There are three main reasons why people invest into their houses and home improvement projects. The first one is their wish to bring more quality and comfort into their private environment and to make their homes more personalized. The second reason is an urge to renovate ramshackle aspects of their houses. Finally, most people planning to sell their property opt for some lucrative investments that will increase the total value of it. Whatever your main motive for home improvement is, keep in mind that exterior and landscaping are as important as interior renovation. The arborists' company thoroughly describes the importance of the landscaping and its potential to give a completely new and unique appearance to your home if designed and maintained properly. Although landscaping includes wide range of features, trees and greenery are probably the most valuable aspect of it. Thus, here are the ways of hiring specialized arborist can improve your home design.
Arborists are experienced experts specially trained to maintain trees using powerful equipment and expert's knowledge. Planting new trees is a perfect way to improve the landscaping of your home, but trees shouldn't be planted randomly. Depending on the type of the soil, position of other landscaping features, property location regarding traffic and other houses, arborists will suggest you the best layout before planting. They will plant the trees for you taking care of the roots and proper position, but also remove the trees safely if necessary. Attractive greenery design will certainly improve the overall appearance of your property and further proper maintaining will make the landscaping neat and cultivated.
Crown thinning, crown lifting and crown reduction are three main tasks arborists conduct, aside from the mere planting and removing trees. These processes may be necessary or optional. If the branches are old and dry or spread inconveniently, they should be trimmed and cut. This will prevent potential injuries or damages. Crown reduction will protect your roof and windows if the trees grow way to close to it. Also, crown thinning and reduction will provide a better preview of the road, traffic, pathways and the rest of your backyard which is often required for safety reasons and higher comfort.
Properly thinned and trimmed tree crowns will increase the overall lighting quality and level in your backyard improving the quality of the lighting inside your home as well. Also, the shape and density of the crowns determine various microclimate aspects. An experienced arborist will provide adequate crown reduction that will provide adequate temperature during hot and cold days equally. Rich branching of the crowns is suitable to protect your property from strong wind and bad weather conditions, but in order to get healthy and branchy tree crown, you need an experienced arborist to cut off old branches and properly maintain young, growing ones. Above mentioned reasons are just the main benefits of hiring a professional arborist to take care of your trees, but the list certainly goes on.
It can be difficult to choose the right flowers for your garden. There are so many different plants and to know how to care for each one of them, how to implement them in the right way and how will it all look is quite impossible. So here are some flowers that can be perfect for your oasis.
A tropical plant Mussaenda frondosa, which originates in the rain forests of western and central Africa, is a special beauty. Unusual white whites are visible during the summer. An evergreen flower plant during the summer season is well tolerated by a light but not too sunny place under the clear sky.
This beauty is also called "Bangkok Rose", and the family Rubiaceae also belongs to Gardenia, Ixora, Pentas and coffee plant (Coffea arabica). Care advice: Use a high-quality soil for flower flowers and do not let the earth dry completely.
Depending on the type of cultivar, musende can grow up to four and six feet, while in the wild many species grow as snowmobiles and rises even 30 feet above the ground. Ornaments on this plant are lovely white leaves that act as gigantic flower petals, while the real flowers are actually smaller, red in form of stars.
If you want a luxuriant shrub with a refreshing scent in your backyard, with beautifully delicate soft colors, this aromatic gardener is the right choice for you. For the intense and sweet smell of honey that flies over the flower arrangement, the "culprit" is the Primordial Lobular "Easter Bonnet White". It tirelessly flourishes and forms a thick carpet of white flowers.
Behind it, the "Kiss Yellow" with bright yellow color will go really nice with your garden. In the last middle part for the elegant note and the typical Karie aroma is the silvery color of the leaves of dwarf caries "Aladin" where yellow flowers appear on the summer. The Lemon Slice Hoyer combines a yellow-and-white colored motif with its striped flowers, in the center of which is a yellow star on a white background.
Standing flowers in a full, sensual form make the "air of light" hydrangea a beauty that will bring to your garden a new, elegant and gorgeous note. Color is what makes the beauty of the horticulture specific and unusual – a pale shade of greenish skin is so unusual and different from the blue and pink tones that we are accustomed to.
In temperate weather, the flowers open as greenish yellow, they pass in a luminous white color during the summer and get a pink tone in the autumn. You can prune it in autumn, winter, or spring, but this is not necessary for its advancement. If the branches overlap or spoil the form, you can cut them off and if you like it, you can also trim it in the shape of a tree.
The lamps and other lighting fixtures will bring a romance into the garden and certain mysticism. According to Feng Shui specialists, torches should be lit in every corner of your garden. If there are certain separate areas in the garden, it is good to burn a torch everywhere. You can play with the level of lighting and colors.
When laying lamps and torches, fountains and "music bells", for more comfort and harmony you need to add figures of different animals, flowers, dwarfs, angels, and villas – choose according to your desire. A figurine that causes you positive emotions is the most important choice. These figures are guardians of your garden and your home.
The fountain is a symbol of prosperity, wealth, vitality and abundance. The sounds of water help to gather thoughts, to relax, to free from anxiety and negative thoughts. The shape of the fountain (waterfall) may vary, depending on the style in your garden. It is desirable to put the fountain on the southeast side of the garden and it is important that the movement of water is completely or partially towards the house. In this way, you will strengthen your well-being and wealth.
The birds are, according to Feng Shui, messengers of God, they are happiness, harmony, and joy. Keep garden bird feeders in the garden and enjoy the breeze of birds throughout the year. In the end, without birds, it's hard to imagine any kind of garden.
If your garden has a faceless wall, you need to decorate it properly. Feng Shui experts say that the garden should not be an uneven and plain white wall or brick wall that makes imbalance in the total energy of the garden. You can paint it or, alternatively, decorate it with flower pots. If the wall is in the north, it is best if the drawings are connected with water, if in the east, draw a picture of the forest, if the image is connected to the metal in the west, and if the south is the best picture of the fire.
Curtains are another fine detail that brings positive energy to the garden. You can use them in the pergola, summer house or you can decorate the passages. Choose the curtains that will lightly move even the smallest wind. They not only create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort but slow down the flow of energy that passes through your garden.
Taking care of your garden can be a great hobby and relaxation, especially if you are dealing with it in the right way. Experienced gardeners know what mistakes you should avoid to fully enjoy your garden. If you have plans to devote to your yard, you have to address some of the basic things that happen, especially for beginners. Most important, be sure not to delay the work that you need to do in your garden.
We are highlighting five common mistakes that are experienced gardeners warned us about. Those are the things that can bring you more harm than use and instead of your favorite hobby in which you will enjoy, bring worry.
Many new gardens, instead of going from small things, exceed the budget and have big expectations at the very beginning of settling the yard. It is the best to start with the minor things in decorating your yard. This way you will build your new environment step by step, you will have the experience of success and satisfaction and you will gain a better feel for the climate, sun, wind and all the details in the garden, on which proper selection of plants and practical arrangement is depending on.
Find out what your soil needs and provide it. It makes no sense to plant good plants in a bad soil and then to move them around the garden, buy new ones, and fight in this unequal battle.
Read labels on seed packs and on chemicals for care and protection. All these manufacturers want you to succeed and that's why they provide you with a lot of information to help you know where, when and how to plant, what are the preferred conditions, and how the plant will grow. Believe them.
Do you have neighbors with big gardens? Ask them about known problems, pests and, of course, successes. They can save you from some critical mistakes. But do not blindly believe them. Nod your head, and then check the information on the Internet where you need to find reliable sources.
If you really want to have a successful, long-term garden, plant perennials. If you cannot resist one-year plants, plant vegetables. At least then you have beautiful plants, but also food. If your budget is not limited, plant both.
Before you start using them, consider whether the problem you are solving is so important, because these resources are not the healthiest solutions for the environment. Keep in mind, there are no perfect gardens. Pests tend to come in waves for years.
Do not fool yourself with "natural chemical" products. These are popular terms that are mostly meaningless. Give yourself a homework and find out what they are made of and what they actually do. Taking care of your plants is letting them grow in their natural environment with other living beings, but it is also not letting them get sick.

