Erzurum, containing a highly qualified ski resort, is like a haven for winter sport lovers who would like to ski for eight months on steep slopes carpeted by fine snow.
Erzurum, the largest city in eastern Anatolia, is sprawled over a high plateau at an altitude of 1950m. A road running through splendid mountain scenery leads to the winter sports resort of Palandöken, just 6km from Erzurum. It has a number of hotels as well as the longest ski run and the best snow quality in Turkey, thus making it a favourite haunt for expert skiers. It is one of the closest ski resorts to an airport; just five minute drive after your plane lands you can be out on the snow of Palandöken's slopes, where the quality of snow is considered to be on a par with that of the Swiss Alps. Palandöken offers many opportunities to lovers of winter sports and is coated in fine snow that first falls in November and settles till June. Fog, a great danger for skiers, does not descend there. The weather is clear, the slopes are the longest in Turkey and skiing fanatics can marvel at the stunning landscape. It is also an ideal place to forget about stress and pressures of daily life.
The glassy Tortum Lake, 120km from Erzurum towards Artvin and the Black Sea, is perhaps the most tranquil sight in all Turkey. And then drive north of Erzurum to see the Tortum Waterfalls that will definitely put you in a more cheerful mood.
Although the collection in the Archaeological Museum reveals much of the city's history and ancient origins, it is Erzurum's architecture which portrays the city's past the best The city walls and fortress remind that the wind of Byzantine rule once blew over these territories with the fifth-century citadel built by Emperor Theodosius standing on a hill at an altitude of 2000m. Of particular importance are the Seljuk buildings remaining – brilliant examples of a fascinating aestheticism. The Ulu Mosque was built by Melik Nasreddin Mehmet (Mehmet the Red Lion) in 1179; it has an unusual form with seven wide naves. The Çifte Minareli Madrasah, or theological college, built by the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat in 1253 astonishes visitors with elaborate stone carvings on its portal and its majestic double minarets. Behind the Çifte Minareli Madrasah stands the Üç Kümbetler, a group of three tombs, the most notable of which is that of Emir Saltuk. The 13th century Hatuniye Türbesi, a mausoleum, was built for Sultan Alaeddin Keykubat's daughter. The beautiful portal and richly-tiled minaret of the 13th-century Yakutiye Madrasah unravel another facet of Seljuk architecture. You can see Ottoman buildings in Erzurum as well; Sinan the Great Architect left his mark on the city with Lala Mustafa Paşa Mosque. Nearby stands the Atatürk House Museum where Atatürk stayed and held a national congress.
While wandering around the city, drop by Taşhan (Rüstem Pasha Caravanserai) to see the best collection of jewels made of the local black stone called Erzurum Oltu Taşı.

'American Pickers' Star...
'American Pickers' Star Mike Wolfe Responds to Former Co-Star Frank Fritz's Tell-All Interview; Confirms Frank Will Not Come Back to Show
July 23, 2021 by The Ashley
"You better PICK yourself a new job, buddy!"
Mike Wolfe is speaking out following his former friend and American Pickers co-star Frank Fritz's tell-all interview earlier this week.
As The Ashley previously reported, Frank—who mysteriously disappeared from the show in March 2020— gave an explosive interview to The Sun in which he revealed that he and Mike haven't spoken in two years. He also insinuated that Mike— whom he has known for 40 years— has become arrogant as time went on, among other things.
"I don't know why he's behaving like that towards me," Frank told The Sun.
Frank revealed that he would like to return to 'American Pickers,' despite the "controversy going on right now" between him and Mike. However, Mike recently made it clear that Frank will not be coming back to the show.
Mike took to Instagram to give his thoughts on what Frank said, and also to let fans know that Frank's time on 'American Pickers' is over.
A post shared by Mike Wolfe (@mikewolfeamericanpicker)
"I have known Frank for as long as I can remember, he's been like a brother to me," Mike wrote in the caption of a photo showing him, Frank and their co-star Danielle Colbi. "The journey that Frank, Dani and I started back in 2009, like all of life, has come with its highs and lows, blessings and challenges, but it has also been the most rewarding.
"The support that you all have given us has been a constant reminder of what the show's message has always been; thru these places, people, and things we all have a common thread. We're here to not only take care of the past, but also each other. I will miss Frank, just like all of you, and I pray for the very best and all good things for him on the next part of his journey."
Mike's post was flooded with comments from fans, with many of them demanding that Frank be brought back to 'American Pickers.' (Eventually, Mike turned off the comments for the post.)
In his interview, Frank suggested that Mike is trying to get the network to let his brother, Robbie, take over co-hosting duties for Frank. However, a source recently told TMZ that this is not happening, and Mike will remain the solo host of 'American Pickers' for now.
'American Pickers' is currently airing on History Channel.

Very sad. It's a shame they let something come between them. Their friendship I mean, not the show.
Same thing happened in my family. We had a super tight big close-knit family & now it's all split up and broken. I tried to fix it for 3 years but no one else was willing to fix it. It's devastating. So stupid. Life is too short.
Carmen says:
I'd rather watch Fritz than Mike.
Crusty says:
Just like Frank and Mike's relationship, AP has also ran its course. Let it go quietly into the land of syndication.
Thanks for this? says:
Seems like an odd show but slightly interesting story for The Ashley to cover. I would rather see your response to Jenelles insta comments form your last article on her
My name says:
Oh, we have them right here.
"Dude. You don't know. The truth will come out. Y'all hatters are obsessed with me. Gotta go. I'm too sick to be employed."
-Jenelle, probably
She let her man murder her dog, what more do you need to know?

