shopping online. Several online stores specializing in the California king beds, so you will be able to find what you need. However, you must factor in the cost and hassle of shipping and potentially more expensive beds.

Q: Git: How to pull or fetch only specific changes I have two Rails apps.  One of them is a template of sorts.  The other one is cloned from this template.  The clone has many changes I don't want in the template, such as additional views and assets.  However, there are a few changes in the clone that I want to put into the template.
I thought git fetch was the way to do this, but I'm not sure how to selectively pull in only the changes that are relevant.
This is what I got with fetch after switching to a new branch.
unknown:App user$ git fetch the_clone master
remote: Counting objects: 629, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (398/398), done.
remote: Total 537 (delta 361), reused 197 (delta 125)
Receiving objects: 100% (537/537), 3.62 MiB | 838 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (361/361), completed with 36 local objects.
From https://bitbucket.org/user/the_clone
* branch            master     -> FETCH_HEAD

But git status says:
# On branch the_changes
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

It's clear I'm not understanding how fetch works.  I don't want to pull because that will add all the changes.
Any advice on how to selectively add changes from the clone to the template?

A: When the changes you want and the changes you don't want are in separate commits, you can use git cherry-pick to pull individual commits.
When they aren't, you are better off copying individual files.

Zuleika Sarojini Christopher
Medical doctor, member of the NEUM, Chairperson of the Durban APDUSA branch, banned person, political prisoner and exiled person.
Zuleika
Zuleika (Zulei) Sarojini Christopher, the eldest daughter of Advocate Albert Christopher and Ghadija Gool, was born in 1924 in Greenwood Park, Durban, where she also grew up. Advocate Albert Christopher, a member of the moderate grouping of the South African Indian Congress (SAIC), had been involved in politics during Gandhi's stay in South Africa and took a particular interest in the politics of colonial born Indians. Ghadija Gool was imprisoned as a passive resister in 1946 and served the Durban Indian Child Welfare Society for many decades.
Zuleika matriculated at the Durban Indian Girls' High School, Natal (now kwaZulu-Natal). She attended Fort Hare to do a pre-medical course, before transferring to the University of Witwatersrand, where she qualified as a medical doctor at the age of 23. While studying medicine in Johannesburg, Zuleika joined the Progressive Forum, a group of brilliant intellectuals who joined the Non European Unity Movement (NEUM).
In 1951, whilst serving as a locum for her uncle Dr G.H. Gool in Cape Town, she became involved with NEUM members such as I.B. Tabata, Jane Gool and Minnie Gool, and became one of its key members.
It was during this period that she met future husband Enver Hassim. They married in 1952.
When she returned to Durban, Zuleika worked at a provincial hospital and then opened a medical practice in Warwick Avenue, Durban in 1948 and another in Malvern, Durban in the mid1950s. However, both medical practices had to be closed as Zuleika rarely charged her patients for her services. Her husband would foot the bill for medicines she would dispense.
In 1954, Zuleika, Enver Hassim and Karrim Essack set up a study group, and in 1955 formed the Durban Branch of the Society of Young Africa (SOYA), which trained young NEUM cadres in field work.
In 1961, the Durban Branch of the African Peoples Democratic Union of South Africa (APDUSA) was formed. Zuleika was unanimously elected the Chairperson. Many of the members of the Durban APDUSA Branch were recruited by her.
In 1960, Zuleika, Enver Hassim and Dorrie Pillay formed the AntiCentenary Celebration Committee in response to those who wanted to celebrate one hundred years of Indians' arrival in South Africa. The NEUM oriented Committee's position was that there was nothing for Indians to celebrate about the 100 years of their oppression and humiliation and an 'only' celebration flew in the face of the concept of building a single nation. The community of Greenwood Park where the Anti-Centenary Celebrations Committee was launched were exposed to radical ideas through debate and discussion as the issue of the Celebrations encompassed far more than the arrival of the Indians in South Africa. Public meetings were held and people had a thorough exposure to NEUM ideas.
Both Zuleika and Enver Hassim were served with banning orders early in 1964. In terms of their banning orders, they were prohibited from communicating with each other. During the latter part of 1964, both were detained under the 90 day detention law.
In 1966, Zuleika and Enver Hassim were charged with breaching their banning orders which forbade them, inter alia, from attending political meetings. They were found guilty and given suspended sentences.
The then United Party controlled Natal Provincial Administration dismissed Zuleika from her position as a senior medical officer. The dismissal, blatantly illegal, was successfully challenged in the Supreme Court.
The couple had to endure almost daily surveillance from the Security Police, their telephone was tapped, anonymous callers made threats, there was unauthorised opening of their mail and police raids. Eventually Zuleika, her husband, Enver Hassim and two sons, Azad and Shaheen were forced to go into exile to Canada.
Dr Zuleika Sarojini Christopher passed away in Canada in March 1992 from natural causes.

La villa Arnaldi est une villa de Andrea Palladio sise à Meledo, un hameau de la commune de Sarego, dans la province de Vicence et la région Vénétie en Italie.

À première vue, il peut paraître surprenant de ranger aux côtés des grandioses villas palladiennes ce modeste édifice, manifestement inachevé et aujourd'hui en mauvais état. En réalité, la villa Arnaldi est le précieux témoignage d'un processus qui, habituellement, est seulement visible aux résultats finaux : la transformation d'un édifice préexistant en une nouvelle architecture.

Historique

En 1547, Vincenzo Arnaldi, l'un des plus riches et influents aristocrates vicentins, commande à Andrea Palladio la restructuration d'un complexe agricole du , acquis tout récemment par lui. La raison est pour ainsi dire utilitaire : les améliorations du bâtiment doivent servir à en augmenter sa valeur en vue d'un procès avec un des précédents propriétaires.  En 1565, lorsqu'un accord est trouvé, Vincenzo interrompt les travaux et loue la maison sans plus se soucier de leur finalisation.