We get it—growing up is expensive. Groceries, gas, college classes… it all adds up. And you don't want to barely get by, you want to thrive! Moving out of your parent's house, getting a car that doesn't break down every other week, and being able to afford a night out with friends are all admirable goals. Goals that require a reasonably-sized paycheck.
If you aim to earn a decent living, your degree choice matters—and not every bachelor's degree has the same financial future in store.
But you also want to work in a field that interests you. From a quick Google search, you'll find that a majority of the higher paying jobs are STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), and require degrees in those respective fields. That's great… for people who enjoy science, technology, engineering, and math. But what about the rest of us? Is there any hope for us?
Being uninterested in STEM doesn't mean you're doomed to be a starving artist. Despite common belief, you can work in the arts, education, or social sciences and earn an above-average salary.
So if you're struggling to make a degree decision that will satisfy your interests and your financial needs, here's a list of the 16 highest paying degrees from each general field, according to PayScale.
Keep in mind, this list is nowhere near extensive, and there are many more high-paying degrees out there. No matter what your interests are, there are opportunities to thrive! So even if you aren't a STEM genius, get out there and be your lovely self—people need what you can offer (and will pay you for whatever that is).
What are you waiting for? Go ahead and do your own research on the degrees that interest you. Determine your passions, calculate your degree's return on investment, and get to work!
Before you know it, you'll be working in a field that fuels your passions—without going broke.
Of course, if you're serious about setting up a secure financial future post-graduation, you need to think about more than your degree. The average graduate pays $385 towards student loans every month. What if you could put that money toward your car, a wedding, or a house instead of throwing it to the debt monsters?
If you want financial security after college, you need to graduate debt free. Fortunately, that's what we at Unbound help students do every single day. Click here to learn more about how you can graduate from your college without a single student loan.

North Korean Accordians, 80's Pop. Video Gold.
How did a video of five young North Korean accordionists playing the 80's pop tune "Take On Me" go viral this weekend?
It's the product of several years of work and five visits to North Korea by Norwegian artist Morten Traavik, who has gained attention in the past for art exhibitions and performances that cross boundaries in more ways than one. Mr. Traavik on Sunday welcomed a group of 11 North Koreans musicians and artists to the Norwegian capital of Oslo, their first stop on the way to the Barents Spektakel, an arts and culture festival in Kirkenes, in Norway's far northeast near the Russian border.

How big data and analytics are transforming the audit
Related topics Audit EY Digital Audit Analytics and big data Reporting insights
We explore the key issues facing auditors as they embrace big data and analytics.
Historically, data was something you owned and was generally structured and human-generated. However, technology trends over the past decade have broadened the definition, which now includes data that is unstructured and machine-generated, as well as data that resides outside of corporate boundaries.
"Big data" is the term used to describe this massive portfolio of data that is growing exponentially. The general view is that big data will have a dramatic impact on enhancing productivity, profits and risk management. But big data in itself yields limited value until it has been processed and analyzed.
Analytics is the process of analyzing data with the objective of drawing meaningful conclusions. Major companies and organizations have recognized the opportunity that big data and analytics provide, and many are making significant investments to better understand the impact of these capabilities on their businesses. One area where we see significant potential is in the transformation of the audit.
Transforming the audit
As we continue to operate in one of the toughest and most uneven economic climates in modern times, the relevance of the role of auditors in the financial markets is more important than ever before. Audit firms must continue their robust audits to serve the public interest by increasing quality on a continuous basis and by delivering more insights and value to the users of the financial statements. Professional skepticism, and a continued focus on the quality of audit evidence, are required throughout an audit. Meanwhile, companies are expecting an enhanced dialogue with their auditors and more relevant insights.
While the profession has long recognized the impact of data analysis on enhancing the quality and relevance of the audit, mainstream use of this technique has been hampered due to a lack of efficient technology solutions, problems with data capture and concerns about privacy. However, recent technology advancements in big data and analytics are providing an opportunity to rethink the way in which an audit is executed.
The transformed audit will expand beyond sample-based testing to include analysis of entire populations of audit-relevant data (transaction activity and master data from key business processes), using intelligent analytics to deliver a higher quality of audit evidence and more relevant business insights. Big data and analytics are enabling auditors to better identify financial reporting, fraud and operational business risks and tailor their approach to deliver a more relevant audit.
While we are making significant progress and are beginning to see the benefits of big data and analytics in the audit, we recognize that this is a journey. A good way to describe where we are as a profession is to draw parallels with the TV and film subscription service Netflix. When the company started in 1997, it adopted a DVD-by-mail model, sending movies to its customers, who returned them after an evening or a week of entertainment. Netflix always knew that the future was in online streaming of movies, but the technology was not ready at that time, nor was high-speed consumer broadband as prevalent as it has since become.
It's a massive leap to go from traditional audit approaches to one that fully integrates big data and analytics in a seamless manner.
Roshan Ramlukan
Today, we are engaged in the audit equivalent of DVD-by-mail, moving data from our clients to EY for use by auditors. What we really want is to have intelligent audit appliances that reside within companies' data centers and stream the results of our proprietary analytics to audit teams. But the technology to accomplish this vision is still in its infancy and, in the interim, we are delivering audit analytics by processing large client data sets within our environment, integrating analytics into our audit approach and getting companies comfortable with the future of audit.
The transition to this future won't happen overnight. It's a massive leap to go from traditional audit approaches to one that fully integrates big data and analytics in a seamless manner.
Barriers to integration
There are a number of barriers to the successful integration of big data and analytics into the audit, though they are not insurmountable.
The first is data capture: if auditors are unable to efficiently and cost-effectively capture company data, they will not be able to use analytics in the audit. Companies invest significantly in protecting their data, with multilayered approval processes and technology safeguards. As a result, the process of obtaining client approval for provision of data to the auditors can be time-consuming. In some cases, companies have refused or have been reluctant to provide data, citing security concerns.
Moreover, auditors encounter hundreds of different accounting systems and, in many cases, multiple systems within the same company. Data extraction has not historically been a core competency within audit, and companies don't necessarily have this competency either. This results in multiple attempts and a lot of back and forth between the company and the auditor on data capture.
Today, extraction of data is primarily focused on general ledger data. However, embracing big data to support the audit will mean obtaining sub-ledger information, such as revenue or procurement-cycle data, for key business processes. This increases the complexity of data extraction and the volumes of data to be processed.
While it is reasonably easy to use descriptive analytics to understand the business and identify potential risk areas, using analytics to produce audit evidence in response to those risks is a lot more difficult. One problem with relying on analytics to produce audit evidence relates to the "black box" nature of the way in which analytics works, with algorithms or rules used to transform data and produce visualizations or reports. When the auditor gets to this stage, they need to find the appropriate balance between applying auditor judgment and relying on the results of these analytics.
The transformed audit will expand beyond sample-based testing to include analysis of entire populations of audit-relevant data.
The value of integrating big data and analytics into the audit will only be realized when used by auditors to influence the scope, nature and extent of the audit. This will require them to develop new skills focused on knowing what questions to ask of the data, and the ability to use analytics output to produce audit evidence, draw audit conclusions and derive meaningful business insights.
It requires a ground-up initiative to better understand and influence the education students get at universities and colleges, enhancing learning and development programs, and establishing the appropriate implementation and enablement programs to support audit teams to effectively integrate big data and analytics into the audit.
Analytics dilemmas
A further issue is how auditing standards and regulations can be aligned with the use of data analytics. In general, the auditing profession is governed by standards that were conceived some years ago and that did not contemplate the ability to leverage big data. Below are four areas that require further consideration.
Substantive analytical procedures: These examine the reasonableness of relationships in financial statement items, to uncover variations from expected trends. However, the standard doesn't cover using big data-based analytics to provide "substantive evidence." One of the key differences with analytics techniques is that the procedures are used to identify unusual transactions or misstatements, based on the analysis of the data, and usually without the auditor establishing an expectation. Big data and these kind of analytics techniques did not exist when the standard was conceived, so were not considered as a source of audit evidence. The gap creates uncertainty regarding the relevance and applicability of analytics in providing anything more than indicative evidence.
Validating the data used for analytics: As auditors receive information from the client, they determine its clerical accuracy and completeness, and whether it is appropriate as audit evidence. This applies whether they receive printed documents (such as contracts) or electronic data.
But audit analytics do not use or rely on reports generated by the system; instead, relevant master and transaction data is extracted directly from the underlying databases. Procedures are then performed to validate the accuracy and completeness of the data, and it is reconciled to system-generated reports. The auditor is then confident that their analysis is based on the same data the company uses to produce its financial information.
While the standards provide some guidance in this area, they could not have anticipated the type and volume of data that auditors are extracting. Inevitably, there are limitations in the extent to which auditors can derive evidence from the procedures that may be performed in relation to such data.
Defining audit evidence: The standards provide a hierarchy of evidence, with third-party evidence at the top and management inquiries at the bottom. However, the standards do not indicate what type of evidence analytics provides. It is possible to relate some of these types of tests to the current framework in the standards, but not all. Without a proper description of the type of evidence that analytics provides, auditors are reluctant to claim it as evidence, thus negating the benefits.
Precision: An audit is designed to detect a material misstatement. When companies record revenues amounting to billions of dollars and users of the financial statements expect them to be free of material misstatements, what level of precision do the auditors require of their data analytics? The standards need to provide more guidance in this area.
Ultimately, the audit of the future could look quite different from the audit of today. Auditors will be able to use larger data sets and analytics to better understand the business, identify key risk areas and deliver enhanced quality and coverage while providing more business value. But to achieve this transformation, the profession will need to work closely with key stakeholders, from the businesses they are auditing to the regulators and standard-setters.