Eastern Michigan University master's program in Clinical Research Administration ranked best in the country
Graduating with a master's degree in research and clinical research management can position you for any number of financially rewarding career paths.
YPSILANTI – The Clinical Research Administration graduate program at Eastern Michigan University has been ranked number one in the nation by a prominent website — the Healthcare Management Degree Guide — that rates health care degrees from various disciplines. Eastern was listed at the top of 25 other American Universities, and was the only program ranked from the state of Michigan.
Professor Stephen Sonstein, program director of the Clinical Research Administration Program at Eastern, says there is an estimated shortage of 10,000 qualified clinical research professionals in the world.
Professor Stephen Sonstein, director of the Clinical Research Administration program at Eastern Michigan University.
"The EMU program in Clinical Research Administration was one of the first academic programs developed in this discipline and is well known and highly regarded globally," Sonstein said. "Since 1996, our graduates have been employed both locally, throughout the U.S. and around the world. We are very proud that EMU's MS Program is ranked number one among the top 25 academic programs in Clinical Research."
Murali Nair, dean of the College of Health and Human Services, said, "I would like to thank the Clinical Research Administration faculty for their unwavering commitment to the program's success."
The Healthcare Management Degree Guide said in its description that "Eastern Michigan University's accredited MS in clinical research might be one of the best programs for working adults who already have an established career in a research facility."
"EMU expects – and then builds on – a certain level of prior education and relevant work experience," the guide noted. "By assuming this baseline of industry knowledge, EMU is able to offer an accelerated program; students can complete all required courses (including the capstone research thesis) in as little as 24 months with part-time enrollment."
The ranking of the program, located in EMU's College of Health and Human Services, was based on information gathered in part from the National Center for Education Statistics and the Consortium of Academic Programs in Clinical Research.
"We then ranked the schools based on expertise and involvement in the field, career training and curricular relevance, accessibility to students, and application of knowledge," said Amanda Ginder, head of online relations for the guide.
Ginder said that Healthcare Management Degree Programs knows that many private companies – as well as government agencies, like the FDA – need clinical researchers and managers to act as watchdogs for the new medicines, treatments, and diagnostic products that are hitting the market every day.
"Graduating with a master's degree in research and clinical research management can position you for any number of financially rewarding career paths, she said. "We strive to provide clear, credible guidance to help students find the best college for them."
See the Healthcare Management Degree Guide website for a list of top programs, including Eastern's No. 1 ranking.
Founded in 1849, Eastern is the second oldest university in Michigan. It currently serves 22,000 students pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 300 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University's Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Jean-Jacques Reboux, né le  à Madré (Mayenne) et mort le  à Auxerre, est un écrivain et éditeur français.

Biographie

Origines
Né en 1958 à Madré (Mayenne), Jean-Jacques Reboux a effectué plusieurs métiers : instituteur, ouvreur de cinéma, employé des Chèques Postaux, animateur d'ateliers d'écriture, éditeur.

Avant de se consacrer au polar, il a publié plusieurs recueils de poésie. Il a dirigé à Caen la revue de poésie La Foire à bras (1980-1984).

Éditeur et écrivain
En 1992, il fonde les éditions Canaille afin de publier ses livres refusés par les éditeurs : Pain perdu chez les vilains ou Fondu au noir. Avec l'appui de Jean-Bernard Pouy, Reboux devient éditeur de polars d'autres auteurs. En 1995, les éditions Canaille sont rachetées par les éditions Baleine où il dirige la collection Canaille/Revolver. Il publie les trois premiers romans de Yasmina Khadra et Haka, de Caryl Férey.

Avec Le massacre des innocents (1995), il connaît en tant qu'écrivain un succès d'estime. Ce roman est couronné en 1996 du trophée 813 du meilleur roman francophone.

Il signe trois aventures du Poulpe, La cerise sur le gâteux (1996), Parkinson le glas (2002) et Castro c'est trop ! (2004).

Renouant avec le roman-feuilleton, il crée en 2000 le premier feuilleton du  (Les aventures extraordinaires de Moulard). Il l'inaugure avec Pour l'amour de Pénélope (2000). Les autres épisodes de ce feuilleton rocambolesque sont les suivants : Le pied dans la citrouille d'Yves Bulteau, 2000 ; Pas de caviar pour Moulard de Catherine Fradier ; Salade de rotules de Laurent Fétis ; L'art du mou d'Élise Fugler, les six volumes (sur 22 prévus) ayant été édités aux éditions de l'Aube en 2000.

Éditeur engagé
En 2006, il se relance dans l'édition en fondant les éditions Après la Lune, dont il assure la direction littéraire, en collaboration avec Christine Beigel, responsable des publications pour la jeunesse, et Yasmina Khadra, qui y dirige la collection de littérature algérienne « Bel horizon ».

En tant qu'éditeur des éditions Après la Lune, il est attaqué en justice par l'Opus Dei pour le roman Camino 999 de Catherine Fradier en  : l'Opus Dei réclame 30 000 € de dommages et intérêts, 5 000 € au titre de l'article 700 du nouveau code pénal, ainsi que la publication d'un communiqué, dans un journal choisi par le plaignant, dans la limite de 15 000 €. L'Opus Dei est finalement débouté.

Poursuivi en justice en 2011 par la même Catherine Fradier, pour un différend financier mineur, il fut à l'époque soutenu par plusieurs dizaines de confrères écrivains, éditeurs.

Après avoir publié 65 ouvrages (polars, livres pour la jeunesse, pamphlets), la maison d'édition cessa ses activités en 2013, avant de les reprendre en 2019 en publiant les romans de Kits Hilaire.

L'épisode Fernand Buron
En 2008, Jean-Jacques Reboux s'est illustré en se faisant passer pour le citoyen du salon de l'agriculture à qui Nicolas Sarkozy a dit « Casse-toi pov' con! » en créant le personnage de Fernand Buron. Ce canular lui valut d'être mis en garde à vue pour offense au président de la République, après avoir brandi une pancarte « Casse-toi pov'con ! »  devant le palais de l'Élysée, le , jour de l'anniversaire du président de la République française. L'affaire fut classée sans suite par le Procureur de la République.