Dans une série de dessins de Palladio, il est possible de suivre ses tentatives afin d'intervenir sur cette propriété irrégulière du . Il cherche à régulariser les édifices donnant sur la cour et à retrouver une symétrie dans la nouvelle disposition des pièces de la maison, qu'il organise autour d'une loggia à triple arcades, avec de petites ouvertures rectangulaires sur les côtés, toujours existantes mais désormais bouchées; enfin, il encadre les fenêtres de ses habituelles moulures.

President Barack Obama's popularity in the Latino community is bouncing back after his executive order on immigration, with more than half now approving of the job he is doing as president, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Telemundo survey shows.
The survey, released Thursday, showed that 57 percent of Hispanic Americans approve of Obama's job performance, up 10 points from 47 percent in September. The numbers still fall short, however, of the 62 percent approval rating he was given in an April 2013 survey.

These are great to serve up to guests as an entree, party snack or just something to really wow the family or a friend! They are simple to make (I promise) and are so fun to put together! You can mix and match ingredients - adding in more salad or flavours as you see fit!
If you don't like the steamed buns, you can simply just make the Bulgogi Tofu on it's own and serve it with some brown rice and vegetables, or enjoy it with some salad! It is an absolute treat and if you're yet to taste the Bulgogi flavour before I urge you to give this recipe a try!
I hope you have enjoyed this little taste of Korea on Kenkō. I will continue to bring you new recipes from countries around the globe each week and the next country to be featured is Jamaica, so be sure to get stocked up on some pineapple and coconut!
To begin, chop the tofu into 1/2cm thick pieces and place into a dish. Slice the spring onions into 1cm pieces and place on top. Cut up the brown onion into slices and also place on top.
Place all other remaining bulgogi tofu ingredients into a bowl and then pour over the tofu/spring onion/onion. Place a lit onto the dish and place in the fridge over night or at least 4 hours.
To make the bao, begin by placing the yeast into the warm water in a bowl. Add in 1 cup of the flour and mix in. Cover with a tea towel and set aside for an hour.
Dissolve the sugar and oil into 1/2 cup boiling water. Stir and then let cool.
Add in the remaining flour into the boa mix alongside the cooled sugar water. Knead the bread until smooth and place into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp tea town and let rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled.
Divide into 12-15 balls and knead each ball.
Flatten into a oval, place a chopstick in the middle and fold over. to create your "bun". Remove chopstick, and place bun onto a small sheet of baking paper and place into the steamer. Let sit in the steamer to rise further for 10-15 minutes. Brush each bun with sesame oil and then let steam for 10 minutes in a tightly sealed steamer.
To cook the bulgogi tofu simply place into a fry pan and cook for 15 minutes or until nice and caramalized. Remove from heat.
To serve, place some tofu into a fresh boa bun, add in some cucumber, a splash of mirin and sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy immediately.

Robert Woods remains on pace to set USC, Pac-12 receiving records
By Gary Klein
Nov. 21, 2011 12 AM PT
USC receiver Robert Woods, slowed for a few games because of injuries, is still on pace for a record-setting season going into Saturday's finale against UCLA at the Coliseum.
The sophomore has 99 receptions, three shy of the school and Pac-12 Conference record set by Keyshawn Johnson in 1995. Woods has scored 13 touchdowns.
Woods was announced Monday as a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, presented annually to college football's top receiver.
The other finalists: Oklahoma State junior Justin Blackmon (103 catches and 15 touchdowns) and Oklahoma senior Ryan Broyles (83 and 10).
"If he doesn't get hurt and stays healthy," Coach Lane Kiffin said of Woods, "then he probably wins this thing easy."
Woods caught a season-low two passes two weeks ago against Washington and then sat out several practices last week, Kiffin claiming Woods might not be able to play against Oregon.
However, on USC's first offensive play quarterback Matt Barkley tossed the ball to Woods. He caught seven passes, two for touchdowns, in the Trojans' 38-35 upset victory.
USC on Monday released a promotional video for Barkley, hyping the junior for the Heisman Trophy.
Former Trojans quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart won the Heisman in 2002 and 2004.
Each was a finalist for the Davey O'Brien Award, presented annually to the top quarterback, though neither won it the year he won the Heisman.
Barkley was not among the O'Brien Award finalists announced Monday. They were Baylor junior Robert Griffin III, Houston senior Case Keenum and Stanford junior Andrew Luck.
Offensive tackle Matt Kalil, projected as a top NFL draft pick, is not among the finalists for the Outland Trophy, presented to the top interior lineman. Stanford's David DeCastro, Alabama's Barrett Jones and Penn State's Devon Still are the finalists.
In the aftermath of violent pregame incidents outside the Rose Bowl last year, USC Athletic Director Pat Haden and UCLA Athletic Director Dan Guerrero released a joint statement announcing increased "emphasis and visibility of game day security, particularly given the 7 p.m. kickoff time" for Saturday's game.
"Security staff will be bolstered by over 25% for this game," the statement continued, "and there is an integrated effort between both universities and a host of local law enforcement organizations to make the entire game experience around the Coliseum safe and secure."
Managing the rivalry
Rivalry week kicks off Tuesday night when student managers from USC and UCLA square off in their annual flag football game.
The series was suspended for one year in 2007 after several players required hospital emergency-room treatment in 2006 because of injuries. USC has won the last three seven-on-seven games.
"We're definitely expecting to go for the four-peat," said Brian Wagner, USC's head student manager, who passed for three touchdowns in a 21-7 victory last season.
Wagner, though, anticipates a hard-fought effort from the Bruins.
"I believe we're favored by 12 points," he quipped.
Freshman receiver Marqise Lee and freshman linebacker Hayes Pullard were selected Pac-12 offensive and defensive players of the week. … Donations for a "Kiff's Kids" toy drive can be made at the Coliseum on Saturday. Toys or unwrapped gifts can be dropped off at collection boxes set up around the stadium. Information: (909) 519-1148.