I think Paul Krugman is the modern day Grand Shaman leading the giant village known as the "USA" to financial ruin. Having said that, I must now defend him. Gonzalo Lira, an excellent commenter on the economy, wrote a blog post taking apart Krugman's fallacious argument that deficits got the US economy out of the Great Depression.
The prosperity the United States experienced in the two decades after World War II had nothing to do with deficit spending, and everything to do with the fact that it was the only industrialized nation still standing after a total world war—so the rest of the world was forced to buy from the U.S. because there was no one else left to buy from.
Deficits had nothing to do with it.
I agree with Lira that Krugman's arguments are wrong. I just don't think Lira's argument is right.
Suppose that there are only two small neighboring villages in the world. Your village, Twin Peaks, has a grocery store, hardware store and a computer store. The other village, Cicely, has a grocery store, clothing store, and car dealership.
People from Twin Peaks and Cicely generally buy groceries from their villages' own grocery stores. However, if you as a resident of Twin Peaks, want some clothes, you travel to Cicely to buy them. If someone in Cicely wants plywood, they travel to Twin Peaks to buy it.
If by chance Cicely's grocery store blows up due to a gas leak/fire, then an argument can be made Twin Peaks's grocery store will benefit. Its direct competition is out of the picture. Residents of both villages will now have to buy from Twin Peaks's grocery store.
But say the entire village of Cicely burns down. Now where will the people of Twin Peaks get their clothes and cars? Current productive resources will have to be shifted from groceries, hardware, and computers into clothes and cars. This is a net negative because the division of labor has taken a step back.
So, are countries more like directly competing stores or complementary specialized villages? I would argue they are the latter. The rest of the world being blown up during WWII was a net negative for the US as we could no longer trade for a lot of the stuff we used to. That's my argument and I'm open to counter-arguments.
Krugman's tribe was academic economists, and insofar as he paid any attention to people outside that tribe, his enemy was stupid pseudo-economists who didn't understand what they were talking about but who, with attention-grabbing titles and simplistic ideas, persuaded lots of powerful people to listen to them. He called these types "policy entrepreneurs"—a term that, by differentiating them from the academic economists he respected, was meant to be horribly biting. He was driven mad by Lester Thurow and Robert Reich in particular, both of whom had written books touting a theory that he believed to be nonsense: that America was competing in a global marketplace with other countries in much the same way that corporations competed with one another. In fact, Krugman argued, in a series of contemptuous articles in Foreign Affairs and elsewhere, countries were not at all like corporations. While another country's success might injure our pride, it would not likely injure our wallets. Quite the opposite: it would be more likely to provide us with a bigger market for our products and send our consumers cheaper, better-made goods to buy.
In this case, Krugman is correct. Simply put: division of labor and specialization raise the standard of living; blowing up capital lowers it. Post-WWII prosperity was not a result of the rest of the world being blown up.

Krugman suggests that spending during the Great Depression and war years laid the groundwork for the unusually high rate of economic growth that followed. Lira attributes the growth to lack of competition.
You disagree with Lira's analysis. So you attribute the unusual rate of growth to ...?

I won't speak for Jonathan, but I will speak for Bob Higgs. He thinks the 'regime uncertainty' of New Deal policies was responsible for the Great Depression, and only the end of both FDR's rule and WWII, with a 1/3 cut in the federal budget, allowed a post-war recovery.
Bob makes the argument better than I could--if you have trouble finding some of his articles or interviews, give a shout out and either I or some other LvMI fan can give you some links.

My best guess is that when the economy turned, the deleveraging process that started in late 1929 was finally complete--a prerequisite for the economy to build upon a new structure of production,.

I quick check to usgovernmentspending.com reveals that we were running very low deficits, and even surpluses, in the two decades following WWII.
So, did economic growth cause the surpluses/low deficits? Or did the surpluses/low deficits foster growth? Or are the two unconnected?

Yes, but also the Marshall Plan, the GI Bill, the Eisenhower freeway system, and labor union strength combined to produce freak conditions. For the first 25 years the working people got 80% of the net increased productivity. Last 25 years, thanks to dwindling labor strength and sending jobs off shore, our owners are keeping the 80%.
In other words, the world is regressing to the norm, 80% working poor (slaves, serfs, and straw bosses).
Submitted by Mark on Fri, 2010-09-17 13:27.
Do you think that infant mortality, leisure time, access to potable water or available calories will also regress? Once the working people have had the benefit of 25 years of increased productivity, are they "losing" if someone else benefits from increased productivity instead?
In other words, is poverty absolute or relative?

The nature of poverty in the US has changed. People on welfare have all the same sorts of consumer goods that rich people have. We should not sink to the level of China or Pakistan.