Engagement à gauche
S'il affirme ne pas être un militant politique, Jean-Jacques Reboux est marqué par un engagement à gauche et des sympathies avec la mouvance anarchiste. Il dit à ce sujet : « Je n'ai jamais milité dans aucun parti, aucune association… J'ai juste participé à de nombreuses manifestations, comme tout le monde ! Mon seul vrai acte de "militance" : le parrainage d'un sans-papiers marocain au moment des lois Debré ».

En 1996, il dédiait La cerise sur le gâteux à Ibrahim Ali, Brahim Bouarram et Imad Bouhoud, victimes de skinheads d'extrême droite en marge de l'activité du Front national.

En , Jean-Jacques Reboux est arrêté par la police à la suite de la contestation d'un PV. Il est poursuivi par l'un d'eux pour « outrage », condamné à 150 euros avec sursis par la justice en . Il écrit une Lettre ouverte à Nicolas Sarkozy, ministre des libertés policières (2006). À la suite de sa rencontre avec Romain Dunand, militant de Réseau éducation sans frontière et de la CNT, ils écrivent une Lettre au garde des sceaux pour la dépénalisation du délit d'outrage (2008). Il est à l'origine de la fondation du Collectif pour une dépénalisation du délit d'outrage (Codedo) en .

Entre 2008 et 2010, il a publié plusieurs articles sur le site Internet Rue89 sous le pseudonyme « outrageur de poulets », sur le thème du délit d'outrage.

En 2013, il publie sur son blog un article sur ses démêlés avec l'écrivain algérien Yasmina Khadra, de plus en plus controversé dans la communauté algérienne, intitulé Comment je me suis fait entuber par Yasmina Khadra.

Il couvre pour L'Humanité le procès de Henri Guaino, poursuivi le  pour outrage par le juge Jean-Michel Gentil.

A FORMER Renton man walked out of court this week with a "gold star" from a sheriff.
Mark Fleming, 34, formerly of Stirling Street, appeared in the dock for sentencing after admitting possession of cocaine and obstructing police by attempting to swallow a quantity of cannabis resin, both in 2016.
He had been given the opportunity of a deferred sentence and last week he was back in court, where Sheriff Maxwell Hendry was told that he had stayed out of further trouble.
A supplementary background report was tabled by Fleming's solicitor, Roddy Boag, who called it "a cracker".
Sheriff Hendry told Fleming: "It's a superb report, one of the best, if not the best I have ever seen. I am not one who believes in the 'road to Damascus', but you have proved me wrong.
Fleming, now of Montrose Street, Clydebank, couldn't hide his emotions as he stood in the dock and smiled proudly back.
He was admonished and dismissed.

Q: How to escape a sql query string with php to store it in a mysql table I am trying to store a sql query string in a MySQL field, and I am having problems correctly escaping the string.
If I insert the following string into the sql varchar field of the test table, using phpMyAdmin:
INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`='{$_POST['sql']}'

and then export it using phpMyAdmin, it gives me the following sql query:
INSERT INTO  `test`.`test` (`sql`)
VALUES ('INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`=''{$_POST[''sql'']}''');

If I want my own php script to do this, with what function do I escape:
INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`='{$_POST['sql']}'

to make it look like:
'INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`=''{$_POST[''sql'']}'''

I have a large number of sql queries I need to store for retrieval.
What is phpMyAdmin doing to the original string to create:
INSERT INTO  `test`.`test` (`sql`)
VALUES ('INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`=''{$_POST[''sql'']}''');

What is the function xyz where:
$a = "INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`='{$_POST['sql']}'";
$b = "INSERT INTO  `test`.`test` (`sql`)
VALUES ('INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`=''{$_POST[''sql'']}''')";
$b = xyz($a);

A: You need mysql_real_escape_string():
$sql = "INSERT INTO `test` SET `test`.`sql`='" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['sql']) . "'";

A: If you don't need to read the code inside the database (e.g. access it via phpMyAdmin and copy&paste the code) but only use PHP to do that, you could encode it using a base64 system.
For encoding (storing in the database)
base64_encode($your_query);

For decoding (retrieving from the database)
base64_decode($your_result);

Assuming that you have all the queries in a single file that does not contain anything different, you could try this approach
$queryString = file_get_contents("queries.sql"); //reads the file and stores it as a single String
$queries = explode(';', $queryString);
foreach ($queries as $query)
  mysql_query( ... $query ... ); //Store each query in the database

We often hide our emotions, incorrectly express them, or doubt if we can express them properly.
For developing skills in articulating emotions, join the Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Training Course delivered by pdtraining in Boston, Baltimore and other cities in the U.S.
"You take me for granted" sounds like an attack, whereas, "We must spend some quality time together – I feel less involved in your life" sounds more practical and sensible. Choosing to say positive words has a positive impact on the other person, and visa versa.
Before you express your emotions, give yourself time to see if your emotions are a reaction that will pass with time, or will stay and disturb you for a long time. In either case, you can express how you are feeling to the other person, but you must also express the temporariness or the permanence of the emotion.
An angry reaction to your colleague using your computer in your absence is temporary if it does not happen regularly. You can alter your attitude, create a password for your computer, or gently tell the person that it disturbs you. On the other hand, your colleague's intentionally using your computer in your absence to make you angry is a more serious problem. Here, you need to tell the person firmly to stop doing it, and also inform him/her of the action you will take if the issue persists. When your emotions are deeply involved, it is advisable to express them and let the other person(s) know exactly how their behavior is impacting you.
When you are deciding to articulate your emotions, you must not only think about your own feelings, but also how expressing them will impact the other person(s). Communicating your feelings may cause them to worry, make them treat you differently, may develop positivity and intimacy, may make them angry, etc. Depending on what kind of a reaction the other person may have on the communication, you may choose your reaction in advance. It will help you to manage the conversation better and achieve the desired outcome.
After you communicate how you feel to another person(s), it may change your relationship with them, for better or worse. Having a clear idea of how you want the relationship to be will help you to tweak your communication accordingly. With some people, you may want only a professional relationship, a friendly yet somewhat reserved relationship, or an intimate relationship. Depending on the level of closeness you want or can expect, you may choose to disclose only the amount of emotions that is required.