I just returned from LA. My friend and I attended a make up class for hairdressers at Fred Segal. I loved learning a bit more about how to apply make up. What seems so easy, is quite difficult and takes lots of practice. Once again, I was humbled, as the teacher corrected me on the way I was holding the brush, smudging away the make up I just applied, or correcting color choice. It's not as if I don't know how to appy make up, but it felt as if I knew nothing. My fingers fumbled as I brushed under the eyes, as if I had n ever held a brush before. I either brushed on too much contour on the cheeks, or not enough. I glued eyelashes to her forehead, or they fell off onto the lap of my model, or I yanked them off before opening the tweezers. There is really an art and finesse to it all, isn't there?
Seeing how make up can enhance a person's beauty, and not detract, is absolutely amazing. And, it's not as if we have to wear it everyday. But to know how and why, so that you can do it if you want. Education is freedom.
This one model came in, she was 56. She was a classic beauty, but surrounded herself with people who told her she needed to do something to change her looks, even plastic surgery. She was sabotaging herself with her make up...black liner under her eyes, no mascara, dark brown shadow on her lids, blush bright circles mid cheek area. Terrible!
I'm telling you, she was a changed woman. Natural make up made her look not only younger, but gorgeous. The green of her eyes is what you wanted to gaze right into. Her spirit became light, she twinkled as she left the class, wanting to call her boyfriend, and kids.
Layer upon layer, of smoothing, shaping, emphasizing, brightening. "Up and out." Our make up instructor, Rebecca DeHerrera, would say, over and over, and over. Rebecca was fabulous. She is not only a talented working artist, but she knows her stuff, enjoys her work, and is a great teacher.
The two-day class was set up pretty well. We had plenty of models ranging in age, ethnicity, and looks. It could have easily been a three day class. First day, theory and kit introduction. Next two days, models. I think they were free-forming it a bit. My friends kit, which cost $1600. didn't come with what a working make up artist uses. The brushes were not good quality.
The lighting needs an overhaul. It was terrible! Not enough of it, and shadows everywhere. The Fred Segal complex itself is very unattractive, but inside was quite something with high-end retailers, a great luncheon counter, and wonderful art in the salon.
Overall though, I learned plenty! Now, I feel more confident doing make up in the salon. Next, I will pursue make up for editorial. Next, I will pursue make up for editorial. And meanwhile, I can't wait to help others bring out their essence even more, and help them shine.

Hello! New oils galore! (and other things) - BLOG/READ ME!
To make way for these oils we have decided to discontinue a few slow sellers, sorry if your favorite is on the discontinued list, unfortunately when we discontinue them we do stop selling them altogether.
Other news .. We've updated our Allergens made easy page. I hope it makes sense!
And finally Easter ... I don't know about you but we have holidays all over the place with school. The kids are off on the bank holiday weekend, then straight back to school on the Tuesday for a couple of weeks THEN off for 2 weeks ... No Easter in these Easter Hols! So the result of this is we won't be closing over Easter this year. Of course we won't be able to post out goods on the 25th (Good Fri) and the 28th (Easter Monday) or the weekend inbetween, but apart from that it will all stay as 'business as usual'!
That's it for now, hope you're loving the new oils!


The next person I got to speak with at the CoLaborator opening was Dushyant Pathak, Associate Vice Chancellor of Technology Management Corporate Relations (TMCR) and Executive Director of Venture Catalyst at UC Davis. Through these roles, he is actively connecting research with opportunities across the various schools and departments of the university.
Tell me a little more about your role at UC Davis and within the TMCR unit and Venture Catalyst program.
Dushyant: In my role as Associate Vice Chancellor of Research at UC Davis, I have responsibility for three units that reach outside of the university and impacts our programs. The first, Innovation Access, is responsible for intellectual property management, patents and licensing. Our Office of Corporate Relations engages with established companies, like Bayer, to help build research-engaged collaborations and manages these alliances. Finally, Venture Catalyst, for which I am also the Executive Director, focuses on the resources and support needed for the creation of successful university research enabled startups. These startups, in turn, represent potential for students, faculty, and alumni with respect to technology commercialization, employment opportunities and internships.
It's clear that the CoLaborator is going to offer new innovation and research opportunities to UC Davis, but why are you specifically excited to partner with Bayer through this space?
Dushyant: Bayer is the single company that I can think of that perfectly mirrors UC Davis in terms of its broad strength and capabilities and areas of focus. Crop Sciences, Animal Health, and Human Health are important elements of Bayer and its strategic focus, mirroring our areas of strength with the premier College of Agricultural Sciences, the world's leading School of Veterinary Medicine, and the rapidly growing School of Medicine. Between UC Davis and Bayer, we provide perfect collaborative opportunities to synergize our research and technology commercialization efforts.
Focusing on the agriculture aspect and upcoming advances in the field, what would you tell farmers to get them excited about the future of ag?
Dushyant: Our faculty is doing cutting-edge work in a number of areas including breeding new varieties that are, for example, resistant to climate change, sparing on the requirement for pesticides and fertilizers, enriched in nutrients and provide increased yields or express important traits. We look at ways in which you can have practical benefits for farmers who work with the outputs of our research in useful ways.
We support startups that are doing similar things coming out of our university. Tule Technologies developed a sensor that gives an accurate measure of the moisture content across huge acreages. So far, they've deployed this in over 1K farms across California allowing growers to know the stress levels of their crops and control the amount of irrigation and water use. A company called XTB Laboratories is developing a diagnostic for citrus greening for early detection of disease.
Those are the types of practical innovations that are really tangible that affect growers.
Stay tuned for the next blog in this innovation series, where we'll hear from Cynthia Carrillo of The Greater Sacramento Economic Council.

Biografia
Abbandona giovanissimo la propria città natale, Siena, che sente troppo provinciale. Si arruola nel corpo degli Alpini e partecipa alla prima guerra mondiale. Finita la guerra si stabilisce a Milano dove trova lavoro presso la redazione del Corriere della Sera in qualità di correttore di bozze.