I used to judge women who stayed with abusive men. I wish I could say I didn't but I think I did. And then I realized how easy it is to stay. How hard it is to leave. I finally realize what Shakespeare meant when he said "the prince of darkness is a gentleman." Because with all the bad, deep and hurtful experiences, there are also great, wonderful and amazing times. And this mind game twists our brains, our hearts, into an uncomfortable delusion.
His manners made everyone think he was a southern gentleman. Looking back, instead of respecting boundaries, his pursuit made me feel loved, wanted. He was slowly worming his way into every area of my life. It was control masked as care. He would discuss our futures together, each word igniting hope for our happily ever after. The mind manipulation, the passive aggressiveness, the guilt began to eat at me. I was frantic to save what I didn't even want.
Him: You made plans for Friday night without even talking to me?
Me: I've been ignoring my friends for a month.
Him: So have I but that's because you're the most important thing in my life. I guess that was pretty stupid to think that you felt the same way about me.
Me: I do feel the same way.
And there I am. Left wondering, left thinking is he right and am I the one in the wrong? I didn't realize he was telling me how I felt when he didn't know me yet. But that's what control does. He was working to control my behavior by responding in a negative way. A way that would make me not dare to act the way I did ever again. We do this to children when they are little to teach them right and wrong. Only we typically do it out of concern, not control. And I wasn't his child.
But the mind control continues and leaves you second-guessing even further. He comes back apologizing and encouraging me to do what I initially wanted.
I love you way too much to stay mad at you. I know you didn't mean to hurt me and I know you aren't going to make plans anymore without talking to me first.
The last part of that sentence says it all. We get excited at the thought of a love that's "way too much" only to be left feeling beat down, feeling like we did something wrong when we didn't. I was so focused on the good, that I didn't realize he was telling me what to do. How often we think about the good in order to drown out the bad.

PWR 1VK: Writing & Rhetoric 1: Rhetorics of Trauma
Spurred, in part, by the events of September 11th and the plight of American service members returning from combat experiences in the Middle East, the public's gaze has been drawn toward the concept of trauma. This course considers the rhetorics of trauma, that is, how survivors of traumatic incidents, witnesses, psychologists, doctors, civil and military leaders, politicians, and the general public interpret trauma. These different understandings of trauma compete for social awareness and limited resources. For more information about PWR 1, see https://undergrad.stanford.edu/programs/pwr/courses/pwr-1.

PWR 1VL: Writing & Rhetoric 1: It's All Relative: The Rhetoric of the Modern American Family
The September 2017 issue of Interview Magazine features Kim Kardashian West dressed as Jackie Kennedy on the cover, along with her daughter, North. In the article, the magazine calls Kardashian West's popular reality show, a rooted-in-real life mirror to what the American family looks like today, bringing up topics such as race, gender, and more recently, trans identity. As early as 50 years ago, it would have been nearly impossible for a magazine to feature a white woman, especially one as notorious as Kim Kardashian, on its cover with her biracial, black daughter. So how did the mirror of the American Family change from the Mad Men ideal of a white, wealthy, suburban, nuclear family to a sprawling mega-family who document every moment of their lives for television screens? And is it even accurate to call the Kardashians the mirror? Who is left out of this reflection? nnIn this class, we will explore how representations of American families reflect shifting trends on the national level, including increasingly nuanced understandings of race, gender, sexuality, and citizenship. Through engagements with various texts (television, films, articles, advertisements) we will practice making nuanced written arguments about the rhetoric of families as we work toward the final assignment, a research-based argument. We will analyze several topics in class to develop and improve analytic and argumentative writing skills, from debates over LGBTQ+ parenting to mixed race families and generational conflicts while asking, what makes a family? Which aspects of families are represented as ideal? And what do those ideals say about issues beyond the family?

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, speaking Tuesday in Atlanta, has won the Georgia runoff election for Senate. (John Bazemore / AP)
Crucial Georgia Senate Runoff Called for Raphael Warnock
By The Associated Press December 5, 2022 at 10:11pm
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated Republican challenger Herschel Walker in a Georgia runoff election Tuesday, ensuring Democrats an outright majority in the Senate for the rest of President Joe Biden's current term.
With Warnock's second runoff victory in as many years, Democrats will have a 51-49 Senate majority, gaining a seat from the current 50-50 split with John Fetterman's victory in Pennsylvania. There will be divided government, however, with Republicans in control of the House of Representatives.
"After a hard-fought campaign — or, should I say, campaigns — it is my honor to utter the four most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy: The people have spoken," Warnock, 53, told supporters in a downtown Atlanta hotel ballroom.
"I often say that a vote is a kind of prayer for the world we desire for ourselves and for our children," said Warnock, a Baptist pastor and the state's first black senator.
"Georgia, you have been praying with your lips and your legs, your hands and your feet, your heads and your hearts. You have put in the hard work, and here we are standing together."
In last month's election, Warnock led Walker by 37,000 votes out of almost 4 million cast, but fell short of the 50 percent threshold needed to avoid a runoff.
The senator appeared to be headed for a wider final margin in Tuesday's runoff,
"The numbers look like they're not going to add up," Walker, an ally and friend of former President Donald Trump, told supporters late Tuesday at the College Football Hall of Fame in downtown Atlanta. "There's no excuses in life, and I'm not going to make any excuses now because we put up one heck of a fight."
Walker's defeat bookends the GOP's struggles this year to win in a midterm atmosphere that was expected to favor the Republican Party and further empowers the Biden administration in areas where control of the Senate is crucial — such as judicial appointments.
Would you have voted for Herschel Walker if you lived in Georgia?
Democrats' new outright majority in the Senate means the party will no longer have to negotiate a power-sharing deal with Republicans and won't have to rely on Vice President Kamala Harris to break as many tie votes.
National Democrats celebrated Tuesday, with Biden tweeting a photo of his congratulatory phone call to the senator. "Georgia voters stood up for our democracy, rejected Ultra MAGAism, and … sent a good man back to the Senate," Biden tweeted, referencing Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
About 1.9 million runoff votes were cast in Georgia by mail and during early voting. A robust Election Day turnout added about 1.4 million more, slightly more than the Election Day totals in November and in 2020.
However, total turnout still trailed the 2021 runoff turnout of about 4.5 million. Voting rights groups pointed to changes made by state lawmakers after the 2020 election that shortened the period for runoffs, from nine weeks to four, as a reason for the decline in early and mail voting.
Warnock emphasized his willingness to work across the aisle and his personal values, buoyed by his status as senior pastor of Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, where civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. once preached.
Former Democrat Congressman Calls Party Brand 'Toxic', Tells Liberals to Stay Away From One Issue
Walker benefited during the campaign from nearly unmatched name recognition from his football career, yet was dogged by questions about his fitness for office.
In his personal life, Walker faced new attention on his ex-wife's previous accounts of domestic violence, including details that he once held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her. He has never denied those specifics and wrote of his violent tendencies in a 2008 memoir that attributed the behavior to mental illness.
Walker, meanwhile, sought to portray Warnock as a yes-man for Biden. He sometimes made the attack in especially personal terms, accusing Warnock of "being on his knees, begging" at the White House — a searing charge in any context, but especially loaded in the case of a black challenger leveling it against a black senator about his relationship with a white president.
Warnock distanced himself from Biden, whose approval ratings have lagged as inflation remains high. After the general election, Biden promised to help Warnock in any way he could, even if it meant staying away from Georgia. Bypassing the president, Warnock decided instead to campaign with former President Barack Obama in the days before the runoff election.