Biden Mandates That All Federal Employees Get Vaccinated
After saying he wouldn't mandate the vaccine when he was running for president, Joe Biden has decided that all federal employees must get vaccinated in 75 days.

Washington Bureau Chief
Updated Sep. 09, 2021 7:53PM ET / Published Sep. 09, 2021 3:30PM ET

Before taking office, President Joe Biden said he would not support vaccine mandates to combat the coronavirus pandemic, and would instead use the power of his office to "encourage people to do the right thing."
But as the highly contagious delta variant of the coronavirus pushes the nation's case rate to its highest levels since last winter—due in large part to a sizeable minority of the country refusing to "do the right thing"—Biden has issued the most comprehensive mandate for vaccination against the virus to date: all federal employees must be fully vaccinated within 75 days, with no carve-outs for testing of those who refuse to get the vaccine. The executive order signed on Thursday morning extends the requirements to all employees of the executive branch, as well as contractors working with the federal government.
"The time for waiting is over," Biden said, noting the August approval of the Pfizer/ BioNTech vaccine by the Food and Drug Administration. "This is not about freedom or personal choice. It's about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love."
Biden's address on Thursday was the 17th of his presidency dedicated to the government's COVID-19 response and vaccination program, according to a review of his past remarks—one of which, two months ago, celebrated America's imminent independence from a pandemic that has since killed nearly 50,000 Americans.
"If you want to work for the federal government, you must be vaccinated," a senior administration official told reporters in an embargoed briefing ahead of the president's remarks. "If you want to do business with the federal government, you must vaccinate your workforce."
Beyond the executive order, Biden announced a series of strict rules intended to make it harder for people to return to a normal life while dodging vaccination. Those include a rule being drafted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), requiring employers with more than 100 employees to require employees either be fully vaccinated or produce weekly negative tests—a rule that would theoretically expand vaccine requirements to more than 80 million private sector workers.
"Some of the biggest companies are already requiring this. United Airlines, Disney, Tyson's Food, and even Fox News," Biden said. "The bottom line: We're going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers. We're going to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by increasing the share of the workforce that is vaccinated in businesses all across America."
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will issue a similar requirement requiring workers in nearly all health care facilities that receive Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement—from hospitals to dialysis facilities— to be fully vaccinated. The rule will affect some 50,000 facilities and more than 17 million workers.
The stick-over-carrot approach will even extend to the skies, with the Transportation Safety Administration now doubling fines for travelers who refuse to mask aboard a commercial airplane.
All told, the efforts will extend vaccination requirements to nearly 100 million Americans, Biden said.
He also stressed the importance of keeping schools open and pleaded with parents with children 12 and older, who are eligible for the vaccine, to allow them to get the shot, and called on governors to provide COVID vaccines for students and staff. To parents whose children are not yet vaccinated, he urged patience.
"I strongly support independent scientific review for vaccine uses for children under 12," he said. " We can't take shortcuts to scientific work, but I've made it clear I will do everything within my power to support the FDA with any resource that it needs to continue to do this as safely and as quickly as possible."
Biden took an aggressive posture toward Republican governors who have barred localities from making decisions about masking in school and pledged to "take on elected officials and states that are undermining" efforts to ensure children are protected from COVID-19 while in school.
"Right now, local school officials are trying to keep children safe, and a pandemic, while their governor picks a fight with them, and even threatens their salaries, other jobs," Biden said. "If these governors won't help us beat the pandemic. I'll use my powers as president to get them out of the way."
"The Department of Education has already begun to take legal action against states undermining protection local school officials have ordered, " Biden said. " Any teacher or school official whose pay has been held for doing the right thing, we will have that pay restored by the federal government 100 percent. I promise you, I will have your back."
The rules reflect the president's 180-degree shift on the notion of mandating vaccinations over the course of his nine-month presidency. After his election, Biden told reporters that he "wouldn't demand it to be mandatory" when it came to vaccines.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters ahead of that briefing that the changing approach to vaccine mandates has been necessitated by "a smart virus" that has continued to produce variants that can spread quickly and efficiently, as well as by Americans who have refused to get vaccinated against the virus.
"The reason we're here is because people have not gotten vaccinated—eighty million of them," Psaki told reporters, later adding that while employers would now be empowered to potentially fire workers who refuse to get vaccinated without a religious or medical exemption, "hopefully it doesn't come to that."
The Biden administration has defended its changing approach to the pandemic, from back-and-forth guidances on public masking to the slow rollout of vaccine mandates for federal workers, contractors, public servants, and even White House staff, noting that as the scientific understanding of the virus has changed, so too has the government response.
But public health experts have grown increasingly frustrated by an incrementalist approach that seems, at least occasionally, to be more mindful of the politics of the pandemic than of public health. Particularly as some state and local leaders have filled the vacuum with anti-vaccine messaging and a refusal to implement some bare-bones guidances on masks and vaccinations, the shifting response has experts warning of "pandemic fatigue."
"Unfortunately, due to delta, we'll probably go back to some of these blunt instruments," said Dr. Arnold Monto, a professor of epidemiology and global health at the University of Michigan and a former adviser to the World Health Organization. "My colleagues who are now on the advisory committee seem to be pushing the most concrete rules except lockdowns. With pandemic fatigue and everything, it may be necessary."

Q: Is there a new package to make Tufte style books? I really like the look of tufte books.
But it seems like the tufte-latex package is largely unmaintained,
(Repo not touched in >1 year, long open PRs and issues)
and not supporting things like LuaTeX.
I'm particularly liking the wide margins, used for sidenotes, diagrams, and bibliography.
Is there another package that provides these?