La prima occasione di avvicinarsi all'arte si presenta al Cairola nel 1933 quando Agostino Mario Comanducci, antiquario di Borgo San Sepolcro, gli propone di svolgere una ricerca in vista della pubblicazione de I pittori italiani dell'Ottocento. Dizionario critico e documentario.

A Genova
Fino ai primi anni quaranta Cairola vive a Genova, dove lavora come curatore presso il Cenacolo della Galleria San Giorgio e dove nel 1935 assume la direzione della Galleria Genova di Gino Tonini, per poi rilevarne la gestione l'anno successivo. All'interno della galleria cerca di favorire un clima salottiero, attirare visitatori e suscitare vivaci dibattiti intorno agli artisti ospitati.

Tra il 1934 e il 1940 vi espongono gran parte dei protagonisti del rinnovamento artistico del novecento: Arturo Molinari, Prampolini, Stéphanie Guerzoni, Ida Donati, Carrà, Morandi, Martini, Marussig, Marini, Fontana, Campigli, de Chirico, Severini, Bernasconi, Reggiani, Gigiotti Zanini, Melotti, Paresce, Gino Ghiringhelli, Funi, Romanelli, Borra, Daphne Maugham Casorati, Licini, Fiorenzo Tomea, Umberto Mastroianni, Toti Scialoja, Domenico Cantatore, Guglielmo Pasqualino Noto, Aurelio de Felice e molti altri.
Nel 1940 allestisce una personale di Ottone Rosai e l'anno successivo di Filippo de Pisis.

Nel frattempo stringe rapporti d'affari con galleristi milanesi, in particolare con la Galleria il Milione, con cui tratta artisti noti ma anche giovani emergenti, o sconosciuti di provincia; fra loro Guttuso, Migneco, Franchina, Manzù, Birolli, Sassu, Soldati, Menzio e Fontana.

Inizia a collaborare con Alberto della Ragione, anche lui residente a Genova, mecenate e collezionista d'arte già in possesso di un cospicuo numero di opere rappresentative della nuova pittura italiana.

A Milano
Nel 1940 a Milano gestisce una galleria in via del Corso che solo due anni dopo viene distrutta da un bombardamento aereo. Sposta definitivamente la propria residenza nel capoluogo lombardo quando Alberto della Ragione, all'inizio del 1942 gli offre la direzione della Galleria della Spiga e di Corrente, (ex Bottega di Corrente), che aveva appena rilevato. Le prime mostre milanesi organizzate da Cairola sono dedicate a Birolli e ai disegni inediti di Scipione.
Ma la collaborazione con della Ragione non dura a lungo, fra loro emergono contrasti e divergenze; nel luglio dello stesso anno Cairola si licenzia e alla direzione della galleria gli succede Raffaele De Grada.

Lo scoppio della seconda guerra rallenta l'attività espositiva, fino ad interromperla completamente quando un'irruzione della polizia nell'aprile del 1943, durante una mostra dedicata a Vedova, provoca la chiusura della Galleria della Spiga.
Sarà riaperta nel 1945/46 da Cairola a Palazzo Garzanti, al numero 30 della stessa via della Spiga.

Nel periodo post bellico di maggior crisi, per venire incontro agli artisti, soprattutto scultori, promuove il "Premio di Scultura della Spiga" (25 maggio-13 giugno 1946), insieme allo scultore Giacomo Manzù e ai pittori Aligi Sassu e Carlo Zocchi. Alla mostra prendono parte una cinquantina di scultori, alcuni già affermati, altri pressoché inediti.

Nell'ottobre del 1946 partecipa alla costituzione del gruppo Nuova Secessione Artistica Italiana. Sono un gruppo di artisti la cui attività si sviluppa intorno a tre sedi: una base veneziana, gestita da Giuseppe Marchiori, una milanese, avente come esponenti Birolli e Morlotti (che vivevano a Parigi), coordinata da Cairola e dallo stesso Marchiori; una romana, organizzata attorno alla figura di Guttuso, che per dare un carattere di specificità generazionale al movimento, spingerà per il cambio del nome in Fronte nuovo delle arti. Il gruppo pubblica un proprio manifesto, i firmatari sono: Emilio Vedova, Renato Birolli, Ennio Morlotti, Armando Pizzinato, Giuseppe Santomaso, Alberto Viani, Bruno Cassinari, Renato Guttuso, Leoncillo, Carlo Levi. Successivamente aderiranno al gruppo anche: Mafai, Santo Marino, Consagra, Corpora, Fazzini, Giovanni Paganin, Afro e Mirko Basaldella, Treccani, Moreni.
Nel 1947 alla Galleria della Spiga viene allestita la prima mostra del Fronte Nuovo delle Arti (12 giugno - 12 luglio) sostenuta criticamente da Giuseppe Marchiori, ma non ottiene il successo sperato, vengono venduti solo alcuni quadri di Guttuso.
Dopo il fallimento della mostra Cairola cambierà il nome della galleria in Galleria d'arte Cairola.

Divulgatore e talent scout
Il desiderio di favorire l'affermazione di giovani artisti e la convinzione della necessità di portare l'arte verso tutte le classi sociali, induce Cairola ad uscire dalla propria galleria e a decentrare parte dell'attività: organizza eventi espositivi in centri periferici e di villeggiatura; sostiene e istituisce Premi in piccoli paesi e ne presiede la giuria, sempre con lo scopo di accorciare la distanza fra l'arte e i suoi destinatari.