How TMC Works
Best Documented Car Award
Concours d'Elegance
Original or Authentic?
Post author By Julio
Image: From The Hemmings article – The Bugatti from the Lake – 1925 Bugatti Type 22 Brescia
So here it is, the first ever The Motor Chain article – something I only was able to produce after defeating the twin fears of "writer's block" and "first time ever blog."
Welcome, and please enjoy.
What is an original?
Whether you're in the classic vehicle scene or not, you've probably heard "This car has been restored to its original condition" or "it remains authentic to last detail" or " it is a time capsule" or "it is a survivor." Inspiring words, but what is the owner or dealer really saying? What do they really mean in practical terms, and how do they affect the value of the vehicle?
I've discussed this topic in depth with collectors, restoration garages and classic car authors and journalists, and this is the consensus on what we can consider as standard for our community
Original components are exactly that – identical in every way to those of the vehicle when it rolled out of the factory, to the most basic level. This means an original vehicle retains all the components today that it had when it left the production line.
In the case of a racing car, it will be original if it still has all the original parts from when it finished a specific race.
Authentic.
Unlike an original part, which must be contemporaneous to the vehicle's stock parts, an authentic component is merely identical. It is a reproduction or replacement part, made with the same tools, materials and guidelines as used during the original period of production. This means that while original parts are always authentic, authentic parts are not necessarily original.
Another important factor in evaluating a vehicle is its condition – what is the level of deterioration from its original, stock condition caused by time, the elements, usage, etc.
How this works in the real world
The Bugatti T22 Brescia rescued from the bottom of Lago Maggiore in Ascona is 100% original but has a 0% condition due to its almost 100 years under the water
An extremely low mileage, never driven, never registered vehicle properly stored or in a museum will be 100% original and 100% condition. These are the vehicles known as "Time Capsules"
A classic car raced and sadly crashed, which had some aluminum panels replaced would be 80% original and 100% authentic, assuming they had to replace 20% of the car's bodywork
A vehicle which retains original engine and chassis but got her transmission replaced with a period correct one we could say is 66% original and 100% authentic
My Ferrari 308 GTB retains original bodywork, chassis, engine, transmission, paint and interior. However some elements like the spare wheel are not the original but period correct. The fuse box, dashboard bezels and trunk strut are reproductions, so we could say that today it is 80% original and 95% authentic.
Of course, the line between authentic and original is determined by documentation – after all, without the papers to prove it one way or the other, how can we tell? That brings the final factor into the valuation equation – trust. It's a big question, and one that I'll return to at a later date. Until then, I hope this helps in better understanding classic vehicles and with making better decisions when buying, maintaining, restoring selling or driving your car or motorbike
Until next time, happy driving!