You knew President Obama would cave on the Bush tax cuts when he first started saying that a deal was going to be made. In a brinkmanship fight, the most important weapon is the willingness to allow failure, or at least credibly threaten to do so.
Some conservative Republicans have urged their GOP colleagues to resist raising the ceiling -- which currently clocks in at $14.3 trillion -- under any circumstances. Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota is collecting signatures on her PAC's website "to force our elected officials to stop spending cold turkey," and Sen. Jim DeMint of South Carolina has advocated for a "big showdown" with Democrats by blocking the raise.
But House Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan says that tactic isn't viable. "Just refusing to vote for it, I don't think that's really a strategy," he said, noting that a failure to raise the ceiling could result in the nation defaulting on its debts to investors.
"Will the debt ceiling be raised? Does it have to be raised? Yes," he said at an event sponsored by economics21 and the Manhattan Institute at the National Press Club Thursday.
But Ryan suggested that Republicans can tweak some specifics of the move - how many years the increase covers, for example. And, more importantly, they can tack on requirements for deep spending cuts as a condition of passage. "I want to make sure we get substantial spending cuts and controls in exchange for raising the debt ceiling," he said.
At the end, Ryan says Republicans should attach some conditions about spending cuts. But once you've conceded that the limit is going to be raised, your ability to extract concessions is gone. My guess is that Republicans are hearing from the business lobby that even risking a default would be totally unacceptable.


An unexpectedly strong uptick in the UK consumer price index set the GBP TRY exchange rate on a bullish run, putting increased pressure on the Bank of England (BoE) to consider raising interest rates. As the BoE did then opt to take a more hawkish view in the meeting minutes released on Thursday this encouraged the Pound to extend its gains further.
The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) left interest rates on hold at its September policy meeting, meanwhile, in line with market expectations. Policymakers expressed confidence in the Turkish economy, noting that the recovery has gained strength thanks to a combination of domestic and external demand.
Even so, the CBRT still highlighted the persistent risk that high inflation poses to the domestic economy. With monetary policy likely to remain tight for the foreseeable future the appeal of the Lira remained somewhat limited, especially in the absence of any wider market demand for risk-sensitive currencies.
A widening of the Turkish current account deficit also put pressure on the Lira ahead of the weekend, undermining confidence in the strength of the domestic economy. As Turkey struggles to reduce its deficit this limits the upside potential of TRY exchange rates, suggesting that the country remains vulnerable to any deterioration in trade conditions.
Political tensions put downside pressure on the Lira on Tuesday as the Turkish military carried out exercises near the border with Iraq. Jitters have continued to mount even after Iraq's supreme court ordered the suspension of next week's planned referendum on the independence of Iraqi Kurdistan, with markets still wary of the potential for violence.
Any escalation in tensions within the region are likely to boost the GBP TRY exchange rate, even if the impact on Turkey itself proves to be minimal. Thus, even if worries over North Korea continue to ease this is unlikely to particularly bolster the appeal of the Lira, at least in the short term.
Brexit has continued to dominate the outlook of the Pound, on the other hand, as a fresh row broke out in response to comments from Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. With the Cabinet still seeming to lack a unified approach to Brexit this naturally raised concerns over the likely outcome of negotiations.
Further volatility is likely in response to Theresa May's latest speech on the subject, with the Prime Minister due to speak in Florence on Friday. Unless May shows some softening of her stance towards negotiations then fears of a hard Brexit could continue to mount, denting the GBP TRY exchange rate in the process.
Wednesday's UK retail sales data could also provoke jitters for Sterling, with forecasts pointing towards a stagnation in sales on the month. Given the significant role that consumers play in domestic economic growth any weakness here is likely to reduce the chances of the BoE actually following through with an interest rate hike before the end of the year.

Cirque Italia to return to Civic Center
Jake Grove
jake.grove@independentmail.com
The traditional circus is one of those things that has been around so long that people have become numb to the amazing feats and spectacle of it all. But what if you could see those same amazing feats done over, under and in water? That would be something to behold.
Last year, Anderson saw a show like that for the first time when Cirque Italia came to town bringing with it contortionists, clowns, acrobats and more. But what made it different was the use of massive water tanks and fountains that mesmerized audiences.
Cirque Italia is an event unique in its, well, uniqueness. Think of it like a cross between Cirque de Soliel and white water rafting and then multiply that by 10. It's a circus, but without the animals. It's a stunt show, but without the ground.
It's a water show, but with a high-flying atmosphere that will make you wonder how you never saw anything like this before.
"Basically, I wanted to design something different that nobody has tried to do," said Cirque Italia creator Manuel Rebecchi. "It's a beautiful theater that happens to be in water with performers doing things that nobody expects."
Rebecchi's aunt, Moira Orfei, is the owner and soul of the most famous circus in Italy. Rebecchi is the founder of no fewer than seven corporations in the United States. But when he found himself at American circuses over the years, he saw the same thing time and time again.
"Everything was animals, animals, animals," Rebecchi said. "Today's youth doesn't want animals anymore. They have something in their hands all the time and they want to see something unique and different that they can't find on the Internet in two seconds."
Thus Cirque Italia was born about three years ago. The idea was to provide a unique travelling performance that would engage young people while fascinating the entire family. What better way to do that, Rebecchi thought, than through water, death-defying acts, laser light shows and more.
Cirque Italia travels all over the United States setting up a massive tent that can fit thousands of people. The tent houses a pool of water that holds 35,000 gallons and provides the kind of performance you would find in elaborate theaters like the Peace Center. There still are clowns, but Rebecchi said the animators are his clowns offering an amazing display of humor and gasp-enducing images throughout the show.
Then, there is the LaserMan show featuring optical illusions and hypnotism that will captivate any and all in the audience. From there you can enjoy a beautiful singing performance while the singer stacks chair upon chair above the large pool. Or look to the sky as the Aerial Divas soar above the gathered crowds and perform as beautiful birds of paradise.
There will also be a death-defying JETSKI show that is new for Anderson audiences this year. For children, mermaids appear and bring the shooting fountains with them while juggling acts, aerial acts and high-flying pole acts appear from every corner of the tent throughout the two-hour show.
"I think it is time to leave (the animals) in the jungle and get something unique," Rebecchi said. "This is like a Hollywood movie that we put under the big top."
Cirque Italia has been traveling to places such as Chicago, New York and Los Angeles for the past four years. But it also knows there are cities like Anderson that have people looking for something to do and something more from their entertainment options.
Rebecchi said last year's event at the Anderson Civic Center was a success and that is one of the reasons to bring it back again. Performances are set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2:30, 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Ticket prices for the shows vary from $50 for the main floor to $10 and $20 for tickets in levels 2 and 3. For adults buying tickets in levels 2 and 3, Cirque Italia is offering free tickets for anyone ages 12 and younger.
"All the time people come from the tent and say, 'I never expected this.' " he said. "They don't expect the talent, the professionalism, the huge tent and the amazing detail inside. The kids love the mermaids and the parents love the light show, and it's just a great experience."
Tickets are available at www.cirqueitalia.com or by calling 941.704.8572. The group also responds to text messages for questions or purchases. The show will be under the large white and blue tent at the parking lot of the Civic Center of Anderson, 3027 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Anderson.
What: Cirque Italia water circus
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 2:30, 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday, 2:30 and 5:30 p.m. Sunday