Premi
 1947, il Premio nazionale di pittura Auronzo.
 1948, il Premio Suzzara, organizzato in collaborazione con Dino Villani e Cesare Zavattini per consentire al comune di costituire un primo nucleo di opere per una futura pinacoteca, grazie alla formula del premio-acquisto. Gli artisti vincitori vengono premiati con prodotti locali: insaccati, vino, formaggi, o con animali come puledri, vitelli, suini, ecc. Nel 1953 Cairola ospiterà alla Spiga l'edizione milanese del Suzzara; qui le opere verranno assegnate a chi offrirà un premio-acquisto, costituito da elettrodomestici, biciclette e motocicli, abiti e persino una Fiat 500 offerta dalla Sipra.
 1950, a Bolzano Cairola mostra una certa attenzione, allora inconsueta, per la pittura femminile attraverso il Premio Bolzano per le pittrici che nel 1954 si trasforma in IV Premio internazionale per le pittrici.
 1957, a Forlì per l'apertura della Casa-Albergo per artisti voluta da Aldo Garzanti, organizza il Premio Forlì per la pittura, la scultura e il disegno.
 1961, a Milano il Premio Koh-I-Noor 1961 per il disegno voluto dalla società Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth; la Galleria d'Arte Cairola per l'occasione collabora con la Galleria Mediterranea. Vi partecipano 67 artisti da tutta Italia tra cui Giovanni Brancaccio, Alberto Chiancone, Carlo Striccoli.

Mostre
 1949, a Milano nella propria galleria, durante il concorso di Miss Italia organizza la mostra La Bella Italiana nella Pittura Contemporanea, esperienza che ripeterà nell'edizione del 1953 spostando l'esposizione direttamente ad Alassio.
 1950-51, in occasione del Giro d'Italia, allestisce una mostra itinerante dal titolo 196 pittori al Giro d'Italia della pittura contemporanea, che toccherà numerose tappe, spesso piccoli centri, che vedono per la prima volta opere di artisti dei quali forse non hanno mai sentito parlare.
 1951, ad Acitrezza realizza in funzione turistico-artistica il Premio Acitrezza, un premio tematico destinato a opere che rappresentano paesaggi ed immagini suggestive della città stessa; in seguito le opere vincitrici vengono esposte nelle più grandi città italiane.
 1952, nei padiglioni della fiera di Messina è la volta della Prima mostra della ceramica italiana; qui Cairola allestisce una sala completamente dedicata alle ceramiche di Picasso; inoltre incoraggia e favorisce l'iniziativa di Tullio Mazzotti che fa eseguire pezzi unici in ceramica da pittori e scultori come Manzù, Fontana, Sassu, Fabbri, Parini, per promuovere la ceramica di Albissola.
 1957, a Messina mostra Cento opere di sessantasette "firme" a Messina
 1958, a Trapani mostra Trenta artisti alla Galleria d'arte della città di Trapani
 1958, a Cantù, durante lo svolgimento del Premio città di Cantù. Pittura e scultura nell'arredamento, espone le opere nei Saloni del Mobile, locali allestiti e arredati similmente alle abitazioni dei potenziali acquirenti.

Stefano Cairola è anche un talent scout: scopre alcuni artisti come il pittore-contadino Bruno Rovesti e lo sculture-boscaiolo Alberto Sani, per entrambi organizza mostre e stampa cataloghi.
Negli ultimi anni promuove pittori italiani anche all'estero, inserendo anche i naïf, e li porta in tournée per l'Europa.

Muore a Milano il 24 marzo 1972.

I wonder why love is so often equated with joy when it is everything else as well. Devastation, balm, obsession, granting and receiving excessive value, and losing it again.

In TELL ME WHY, readers enter the world of pianist Carolee Burns. At its peak, Carolee's celebrated career took her all over the world. Then, eighteen months ago, she dropped out of sight, emerging only occasionally to perform at Bistro Brandy, a tiny club in suburban Seattle. It is here that Max Wolfe watches in the darkness, a silent observer nursing a drink as Carolee's poignant music washes over him. Drawn to her sadness, compelled to know the reason for her sudden withdrawal, Max searches for answers to his questions.
Carolee won't talk about the ruin of her life — the sudden crashing end to her once-happy marriage, the agonizing estrangement from her daughter, and her ex-husband's vindictive behavior. It's enough that by reinventing her life, she has found some measure of peace.
However, that peace is about to be shattered. No sooner does Max dare to reach out to the woman he has watched from the shadows, than a tragedy reveals secrets that can't be ignored — and that will change their lives forever.

Q: A hint for end of ASCII data in a binary file I'm developing a software that stores its data in a binary file format. However, as a courtesy to innocent shell users that might cat to inspect the contents of such a file, I'm thinking of having an ASCII-compatible "magic string" in the start of the file that tells the name and the version of the binary format.
I'm thinking of having at least ten rows (\n) in the message so that head by default settings doesn't hit the binary part.
Now, I wonder if there is any control character or escape code that would hint to the shell that the following content isn't interpretable as printable text, and should be just ignored? I tried 0x00 (the null byte) and 0x04 (ctrl-D) but they seem to be just ignored when catting the file.

A: Cat regards a file as text. There is no way you can trigger an end-of-file, since EOF is not actually any character.
The other way around works of course; specifying a format that only start reading binary format from a certain character on.