Plugin.xml file defines the structure and settings required for your plugin. It has several elements to provide details about your plugin.
The plugin element is the plugin manifest's top-level element.
The plugin namespace, http://apache.org/cordova/ns/plugins/1.0. If the document contains XML from other namespaces, such as tags to be added to the AndroidManifest.xml file in the case of Android, those namespaces should also be included in the element.
A npm-style identifier for the plugin.
A version number for the plugin. Semver syntax is supported.
The child elements of the <engines> element specify versions of Apache Cordova-based frameworks that this plugin supports. The CLI aborts with a non-zero code for any plugin whose target project does not meet the engine's constraints. If no tags are specified, the CLI attempts to install into the specified cordova project directory blindly.
You can also specify a custom framework apart from the default ones.
The version that your framework must have in order to install. Semver syntax is supported.
The script file that tells plugman the version of the custom framework. Ideally, this file should be within the top level directory of your plugin directory.
Engine elements may also specify fuzzy matches using '>', '>=' etc. to avoid repetition, and to reduce maintenance when the underlying platform is updated.
The name element is used to specify the name of the plugin. This element does not (yet) handle localization.
The description element is used to specify the description of the plugin. This element does not (yet) handle localization.
The content of the author element contains the name of the plugin author.
The content of the keywords element contains comma separated keywords to describe the plugin.
This element is used to specify the license of the plugin.
This element is used to list the files or directories to be copied into a Cordova app's www directory. Any <asset> elements that are nested within <platform> elements specify platform-specific web assets.
Where the file or directory is located in the plugin package, relative to the plugin.xml document. If a file does not exist at the specified src location, the CLI stops and reverses the installation process, issues a notification about the conflict, and exits with a non-zero code.
Where the file or directory should be located in the Cordova app, relative to the www directory. If a file already exists at the target location, the CLI stops and reverses the installation process, issues a notification about the conflict, and exits with a non-zero code.
Assets can be targeted to subdirectories as well. This will create the js/experimental directory within the www directory, unless already present, and copy the new-foo.js file and renames it to foo.js.
src(string) References a file in the plugin directory relative to the plugin.xml file. If src does not resolve to an existing file, the CLI stops and reverses the installation, issues a notification of the problem, and exits with a non-zero code.
When installing a plugin with the example below, socket.js is copied to www/plugins/my-plugin-id/socket.js, and added as an entry to www/cordova_plugins.js. At load time, code in cordova.js uses XHR to read each file and inject a <script> tag into HTML.
Also for this example, with a plugin id of chrome-socket, the module name will be chrome-socket.Socket.
Allowed within <js-module> element. Used to specify the namespace under window object where module.exports gets inserted. You can have as many <clobbers> as you like. Any object not available on window is created.
target(string) The namespace where module.exports gets inserted to.
Here module.exports gets inserted into the window object as window.chrome.socket.
Allowed within <js-module> element. Used to specify the namespace under window object where module.exports gets merged with any existing value. If any key already exists, the module's version overrides the original. You can have as many <merges> as you like. Any object not available on window is created.
target(string) The namespace which module.exports gets merged to.
Here module.exports gets merged with any existing value at window.chrome.socket.
Allowed within <js-module> element. It implies that your code should be specified with cordova.require, but not installed on the window object. This is useful when initializing the module, attaching event handlers or otherwise. You can only have up to one <runs/> tag. Note that including a <runs/> with <clobbers/> or <merges/> is redundant, since they also cordova.require your module.
The <dependency> tag allows you to specify other plugins on which the current plugin depends. The plugins are referenced by their unique npm ids or by github url.
id(string) Provides the ID of the plugin.
url(string) A URL for the plugin. This should reference a git repository, which the CLI attempts to clone.
commit(string) This is any git reference understood by git checkout: a branch or tag name (e.g., master, 0.3.1), or a commit hash (e.g., 975ddb228af811dd8bb37ed1dfd092a3d05295f9).
subdir(string) Specifies that the targeted plugin dependency exists as a subdirectory of the git repository. This is helpful because it allows the repository to contain several related plugins, each specified individually.
If you set the url of a <dependency> tag to "." and provide a subdir, the dependent plugin is installed from the same local or remote git repository as the parent plugin that specifies the <dependency> tag.
Note that the subdir always specifies a path relative to the root of the git repository, not the parent plugin. This is true even if you installed the plugin with a local path directly to it.The CLI finds the root of the git repository and then finds the other plugin from there.
version(string) The version of the plugin depended on. Semver syntax is supported.
Identifies a platform as supported, associating the element's children with that platform.
Identifies executable source code that should be installed into a project.
Location of the file relative to plugin.xml. If the src file can't be found, the CLI stops and reverses the installation, issues a notification about the problem, and exits with a non-zero code.
target-dir(string) A directory into which the files should be copied, relative to the root of the Cordova project. In practice, this is most important for Java-based platforms, where a file in the com.alunny.foo package must be located within the com/alunny/foo directory. For platforms where the source directory is not important, this attribute should be omitted.
If set to true, also adds the specified file as a framework to the project.
iOS If set, assigns the specified compiler flags for the particular source file.
This is like <source-file> element but specifically for platforms such as iOS and Android that distinguish between source files, headers, and resources. This is not supported by Windows.
target-dir(string) A directory into which the files should be copied, relative to the root of the Cordova project.
iOS If this value is BridgingHeader, the file is imported in the Bridging-Header.h and can be called from swift program.
This is like <source-file> element, but specifically for platforms such as iOS and Android that distinguish between source files, headers, and resources.
windows Allowed values: x86, x64 or ARM.
Indicates that the file should only be included when building for the specified architecture.
windows Allowed values: win (or windows), phone or all.
Indicates that the file should only be included when building for the specified target device type.
windows Indicates that the file should only be included when building for versions that match the specified version string. Value can be any valid node semantic version range string.
windows Indicates that the file should be referenced from the src rather than copied to the target destination. The file will appear in Visual Studio with the file name specified by target, however will point to the respective src, depending on the architecture.
NOTE: target should use backslashes to avoid DEP2100 deploy error in Visual Studio.
Identifies an XML-based configuration file to be modified, where in that document the modification should take place, and what should be modified. Two file types that have been tested for modification with this element are xml and plist files. The config-file element only allows you to append new children to an XML document tree. The children are XML literals to be inserted in the target document.
target(string) The file to be modified, and the path relative to the root of the Cordova project. If the specified file does not exist, the tool ignores the configuration change and continues installation.
The target can include wildcard (*) elements. In this case, the CLI recursively searches through the project directory structure and uses the first match.
On iOS, the location of configuration files relative to the project directory root is not known, so specifying a target of config.xml resolves to cordova-ios-project/MyAppName/config.xml.
parent(string) An XPath selector referencing the parent of the elements to be added to the config file. If you use absolute selectors, you can use a wildcard (*) to specify the root element, e.g., /*/plugins. If the selector does not resolve to a child of the specified document, the tool stops and reverses the installation process, issues a warning, and exits with a non-zero code.
For plist files, the parent determines under what parent key the specified XML should be inserted.
after(string) A prioritized list of accepted siblings after which to add the XML snippet. Useful for specifying changes in files which require strict ordering of XML elements like this.
windows Allowed values: win, phone, all.
Applicable when affecting the meta-name package.appxmanifest, this attribute indicates that the file should only be modified when building for the specified target device type.
windows Applicable when affecting the meta-name package.appxmanifest, this attribute indicates that app manifests for specific Windows versions should only be altered for versions that match the specified version string. Value can be any valid node semantic version range string.
The above example will set pre-8.1 platforms (Windows 8, specifically) to require the webcam device capability and the picturesLibrary general capability, and apply the webcam device capability only to Windows 8.1 projects that build for Windows Phone. Windows desktop 8.1 systems are unmodified.
Similar to config-file, edit-config identifies an XML-based configuration file to be modified, where in that document the modification should take place, and what should be modified. Instead of appending new children to an XML document tree, edit-config makes modifications to attributes of XML elements. There are two modes which will determine what type of attribute modification will be made, merge or overwrite. edit-config has one child and that child will contain the attributes to be added.
file(string) The file to be modified, and the path relative to the root of the Cordova project. If the specified file does not exist, the tool ignores the configuration change and continues installation.
target(string) An XPath selector referencing the target element to make attribute modifications to. If you use absolute selectors, you can use a wildcard (*) to specify the root element, e.g., /*/plugins. If the selector does not resolve to a child of the specified document, the tool stops and reverses the installation process, issues a warning, and exits with a non-zero code.
mode(string) The mode that determines what type of attribute modifications will be made.
merge - Adds the specified attributes to the target element. Will replace the attribute values if the specified attributes already exist in the target element.
overwrite - Replaces all attributes in the target element with the attributes specified.
Multiple plugins can not modify the same attributes because it may cause problems with the application. An error will be thrown and plugin install will fail. The conflicting edit-config tags must be resolved before the plugin can be added. Make modifications to conflicting tags to resolve the conflict, then remove and re-add the updated plugins.
There is an option for those who are certain that the plugin should be installed despite the conflicts. The --force flag can be used with cordova plugin add. Force adding the plugin will revert conflicting changes of other plugins so that it can be added without issues. --force should be used with caution as reverting changes of other plugins may cause the application to not work as expected.
If the plugins ever get in a weird state, remove all plugins and re-add them.
Assume plugin-1 from above is already installed. Trying to install plugin-2 below will cause an error because plugin-1 has modified uses-sdk element in AndroidManifest.xml already.
One possible resolution of the conflict is to remove the edit-config tag from plugin-2 and merge it into plugin-1's edit-config tag (assuming plugin-1 has no issue with this change). Remove both plugins and re-add them with these changes. plugin-2 should be added cleanly this time.
The second way to add plugin-2 involves adding the plugin with --force. The conflicting edit-config change from plugin-1 will be reverted and plugin-2's change will be applied. The resulting AndroidManifest.xml will have the uses-sdk change from plugin-2 and the activity change from plugin-1. Notice only the uses-sdk change from plugin-1 is gone since it was the only conflicting change.
Note: Reverted changes from --force are gone for good. They will not reappear after removing the plugin that was force added. If the reverted changes are needed, all associated plugins should be removed and re-added.
Specifies a key and value to append to the correct AppInfo.plist file in an iOS Cordova project. This is outdated as it only applies to cordova-ios 2.2.0 and below. Use the <config-file> tag for newer versions of Cordova.
Like source, resource, and header files, but specifically for platforms such as BlackBerry 10 that use user-generated libraries. For the Windows platform, the <lib-file> element allows the inclusion of an <SDKReference> in the generated Windows project files.
The location of the file relative to plugin.xml. If src can't be found, the CLI stops and reverses the installation, issues a warning about the problem, and exits with a non-zero code.
For Windows, it indicates the name of the SDK to include (which will be used as value of the Include attribute of the generated <SDKReference> element).
arch(string) The architecture for which the .so file has been built, either device or simulator.
For Windows, it indicates that the <SDKReference> should only be included when building for the specified architecture. Supported values are x86, x64 or ARM.
Indicates that the <SDKReference> should only be included when building for the specified target device type.
windows Indicates that the <SDKReference> should only be included when building for versions that match the specified version string. Value can be any valid node semantic version range string.
For Android, the <lib-file> element is used for installing .jar files in the project's libs directory. It supports only the src attribute which contains the relative path to the .jar file.
Identifies a framework (usually part of the OS/platform) on which the plugin depends.
The name of the system framework or the relative path to one which is included as part of your plugin files.
custom(boolean) Indicates whether the framework is included as part of your plugin files.
Indicates whether the framework should be weakly linked.
type(string) Indicates the type of framework to add.
Sets the relative path to the directory containing the sub-project to which to add the reference. The default, ., implies the application project.
Indicates that the framework should only be included when building for the specified architecture.
Indicates that the framework should only be included when building for the specified target device type.
windows Indicates that the framework should only be included when building for versions that match the specified version string. Value can be any valid node semantic version range string.
windows Indicates a subdirectory into which the framework should be copied. In practice, this is most important when plugin contains different framework versions for different chip architectures or device targets, but which have the same name. This allows you to specify different subfolders for each framework version so that they don't overlap each other.
windows Sets the relative path to .dll file that contains implementation for WinMD component, written in C++.
ios Paired with type="podspec", this is the spec string for the CocoaPod you want to install (static library only). CocoaPod support only exists in cordova-ios 4.3.0 and cordova-cli 6.4.0. For your plugin, make sure you add the appropriate <engine> tags and package.json dependencies to ensure backwards-compatible support.
On Android (as of cordova-android@4.0.0), framework tags are used to include Maven dependencies, or to include bundled library projects.
On Windows, using custom='true' and type='projectReference' will add a reference to the project which will be added to the compile+link steps of the cordova project. This essentially is the only way currently that a 'custom' framework can target multiple architectures as they are explicitly built as a dependency by the referencing cordova application.
Identifies the CocoaPods Podfile that provides the dependencies in which the plugin depends on.
This element contains a <config> and a <pods> tag.
The <config> element identifies the source urls in which the CocoaPods specs are retrieved from.
This element contains one or more <source> tags.
The source url of pods spec.
The <pods> element identifies CocoaPods libraries.
This element contains a <pod> tag for each CocoaPods libraries.
If true, the use_frameworks! attribute is declared in the Podfile.
If true, the inhibit_all_warnings! attribute is declared in the Podfile.
configurations Pod configurations option. For multiple values, separate them with a comma.
path Pod path option. Pod located on the local file system.
options Pod options declared in raw format. If declared, the other Pod options are overwritten.
Example: options=":git => 'https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire.git', :tag => '3.1.1'"
Additional information provided to users. This is useful when you require extra steps that can't be easily automated or are beyond the CLI's scope. The contents of this tag gets printed out when the CLI installs the plugin.
You need to install __Google Play Services__ from the `Android Extras` section using the Android SDK manager (run `android`).
The CLI replaces variable references with the specified value, or the empty string if not found. The value of the variable reference may be detected (in this case, from the AndroidManifest.xml file) or specified by the user of the tool; the exact process is dependent on the particular tool.
Certain variable names should be reserved, like $PACKAGE_NAME. This is the reverse-domain style unique identifier for the package, corresponding to the CFBundleIdentifier on iOS or the package attribute of the top-level manifest element in an AndroidManifest.xml file.
As seen in the previous section, sometimes plugin might require user to specify values for their variables. To make those variable mandatory, the <platform> tag needs to contain a <preference> tag. The CLI checks that these required preferences are passed in. If not, it should warn the user how to pass the variable in and exit with a non-zero code. Preferences can be referenced elsewhere in plugin.xml using the syntax $PREFERENCE_NAME.
Name of the variable. Can only contain capital letters, digits, and underscores.
default(string) Default value of the variable. If present, its value will be used and no error will be emitted in case user does not enter any value.