YBN Cordae may be riding high off his inclusion in XXL magazine's esteemed Freshman Class, but it's not like he doesn't know what it's like to be down and out. "The Lost Boy represents anyone who hasn't found their path or their calling yet," he tells Apple Music of his debut album. "That's kind of where I was at a point in my life, just lost." He could be talking about his time as a struggling college student (during which he also held a job at a fast-casual restaurant), but ever since he released "Old N*ggas," a seething open-letter response track to J. Cole's "1985," life for the Maryland-raised MC has meant an increasingly large crowd patiently awaiting his next verse.
With The Lost Boy, YBN Cordae's mission is twofold: to tell the story of his own rise to purpose, complete with details of familial hurdles ("Family Matters"), the pressures facing his generation specifically ("Thousand Words"), and the power of perseverance ("Way Back Home")—and to do so as cleverly as possible. Guests include MCs with a similar appreciation for complex wordplay (Chance the Rapper, Meek Mill, Pusha T), and there's even a track ("RNP") produced by J. Cole himself, a onetime foil turned ally. If there's anything lost in the vision of YBN Cordae's first album, it's just how far the MC will go.

Improving the aerodynamic efficiency of small wind turbines
Alternative energy sources have been the topic of strong deliberation across the world for quite some years now. The world dreads the day when traditionally known sources of energy would no longer support the surging demands of modern human needs. Developing means of efficiently extracting energy from alternative sources then, assumes critical importance; for example, energy generation from small wind turbines, that could cater to the energy needs of stand-alone, off grid units. Research being conducted by Jasvipul S Chawla at the IITB-Monash Research Academy in Mumbai will enable small wind turbines to become a dependable, alternative source of energy in areas where easy access to electricity is still a pipe dream.
Jasvipul Chawla's research focuses specifically on improving the aerodynamic efficiency of small wind turbines, which will increase the overall power output of these turbines. Small wind turbines have so far been comparatively less efficient than large wind turbines because they lack aerodynamic efficiency. In other words, the blades of small wind turbines are inherently unsuited to extracting energy out of low wind speeds. They are usually installed close to the site of energy consumption. These areas often have a lower wind potential than the areas where larger, commercial wind turbines are installed. However, during his research, Jasvipul Chawla found that when suction based flow control is applied to the blades, the output can be increased by 600Watts for a 1 KW range turbine operating in low and medium wind speeds. The flow control process itself requires less than 100W of power, as research results from 'Wind Tunnel' tests showed.
The rising prices of natural fuel and electricity have been a cause for concern across urban India, with no respite in sight till feasible alternative forms of energy are developed. On the flipside, in the rural areas, more than 33% of the villages do not even have access to electricity yet. Adding to this concern is the persistent hike in global warming and carbon footprint statistics. In this gloomy scenario, renewable energy, such as is derived from small wind turbines, beams in like a new ray of hope.
The idea of small wind turbines as a viable, alternative source of energy is still in its nascent stages in India; whereas large wind turbines have already been used extensively. Small wind turbine technology can be used as a socio-economically valuable, energy-generating resource in developing countries like India because it promotes independent energy generation, develops partner/ support industries, cultivates multiple energy generation avenues and fosters national energy security.
The small wind turbine market is currently, still virgin territory in developing countries like India. However, ground realities such as absolute inaccessibility of electricity in many rural areas, high setup and maintenance cost of large wind turbines and lack of pocket-and-environment-friendly alternative sources of energy, will soon encourage, with a little push from the government, a rush towards off-grid small wind turbine technology by rural and small community users.
Jasvipul Chawla's research once completed, will pave the way for a variety of potential places where small wind turbines can be used either as stand-alone systems or as hybrid systems in conjunction with other energy sources. It could throw open a plethora of possibilities for the scientific community by its exploration of increasing efficiency of airfoils at low wind speeds, thus contributing to aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, flow control and automatic control areas. The rural market could be the largest consumer of small wind turbine technology; especially locations that are too remote for traditional power grid extension.
Commenting on his stint with the IITB-Monash Research Academy, Jasvipul says "Research wise, it's good to collaborate with another university. You get varied technical exposure along with being able to spend time with different groups of people, which fosters international research collaboration. It's even more meaningful when India and Australia face similar social and technical challenges, which differ from those faced by the US and Europe, where contemporary research happens."
Established in 2008, IITB-Monash Research Academy is an important collaboration between Australia and India. It offers graduate research scholars the opportunity to study for a dually-badged PhD from both IIT Bombay in India and Monash University in Australia, spending time in both countries over the course of their research.