Is President-Elect Trump A Climate Disaster?
Anyone concerned with U.S. politics and climate change may be nervous after Tuesday's national election. He said he would "cancel" the Paris Agreement, although what this means is unclear. He has been unclear or fickle on many policy positions.
During his campaign, Donald Trump's communications included crass climate denialism, bigot-baiting, and belligerence or flippant attitude toward diplomacy. And of course there is the rampant sexism. These things jeopardize much more than the U.S. reputation.
Pundits often point out that Trump was reaping the ignorance, insularity and anxiety sown by Republican politicians before him. He was just trying to turn out the vote. And climate denialism has been a key plank in this Republican party platform. That meant Trump had to promise to take a disastrous about-face on global climate politics. Trump promising to pull out of Paris is certainly a bad political signal from the United States, particularly now coming from a President-elect and Republican party leader.
On the other hand, there will be fewer Republicans in Congress in part because their message has not been working with everyone. Many in his party believe Donald Trump took the strategy too far. Running away from Trump and what he represented was a common Republican campaign theme by the end of the election. Many Republican Senators and Representatives probably avoided losing elections by back-pedalling from the ultraconservative campaign platform they previously created or endorsed. Optimistically, the internecine Party strife exemplified by the presidential campaign may be part of the Republican Party progress toward climate realism.
It is difficult to know peak climate denialism. President George W. Bush "unsigning" the Kyoto Protocol has to be on the timeline. More than just a step backwards, reneging on Kyoto may have killed the last opportunity to include the United States in a climate regime with a compliance mechanism. But President Bush himself is no longer an outspoken climate denier, and some - incredibly - even credit him for setting the stage for the Paris Agreement.
President-elect Trump may not yet understand that climate wins votes, and that climate can unify not just his country but all countries. But as a populist, he should at some point realize that pandering to nationless fossil fuel companies like Exxon Mobil will cease being helpful to his popularity. Modernizing the U.S. economy so that it runs on renewable energy would be a very good thing for jobs and public health.
Despite his anti-climate rhetoric, we don't really know how Trump will handle with the Paris Climate Agreement. Paris did not legally oblige countries to achieve their climate pollution goals, but it did require they report on results and announce subsequent commitments. When it comes to the climate pollution goals the U.S. pledged for 2020 and 2025, what the U.S. has put on the table is not enough, given its responsibility for the problem and capacity to do more. However, subsequent nationally determined contributions (NDCs) with end dates further into the future is not going to help get the fast, steep cuts in climate pollution that scientists say we need.
The world needs stronger, collective climate action that includes commitments in other international negotiations and domestically. In Paris, countries reaffirmed how important it is to stop global warming from going above 1.5 degrees Celsius (or even 2 degrees). That means we must roll back the expanding supply of globally traded coal, oil, and gas. The U.S. climate movement is rallying around "keep it in the ground," as U.S. fossil fuels producers look to drive up their exports.
With or without a President Trump the global "keep it in the ground" movement will grow. But if Trump wants to be the leader of his party on climate, he can stop allowing new sales of taxpayer-owned fossil fuels, much of which would be destined to be exported to other countries, undermining their efforts to invest in cleaner, smarter power grids. He can push for strong climate commitments into any and all other international negotiations, whether it's negotiations on trade, human rights, aviation, shipping, etc. He should give his delegates marching orders to stop fossil fuel subsidies from international finance institutions and export credit agencies.
One of the best things a U.S. President has is the reputation of being a leader of a transparent democracy, where the will of the people is reflected in policy. President-elect Trump rode a wave of resentment from voters who see this reputation being degraded. The 2016 campaign was steeped in conversations about transparency and corruption, prompted by Wikileaks, revelations about Exxon's climate fraud, and record-breaking corporate campaign finance. So there is perhaps some hope that President-elect Trump can exceed all expectations on climate and be a leader for the people when it comes to global climate change.

117th Congress may offer some surprises due to the pandemic
Some college bowl games are canceled. The NFL is struggling to finish its regular season without canceling a game. People celebrated holiday parties on Zoom.
Yet the 117thCongress begins Sunday at noon, Eastern Time. The Constitution dictates that. And everyone has to be there in person.
The House and Senate remained in session finishing up the 116th Congress through most of the holidays. Lawmakers flirted with a government shutdown. Finally finished a COVID relief package. The House overrode President Trump's veto of the annual defense bill and, per the President's request, passed a $2,000 direct stimulus bill, just after Christmas.
There was a time earlier this month when House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) aimed to wrap everything up by December 11 so members could go home and quarantine, spend time with their families, quarantine again and return to Washington on January 3 to comply with D.C.'s health guidelines.
But any pantomime of remotely trying to comply with local health provisos went out the window with the Congressional schedule this month. And so everyone in the House of Representatives has been back and forth between their districts multiple times in the past few weeks.
The Office of the Capitol Attending Physician sent a memo just days ago that Congressional "Spouses or Children accompanying the Member may be required to show a copy of their negative pre-travel COVID test at businesses extending lodging or other services" if they were coming to DC for opening day.
DEMOCRATS SEIZE ON MCCONNELL'S STIMULUS BLOCK IN GEORGIA RUNOFF
Opening day is usually a wildly festive affair with receptions in the House Office Buildings and thousands of family and friends descending on the Capitol. The House is keeping this year's event as low-key as possible. Freshmen members are issued only one ticket for a guest to watch the ceremonies from the gallery. The House won't issue any guest tickets to returning members.
A memo from House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving and Attending Physician Dr. Brian Monahan says that guests accompanying freshmen must quarantine before traveling to D.C. and have a COVID test three to five days in advance. Note that the memo just went out this week. Lawmakers were warned that access to the House floor is "limited to those Members who are scheduled to speak during debate."
Starting the new Congress is inherently messy in a pandemic. The House of Representatives implemented "remote voting" in the spring. That's where the House permitted members who were at high risk, quarantining, tested positive or caring for someone who is ill could "phone in" their vote. The House will eventually vote on a new "rules package" to begin the new Congress which will include a remote voting option. But in the House, you can't carry over rules from the 116th Congress to the 117th Congress.
That's why everyone has to show up at noon on January 3.
This poses an interesting, ethical question:
Is it appropriate for members who have tested positive, have been in quarantine or been exposed, be present on January 3?
Here's what to expect in the House on January 3:
Nothing has constituted the House at that point. There is no Speaker. Clerk of the House Cheryl Johnson presides. The first order of business is a quorum call to get everyone there – pandemic style.
Under normal circumstances, all 435 House members-elect would crowd into the chamber to vote electronically and record their presence. But during coronavirus, the House will summon members to the chambers in seven groups of about 72 persons. The first tranche starts with Rep. Alma Adams (D-NC) and runs through Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX). The seventh and final group stretches from Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) through Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY).
Members are instructed to report to the chamber, record their presence and depart.
The House should start at 433 members and two vacancies: 222 Democrats and 211 Republicans. The vacancies are from New York's 22nd District and Louisiana's 5th District. There is still no race call in the contest between current Rep. Anthony Brindisi (D-NY) and former Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY). In Louisiana, Rep.-elect Luke Letlow (R-LA) died from complications related to coronavirus.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) indicated she will seat Rep.-elect Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) after her six-vote victory over Democrat Rita Hart. But Hart has asked the House Administration to probe the outcome in that contest.
This is where it could get interesting.
Reps. Gwen Moore (D-WI) and Rick Larsen (D-WA) recently tested positive for coronavirus. It's unclear if they will be healthy enough to appear on opening day. And, it's unknown if other lawmakers or those elected to the 117th Congress will be present or out.
You take the field on January 3 with the players you have available. That's why, in the age of a pandemic, it's possible – possible – that if Democrats don't have the right numbers, Republicans could – could – actually have the majority.
We always say it's about the math. It's about the math. It's about the math. Well, the math really matters on January 3. Whichever side has the most members present on January 3 is in the majority.
Is there a way around this? Unclear. It could be argued that Democrats could drag out the initial quorum call starting the new Congress for as long as necessary (days?) until they have enough people there. But that is just speculation.
The only thing which really matters as to which side has more votes is what comes next: election of the Speaker. Nothing can happen in the House until it elects a Speaker.
And anything can happen during a pandemic. Even Pelosi has said that her foe in the Speaker's race is COVID.
The successful Speaker candidate secures an outright majority of the entire House. Not the most votes. So, if the House starts at 433 members and everyone is there, Pelosi needs 217 members vote for her. So if Democrats are at 222 and everyone shows up, the Speaker can only lose five votes. Pelosi lost 15 votes in the Speaker's contest in January, 2019.
Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) voted present in 2019. But Cooper now says he will vote for Pelosi. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) voted "present" in 2019. Slotkin says she can't support Pelosi. Reps. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Jared Golden (D-ME) voted for Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL) two years ago.
That's why some have wondered if it would be possible for the House to elect Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) or someone else as Speaker?It is unlikely, but it will come down to the math.
What if no candidate secures 217 votes? The House keeps voting until it picks a Speaker. A vote for Speaker hasn't gone to a second ballot since 1923. House Speaker Frederick Gillett (R-MA) finally prevailed on the fourth ballot.
The House burned two months and 133 ballots in 1856 before finally deciding Nathaniel Banks of Massachusetts was fit to be Speaker.
We just know it will take a long time to wrap all of this up. But we are advised that Sunday could be a very long day. And a confusing day, potentially with pandemic-induced surprises.