Least cost routing gets the boot

Read in this story
Not cheap enough
Larger losses
Digital is calling
Interconnect rate cuts will see the LCR market collecting dust, say operators.
The new proposed interconnect rates have killed the business case for least-cost routing (LCR), say local alternative telecomsproviders.
At the beginning of April, the Independent Communications Authority of SA (ICSA) dropped a bombshell on the industry, proposing large-scale mobile and fixed-line termination rate cuts. The new cuts will see mobile termination drop to 40c, by 2012, and fixed-line rates are to reach 10c in the same year.
The massive proposed rates are not expected to be too heavily contested by the operators, and analysts have said all of the incumbent players are likely to implement these new rates.
Mobile operators are also starting to complain to the regulator that the LCR model is damaging their network performance. An executive at one of the large mobile operators told an ICASA councillor at the beginning of the month that placing a mass of SIMs in a single area has forced operators to erect base-stations to cope with the traffic caused by the LCR model, which was an additional cost to the company.
Meanwhile, the interconnect rate cuts have caused a stir among alternative operators, with many predicting the demise of the LCR model. While most are pessimistic about the future of LCR, at least one LCR operator is confident it still has a value proposition.
Vox Telecoms, which owns Orion, is one of the country's largest LCR players. Tony van Marken, CEO of Vox Telecom, says: "The LCR market is basically going to disappear over the next couple of years."
The LCR model relies on discounts provided by the operators to alternative players. These discounts and bulk buys allow for operators to charge less to their customers using a premicell, or SIM farm.
Van Marken explains that savings that can be achieved by routing calls on net have now been reduced by the drop in interconnect rates. "Savings are far less than they were before and, ultimately, they will be eliminated."
Vox plans to unwind its existing LCR business and move clients onto its own network, Cristal. So far, 28% of all the minutes it sells are from its own network, with the balance being spread across other networks.
Van Marken explains that, in time, moving customers onto Cristal will bolster margins and replace the lost revenue from LCR. "It's short-term pain for long-term gain."
Altech CEO Craig Venter says his LCR provider, Autopage, will lose R20 million in pre-tax profit in the next financial year, because of the cut in interconnect rates. Autopage is the fourth-largest LCR player, and LCR makes up 11.9% of its income.
"In hindsight, I'm glad Autopage didn't do too good a job and become number one," he says. The company has fully provided for the drop in profit, and has already cut R53 million in costs by trimming 217 staff, which will aid the drop off.
Autopage, the company's largest division, earned 59% of the company's revenue and 31% of its operating profit in the last financial year. Altech turned over R9.2 billion in the last year, and operating revenue of R933 million.
Chris Gilmour, Absa Investments analyst, says companies are going to have to rethink their business model and find a way of replacing the lost revenue. "You can't have your cake and eat it."
Huge Telecom CEO James Herbst says the doom and gloom expressed by other LCR providers is nonsense. He believes the company still has a significant value proposition in the LCR market.
He says the LCR market is about providing customers with the lowest cost route. "LCR will always be en vogue. Everyone wants to pay the cheapest rates for their calls," he adds.
According to Herbst, the LCR model has nothing to do with the interconnect rates, and everything to do with competition in the market. He says it will always be cheaper to route calls from one on-net SIM card to another. "It's ridiculous to think that calling from MTN to Vodacom will be cheaper than if a call is made from MTN to MTN," he notes.
He points to the history of LCR, which thrived during the early 2000s, when the interconnect rate was at 50c per minute. "We had a business model then, and we have one now," he notes.
Herbst believes VOIP providers are in bigger trouble than the LCR providers. He says many of the VOIP providers subsidised their outgoing calls with the high interconnect rate on incoming calls.
However, now VOIP providers are being classified as fixed-line services, meaning that on inbound interconnect rates, those companies will only be paid 15c for termination, while they will pay mobile operators the 65c rate expected in June.
But local VOIP provider O-Tel Telecom disagrees, saying that, with LCR out the way, VOIP can now make a decent go of the market.
CEO Mohammad Patel says, with LCR losing ground, the technology that sits in customer offices can be used to route voice traffic over an IP network. "Low interconnect rates now allow the digital telephony sector players, such as Neotel, Vox, O-Tel and ECN, to enter the market opened by the now redundant LCR routers," he notes.
With most of the LCR players looking to exit the market over the next three years, O-Tel may well get its hands on the routing equipment in customer offices.

SAPUTO Law > Saputo Law Blog > Texas Criminal Law > 2021 Expunction Update: Ex parte R.P.G.P.
The Texas Supreme Court released a major opinion regarding expunction law that will upend legal thinking about expunction matters statewide. If you have a misdemeanor case that was dismissed but you have never been able to get it expunged, this may change things for you.
In May of 2021, in Ex Parte R.P.G.P.,1 the Texas Supreme Court concluded that the Texas courts of appeal have been incorrectly classifying which expunction laws were "arrest-based" or "charge-based." Why is this important? It's important because many thousands of people have been denied expunctions on the basis that, even thought their case was dismissed, they were convicted of some other offense that arose from the same arrest. The Supreme Court has now made it clear that many of these people who have dismissed cases may now qualify for an expunction – but there are certain caveats.
Do you need to obtain an Order of Expunction to erase your criminal record? Call attorney Paul Saputo at (888) 239-9305 to get an intake form to book your expunction consultation.
At issue in Ex Parte R.P.G.P. was whether the petitioner (the arrested person – the person who wanted the expunction) was entitled to the expunction of a DWI after his case had been dismissed pursuant to a pretrial intervention program when he had also been charged with, and ultimately placed on deferred adjudication for, possession of marijuana. Both the possession of marijuana case and the DWI case had been dismissed.
Normally a dismissal pursuant to a pretrial intervention program would entitle you to an expunction. But, if the law was "arrest-based" and you had two charges out of the same arrest (as the petitioner had here), and one of those charges resulted in a deferred adjudication probation order, then even if the deferred case ended up dismissed as well, you would not be entitled to an expunction. However, if the law was "charge-based," then you would be entitled to an expunction for the case that you successfully completed the pretrial intervention program on.
The court did an in-depth statutory analysis and concluded that expunctions based on pretrial intervention dismissals were in fact charged-based and decided the the petitioner was entitled to an expunction. But the court went even further. The court concluded that entire statutory subsection was charge-based for misdemeanors and that there was essentially only a narrow set of expunctions that would be considered arrest-based.
Please visit our expunction eligibility page for an in-depth analysis of the current law. And if you think that you might qualify for an expunction based on this new case law, please book an appointment to speak with us!