'Scream' To Take On 'Spider-Man' Over MLK Weekend
January 13, 2022 13:29 PST - By Sam Mendelsohn - Box Office News
After four weeks of total dominance at the box office, Spider-Man: No Way Home finally faces some solid competition from the legacy slasher franchise Scream. Scream, the fifth installment in Wes Craven's self-aware horror series, is the biggest new release of the month now that Morbius has vacated its late January release date, and it will likely topple Spider-Man's winning streak. That is not to say it won't be another big weekend for No Way Home, though, which by Friday should become the fifth biggest domestic grosser ever and by next weekend should hit the number four spot.
Paramount is keeping Scream theatrical exclusive as they launch it into 3,661 domestic locations. The sequel/reboot features a new creative team taking over after Craven's passing, with Ready or Not directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett helming a script by James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick while the original Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson (also responsible for Scream 2 and Scream 4) is on board as executive producer. The core original cast is back, though, as Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox reprise their roles along with Roger L. Jackson as the voice of Ghostface and some other familiar faces from the earlier films. The new cast of teenagers being terrorized includes Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Mikey Madison, Dylan Minnette, Jenna Ortega, Jack Quaid, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sonia Ammar. The reviews suggest a playful and meta return to form for the series, and at 77% on Rotten Tomatoes it is the best reviewed installment since Scream 2.
Scream is releasing 11 years after the previous installment Scream 4, which was a box office disappointment compared to the rest of the series. The original 1996 Scream was a surprise smash, going from its $6.4 million opening to a $103 million domestic close and a worldwide cume of $173 million. Scream 2, which released just a year later, opened much bigger with $32.9 million but finished with roughly the same gross. Scream 3, from 2000, fell slightly to $89.1 million domestically while its foreign gross held steady. The fourth film took a huge dive, grossing just $38.1 million domestically and $59 million overseas.
The new Scream is looking to return to the successes of the earlier films as it launches day and date in most of its international markets, and it should benefit in many parts of the U.S. from MLK Day on Monday. Beating Scream 4's $18.7 million opening is a solid bet, though whether it can get in the $30+ million range of the other sequels is an open question. Either way, it will probably knock Spider-Man off the top slot for the weekend, though things could get heated in next weekend's rematch if the MCU juggernaut continues with its strong holds and Scream has a large second weekend drop that is typical of horror sequels.
Another notable release this weekend is the Japanese animated film Belle from GKIDS. Belle, which premiered at Cannes, is a modern sci-fi/fantasy riff on Beauty and the Beast and it has met rave reviews with 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. The anime was Japan's third highest grosser of 2021 with $58.3 million, and it comes from director Mamoru Hosoda, known for the 2018 film Mirai. Mirai, which grossed $812k domestically, became the first anime outside of the Studio Ghibli stable to get an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. Belle is releasing on 1,300 screens including select IMAX locations, and it is getting both a subtitled and dubbed release, with Chace Crawford, Manny Jacinto, Hunter Schafer and Kylie McNeill contributing to the English dub.
The Matrix Resurrections is getting a release in China this weekend, a rarity for a Hollywood film these days. The fourth Matrix is among the past year's biggest box office disappointments, and China is the last major market for it to release in, potentially bringing some relief to the expensive sequel which is only at $125 million worldwide thus far. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: No Way Home keeps swinging higher and higher even without China in play. Currently the eighth highest grossing film of all time worldwide, it is slated to move up to number six in the weeks ahead.

First-Generation Student: Ethiopine Choping
With the end of the semester rolling around, graduation is so close- yet, so far away. Being a first-generation student can make graduation seem so out of reach. As an honors student, Sudanese refugee and civil engineer, Ethiopine Choping demonstrates the determination needed to overcome the challenges of being a first-generation student.
Ethiopine Choping
Choping said, "[Being first-generation] makes everything really hard. Only because you don't have that person to ask who can give you immediate answers. Being a first-generation student, you don't have that much college guidance. I come from a family of immigrants so I'm the first person the finish high school, go to college, so there isn't anybody in my family that can give me guidance on how to approach college or how to get scholarships, things like that," said Choping.
She said that she will be the first female in her family to finish high school, go into civil engineering and graduate college.
"[Finishing college] is a lot of pressure to get it done, but it's a journey where you have to pace yourself. I'm really excited…. It all pays off, even though it's crazy," said Choping.
Being the first to do something can be really stressful without guidance, but Choping has used Vol State's TRIO program to stay successful in school.
"I'm in the TRIO program, and the ladies there are just wonderful," said Choping, "They're like a home away from home. They have all that college experience, so they can kind of guide me along the way."
Outside of TRIO, Choping is one of the only civil engineering students she knows, and said she doesn't have the same kind of support groups that other students have.
"It would still be nice to get that support, even though there's not a super huge civil engineering group," said Choping.
While the life of a first-generation student may seem a little lonely and challenging, it doesn't have to be. There are people and programs at Vol State that can help.
"Communicating with everyone just helps a lot," said Choping, "If you think you have a 'bad professor,' communicating with them can normally change your mind."
Any first-generation students interested in college support should check out Vol State's TRIO program for more information about the success services they offer.