The negative sentiment prevails in the market. However, sellers lost steam when they reached the 1.1700 handle. The price bounced off the level and recovered up to 1.1750 where the recovery move stalled and the price pulled back. The technical readings suggest the further softening. The price continues developing well below the moving averages. MACD is in the negative ground and is moving downwards. RSI is neutral. The resistance resides at 1.1700, the support comes in at 1.1650.
If the euro declines further, the tone would favor further losses towards 1.1650, en route to 1.1600.
The downward structure remained intact on Friday. The pound continues fluctuating in the downward range posting fresh lows. The sterling lost downward strength at the 1.3300 level and reversed its direction. The major bounced to 1.3400 where the buying interest weakened. Sellers regained control after that and sent prices downwards. The technical indicators hold within bearish territory. MACD is heading south right now. RSI is hovering above the oversold area. The resistance lies at 1.3400, the support comes in at 1.3300.
Prices may fall back below the 1.3200 mark if the US dollar returns to a growth.
The US dollar had another negative day on Thursday. The risk aversion drove the US dollar to the 109.00 level, however, the EMA200 defended this mark and rejected the major to 109.70 where the EMA100 limited pair's recovery. MACD indicator is in negative territory. RSI is neutral while the moving averages mostly continued their vertical rise, however, the 50 and 100 EMAs started to change their direction. The resistance resides at 109.50, the support comes in at 109.00.
If sellers regain the 109.00 level, they will get a good chance to extend their gains down to 108.00. If bears fail to move lower, the US dollar may recover to 110.00.
The negative bias prevailed on Friday. Sellers led the GBP/JPY pair to the 146.00 level in the middle of the week. They have been trying to overcome this handle since Wednesday, bud have not succeeded so far. A bout of fresh selling pressure emerged on Friday. Bears attacked the level with a vigor force again and it seems that they will regain this obstacle this time. The technical indicators stand in negative territory. The moving averages are pointing downwards. MACD is declining in the red. RSI is oversold. The resistance lies at 146.00, the support is at 145.00.
The pound is about to suffer more losses. We expect sellers to move the spot towards 145.00 in the coming days.
The single currency is still in the red amid a bid tone around the yen. Sellers tried to overcome the 128.00 level in the morning and almost broke the handle when the spot unexpectedly found fresh bids at 127.80 and spiked to the 128.50 resistance. The EMA50 saved sellers again. The line stopped buyers and rejected the majors downwards. The price quickly pressured the 128.00 level again and is about to retake it now. The resistance lies at 128.00, the support is at 127.50.
If the sell-off extends as we expect then the pair should probe 127.50 or below in the coming sessions.
The US dollar continued its recovery after the recent sell-off. Sellers lowered the US currency to the 1.2800 support area last week. They were trying to regain this area in the beginning of this week, but failed. Buyers started a recovery on Tuesday and managed to revert a majority of their losses. In the meantime, the spot is struggling with the 1.2900 hurdle. Buyers pressured the level in the late European session and almost broke it by now. The resistance stands at 1.3000, the support is at 1.2900.
We believe that a convincing break through the 1.2900 hurdle is likely to accelerate the up-move back towards 1.3100.
Buyers continued struggling with 2730 which appeared to be well defended by sellers. Bulls reached the level last week, but did not regain it despite the numerous attempts. They attacked the level this morning, however, offers at the handle rejected the benchmark downwards. The resistance lies at 2730, the support exists at 2700.
The divergence between the chart and MACD points to a possible sell-off. If buyers do not regain the 2730 hurdle in the short-term, sellers could seize control and send the index towards 2700 where it could find a decent support from the 100 and 200EMAs.
DAX had a positive start to the day. The price gapped from 12850 to the 12900 level. The upward impulse continued afterwards and the benchmark was able to test the 13000 region when suddenly buyers lost momentum and DAX dropped towards 12900. The resistance lies at 13000, the support exists at 12900.
If the selling pressure persists, the DAX index may return below 12900 and move towards 12800 afterwards. The EMA100 is located in this region and may save buyers and reject the price upwards.