Verizon appoints J Crew alum Diego Scotti as new chief marketing officer
Oct 3, 2014 9:55am
Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) has tapped marketing guru Diego Scotti for its newly created chief marketing officer (CMO) role.
Scotti, who will begin in his new position next Monday, will oversee marketing efforts for all of the telco's wireline and wireless business units and oversee all aspects of Verizon's global brand management including advertising, consumer insights, digital marketing, creative development, marketing effectiveness, media and sponsorships, social responsibility and employee communications.
"As I've said before, this is one of the most exciting and dynamic times we've ever seen in our industry," said Lowell McAdam, chairman and CEO, Verizon, in a release. "He brings the traditional and digital marketing expertise that's required to expand our leadership position."
Before coming to Verizon, Scotti most recently served as the CMO for clothing retailer J.Crew. Earlier he worked for several print and digital media brands at Conde Nast and was previously the head of global advertising and brand management at American Express.
Appointing Scotti comes at a time when Verizon is trying to better align its wireline and wireless properties after purchasing the remaining stake it did not own in Verizon Wireless from Vodafone.
Scotti is the latest in various moves the service provider has made to better align its business units. In February, Verizon tapped its former COO of Verizon Wireless Marni Walden to be EVP and president of product and new business innovation, where she now heads up a group that focuses on developing new products and formulating new business models that work across the company's wireless, wireline, cloud and enterprise groups.

The lady Gaga
Suktara GhoshSuktara Ghosh / Updated: Sep 29, 2019, 06:00 IST
(PICS : NILESH WAIRKAR)
For as long as she can remember, Sonia Jain has been an utter failure at sitting still. The 35-year-old has always felt compelled to keep on doing some physical activity. Whether it's playing tennis, swimming, skating, dancing, yoga — you name it, she's done it. And while she dropped tennis because of further studies, she's never stopped dancing or practising yoga.
An expert in Latin American and other contemporary dance forms, the 35-year-old is all set to give the country a taste of Gaga. The 'movement vocabulary' has been developed by Ohad Naharin, the legendary dancer-choreographer and former artistic director of the Tel Aviv-based Batsheva Dance Company (BDC).
Jain, who has been making annual pilgrimages to Tel Aviv to master Gaga since 2016, is bringing Polish dancer-choreographer Gosia Mielech — one of the only 160 certified Gaga instructors in the world — to teach the movement in 10-day workshops in Mumbai's Andheri and Bandra in November, and Bangalore in December. "Gaga is an extremely well-known form followed by the likes of Gal Gadot and Natalie Portman," shares Jain. "Unfortunately, it's barely known here," she adds.
To the uninitiated, Gaga looks like any abstract contemporary dance. But, Jain believes it is much more, and unlike other forms, it offers glimpses of yoga, boxing, ballet and running. It is also constantly being researched and developed by the BDC. "Gaga can't be boxed in as a dance or a workout," explains Jain.
"It's all that and more. The discipline teaches you to listen to the flow of information in your body and work with what it can adapt to. This is why, anyone aged from 18 to 80, including novices, can execute this movement. It's also therapeutic — Gaga has also been seen to have a lot of positive impact on Alzheimer's patients."
She was first introduced to Israel's vibrant movement culture when she watched a show by the Ga'aton-based Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company at Mumbai's NCPA, in 2011. Already a trained dancer from the Terrence Lewis Dance Foundation Scholarship Trust, and proficient in a gamut of contemporary dance forms, Jain was simply blown away by the performance. "It was nothing like I'd ever seen," she says.
"Not even my annual monthlong workshops at Vienna's ImPulsTanz, the world's biggest contemporary dance festival, had such an impact on me. All I wanted to do was to learn how to move like that." Jain applied for a 10-month programme at the Kibbutz without telling a soul, and was finally selected in 2014.
"My parents were really upset that I wanted to be away from my husband and home for so long," she says. "In fact, my mother didn't speak to me for six months. But I just had to do it." Kibbutz, with its community of dancers from all over the world, was a great learning centre for Jain. But she wanted to explore it further, and moved to Jerusalem after five months to train with the Vertigo Dance Company. She lived on her own for the first time, and predictably, struggled. "There was political tension there," she says.
"It's also an expensive place. I struggled to find a place to stay. At one point, I actually didn't have a roof over my head." But it's also there that she discovered Gaga, and moved to Tel Aviv to train with BDC. "Gaga has become a way of life for me, something that helps me connect with myself. It's a source of strength," she says.
Jain also happens to be the country's only certified trapeze yoga artiste, and personally trains many, including filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. "My mum introduced me to yoga when I was a child," she says. "I teach vinyasa, hatha and trapeze yoga — the latter I studied in Barcelona, with the renowned yoga teacher Lucas Rockwood, who pioneered the form. I was the only Indian to train there and get certified, and I've been teaching it for a year now."
But Trapeze is different from aerial yoga, she explains: "Aerial needs some level of expertise, but even beginners can do trapeze. It works on your upper body strength, and is an effective alternative for anyone who doesn't like lifting weights." What makes her classes different, she says, is that it's never just about yoga.
She includes elements of different movement languages including Gaga, to make it about holistic fitness. Her own mantra is to never stop being a student — currently she's been training in parkour with Kishlay Kumar in Mumbai. "I'm always looking to push the limits of my body and learn new movement languages that I can incorporate in my journey," she concludes.

Q: [iOS][Objective-C] Expected type I have a Problem in one of my Objective-C classes.
Xcode said that there is a Parse Issue in line 20.
+ (Boolean)hasOverlay:(KnownPoints*)points byPoint:(CGPoint)p;

KnownPoints is a self written Class. Xcode displays that the error is at the part '(KnownPoints*)points.
The answer of an other similar topic to add this Codeline:
@class KnownPoints

does not work.
The class is called in a calculation class which makes latitudes and longitudes to x and y coordiantes form a view.
Here the Code: (CalcMakerPos.h)
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <MapKit/MapKit.h>
#import "Journey.h"
#import "CoordRect.h"
#import "KnownPoints.h"

@interface CalcMakerPos : NSObject

+ (CGPoint)calcPosFor: (CLLocationCoordinate2D)coord WithDataFrom: (CoordRect*)rect     AtView: (UIView*)view;
+ (Boolean)hasOverlay:(KnownPoints*)points byPoint:(CGPoint)p;
@end

CalcMakerPos.m
#import "CalcMakerPos.h"
#import "MinMaxCoords.h"
#import "Journey.h"
#import "KnownPoints.h"

@implementation CalcMakerPos
#pragma mark Calculate GeoCoords zu Pixeln
+ (CGPoint)calcPosFor: (CLLocationCoordinate2D)coord WithDataFrom: (CoordRect*)rect AtView: (UIView*)view{

     double maxLat = [rect maxLat];
     double minLat = [rect minLat];
     double maxLon = [rect maxLon];
     double minLon = [rect minLon];
     int x = (int)((coord.longitude - minLon) / (maxLon - minLon) * view.frame.size.width);
     int y = (int)((coord.latitude - minLat) / (maxLat - minLat) * view.frame.size.height);
     NSLog(@"Point(%d, %d)", x,y);
     return CGPointMake(x, y);
}

#pragma mark check whether point is free
+ (Boolean)hasOverlay:(KnownPoints*)points byPoint:(CGPoint)p{
    BOOL isOverLay = false;

    return isOverLay;
}
@end

I hope you can help me.
Greetings form Germany
Robybyte

A: This could be caused by circular import statements.
Make sure that CalcMakerPos is not imported or added as @class into KnownPoints.

A: KnownPoints and Journey are being imported twice. Remove the imports from the implementation file because they are redundant.
Clean and build your project after that.