Vol State Weather Delay and Closing Guidelines
This a reminder of the Vol State weather delay and closing guidelines. We put this out at the start of each winter weather season.
Weather notices from Vol State can call for a delay of classes or a closing of a campus. It is always specific to the campus, so what happens in Gallatin may be different from Livingston, Cookeville-CHEC, or Springfield.
-A delay means that classes start at that hour. For example- If we say delayed opening at 9:30am that means only classes that would be meeting at 9:30am or later will be meeting. Classes before that are canceled. Some classes last for several hours. Those classes will start at the opening time.
-Labs are handled differently for a delay. Students should check the eLearn page for each lab to see what the instructor had decided. If campus is closed, there are no classes or labs.
- Vol State closings are not based on public school closings. You'll find that the College doesn't close or have class delays nearly as often as the high schools, primarily due to the fact that we don't have buses to consider.
-If the roads are dangerous in your area you have the right to decide if you want to attend class or not. If you can't attend let your instructor know so that you can make up work.
-If there is a delay or cancelation students should check their eLearn web page for each canceled class to receive updated assignment info from instructors.
-Students will automatically receive text alerts with closing or delay info if they have a current cell phone listed in My Vol State.
-The website will always be updated on the front page if there is a delay or cancelation: www.volstate.edu
-You can also monitor our primary Facebook page: www.facebook.com/volstate
If you don't receive a text use the website to double check. Any weather statement from the college will appear at the top of the home page.
We do send notices about delays and cancellations to the Nashville TV stations. However, TV stations should be a last resort to view closings. It sometimes takes an hour for the Vol State listings to come up on the screen due to the number of closings. The times the TV stations give us to choose from often don't match our class times, so we have to approximate.
First-Generation Student: LaBryian Scharklett
Older siblings are normally the first to do things in a family with children, and they can set the standard for their younger siblings. As a first-generation student and the oldest of 10 children, civil engineering major LaBryian Scharklett is setting a collegiate example for his family.
While his dad has no college experience, his mom actually has some. She briefly went to college after he was born, but was later convinced her to drop out and focus on taking care of her child.
LaBryian Scharklett
"From seeing [my parents] lives, and how not going to school turned out for them, it gives me the drive to want to go to school and see what it's like on the other side," said Scharklett.
He says since neither of his parents went to college, they don't always understand or appreciate the work it takes to succeed in school.
"When I tell my parents- either one- things I accomplish in college, they're not very appreciative or don't reward me like how I would expect they should. No, 'I'm proud of you,' or things like that because they don't know what it is that I say. A student hearing that they're doing well can really help, change or influence them to do better in school," said Scharklett.
As pessimistic as it may seem, that's just the reality for some first-generation students. Having parents that went to college is an advantage.
"Kids whose parents went to college have role models, and they already have a road paved to where they need to go, but we have to pave our own road…. Some students just have that perk of having parents who already know what college is like," said Scharklett.
Although his parents may not be able to guide him, the TRIO program at Vol State has supported him through school.
"Not having all that stuff for some reason just makes me want to try harder. It's almost as if I can't fail. I can't afford to fail college. Some students have wealthy parents and inherit things, but I have nothing. If I fail this, there's nothing else I can go to," said Scharklett.
Scharklett is now mentoring at TRIO, and says he is looking forward to graduation and planning to attend Tennessee Tech University.
"[TRIO] has treated me very, very well. I don't think I would be where I am without them They've helped with registration, planning classes, support, work study, all of that stuff," said Scharklett.
To show appreciation for first-generation college students, come to the First-Generation Vol State Celebration events planned throughout the week.

Beehive Queen Christine Ohlman performs at The Kate
OLD SAYBROOK – Talk about tirelessly.
This October alone, Christine Ohlman, who will take the stage at The Kate on Saturday, November 26 with Rebel Montez, returned to Saturday Night Live as lead singer for her band, a gig she has had since 1991, as an SNL Creator Lorne Michael witnessed her performances and hired her on the spot.
A few days later, she lent her syrupy contralto voice to blues legend James Montgomery at Tupelo Music Hall in New Hampshire. And the next week, she hosted the 2022 induction into the New England Music Hall of Fame in Westerly, Rhode Island.
That was in addition to hosting the Casey Cares Rock & Roll Bash in Baltimore, a charity event for children with catastrophic illnesses, and headlining Women's Voices 5, a performance show raising money for a girls' rock 'n' roll camp should Goschen, Mass.
"Christine never stops and she never stops caring," said sin sister Kathy Kessler, who will join Ohlman as guest singers along with Patti Rahl and Janice Ingarra. She is joined by Rebel Montez, including Michael Colbath on bass, acclaimed Boston guitarist Cliff Goodwin, and Lorne Entress, recently from touring with Mary Chapin Carpenter.
As for her relentless pace, Ohlman, a National Blues Hall of Famer, had an easy diagnosis.
"Coming out of the pandemic doldrums," said the Beehive Queen, as she is known, for her revamped platinum trophy honoring Ronnette Ronnie Spector, who died in January; Ohlman hosted Spector's Life Celebration in New York earlier this year, sharing the stage with the likes of Keith Richard, Dionne Warwick and Paul Shaffer.
"For performing artists who thrive on the live interactions between them and the audience, it was unbearable," she said. "Every artist I've spoken to has been totally destabilized, totally lost."
But the pandemic doesn't fully explain it. Because actually, she's always been like this, she said, since she was 16 and recorded a version of The Blues Project's "Wake Me, Shake Me" with New Haven band The Wrongh (sic) Black Bag for Bob Shad by Mainstream Records.
Pressing her seemingly indefatigable energy further, her reply was direct.
"Live a happy life, hold no grudges, sleep well and drink plenty of water," she said.
And also, it seems, returning to the coast – The Kate in particular.
"This is coming home," she said. "Here I charge."
Home are the Sin Sisters, whom Ohlman has dubbed "my singing soul sisters."
The Hiveheads are at home too.
"The best fans are in Connecticut, and from that select and very hip group, I would pick the Shoreline guys," said Ohlman, who will perform a gospel version of John Fogerty's "Green River," Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "This Train." ' and the title track of our 2023 album The Grown Up Thing.
"There's something deep and real about the chemistry between us that makes every show I do here spirit," she said. "That's what I live for."
Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez with special guests, The Sin Sisters present "A Celebration of Thanksgiving: Love is in the Air" at The Kate, 300 Main St. Old Saybrook, Saturday at 8 p.m. For tickets and information, visit thekate.org or call 877-503-1286.