2014 Land Rover LR2, Range Rover Evoque Priced
LR2, Evoque get price changes.
Jake Holmeswriter
The 2014 Land Rover LR2 and the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque both receive a handful of changes for the new model year, and those tweaks result in revised sticker prices for both SUVs.
The 2014 Land Rover LR2 switches to a more sensitive touchscreen interface, and the infotainment system adds improved navigation system scrolling, a QWERTY-layout keyboard for entering addresses, and updates to the satellite radio interface. Last year, the Land Rover LR2 dropped its inline-six engine in favor of a 2.0-liter turbo-four that continues for 2014. Standard equipment includes power front seats, a panoramic sunroof, an 11-speaker 380-watt sound system, and leather seats.
Pricing for the 2014 Land Rover LR2 starts at $37,495 (including an $895 destination charge), a modest increase of $200 compared to last year's pricing. Pricing for the LR2 HSE model also rises $200 to $39,795, and the 2014 Land Rover LR2 HSE LUX also scores a $200 price bump to $42,395.
The 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has a more extensive list of upgrades. The SUV ditches its previous six-speed automatic in favor of a nine-speed transmission, which Land Rover says will improve acceleration and fuel efficiency. The Range Rover Evoque also receives an Active Driveline four-wheel-drive system, which can disconnect the rear axle to improve fuel economy at speeds above 22 mph. The system also has Active Torque Biasing, which uses the rear differential to shuffle torque between the rear wheels, as well as a Torque Vectoring feature that quells understeer by moving engine power between all four wheels.
Other upgrades include the addition of adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning, and a feature that can automatically exit a parallel-parking space. There are new wheel designs and some different color and trim choices.
Pricing for the standard five-door 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Pure starts at $41,995 (including an $895 destination charge), which is actually a decrease of $45 compared to last year's price. The Pure Plus trim level is $44,995, the Pure Premium costs $49,595, the Range Rover Evoque Prestige is $56,295, and the top-spec Dynamic model is $57,195.
The three-door 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque Coupe starts at $45,040 in its base Pure Plus trim level, which is identical to last year's price. Stepping up to the Pure Premium model requires $50,595 and the top-spec Range Rover Evoque Coupe Dynamic is $58,195.

Haley Evans
By: Sam Morrison
ER: What is the thing that keeps you so drawn towards music?:
Haley: So, so many things. The subjective nature of music, the way it's truly the only universal language we have; the list goes on and on. I love the way evergreen songs still pop, right next to the new genres – music (and what is working on a commercial scale) ebbs and flows so much, and I feel really lucky have the opportunity to have a small part in the creation of the songs.
ER: What are you working on now?:
Haley: Our new pub client, a songwriter named Ella Boh who I'm super excited about helping to develop. In addition, I work across the Mega House management roster – but work most closely with Ali Tamposi, Casey Smith, and Gian Stone.
ER: What project are you most proud of working on / was most memorable?
Haley: We recently signed a new, young writer named Ella Boh in partnership with the Monsters & Strangerz (for pub). Super stoked to have brought her in and received the support from the crew to sign her as our first publishing client with the Monsters (we've primarily been a writer/producer management company for ten years).
Another huge moment happened last week – As Grammy noms were announced, we learned the exciting news that 8 out of our 15 Mega clients received nominations. Super proud to work with these incredible writers and producers, and get to witness & take part in their growth.
Lastly, (most memorably) having the chance to start my career at Interscope and witnessing Juice and Billie break was quite possibly the coolest experience and I was really lucky to learn so much just from watching.
ER: What are your goals for the future?
Haley: Excited to continue building out both publishing and management rosters. I want to help the best writers and producers in the world reach their full potentials 🙂
ER: What is your favorite part about music/working in the music industry?:
Haley: First and foremost; the incredible community we've built. The fact that we're able to work with our friends is something super special. Coming up with people you love, and seeing them win is truly the best feeling.
Having the chance to be a small part of a huge industry that affects almost every person on this earth is incredibly rare and super rewarding.
ER: What is the lasting impression that you want to leave?:
Haley: I want to be known as an advocate for writers and producers, and a champion for diversity in music and specifically, publishing. A huge goal is to find a way to help songwriters get paid what they deserve. Ideally, I hope that my work ethic, loyalty, and humility will always shine through.

#151 Leveraging data for better citizen outcomes with Simon Herbert, Chief Data Officer at NSW Customer Service Department
In this week's episode, Felipe will be speaking with Simon Herbert, NSW Customer Service Department's Chief Data Officer.
Simon has worked for the NSW Data Analytics Centre for over three years. He has been instrumental in the transformation of the DAC to an agile culture.
He and his team have built an advanced analytics service in the commercial cloud which delivers the enhanced capability and scalability to support the Customer Service department and NSW Government as a whole.
Simon has over 20 years of experience in data, technology and transformation in many different countries including the UK, US, Singapore and Hong Kong. He has worked for companies such as Macquarie, Westpac, HSBC, IBM and Motorola.
He was recognised as one of the top 20 CIOs in Australia as part of the 2019 and 2020 CIO50 awards.
It's very important that you have data governance outside of data science or data services, there is a Chinese wall to make sure that a steward can actually go up and say, no, you can't do that. The privacy Impact Assessments did not occur, which we cannot release. That's really important to have those kinds of controls in place.
They have such a deep understanding of our behaviour and the way that they do that they're testing first their control groups and their rollout. But it's very scientific, and they can make a significant impact on a number of outcomes throughout the state.
And so the application of deep learning definitely can give some significant benefits. But you do need to make sure that everybody understands the benefits. You haven't put any bias in and all the other things, we need to be very careful around deep learning.
