RMK's E2 Electric Motorcycle: Apparently Not Vaporware
Feb 04, 2019 at 1:14pm ET
By: RideApart.com
Turns out the E2 is the for real deal!
UPDATE: Back in July of 2018, we reported on some renderings from Finnish electric motorcycle startup RMK that showed a totally bonkers, cyberpunky electric bike with a hubless rear wheel. We all went, "Huh, that's rad." and promptly forgot about it. Turns out the Finns weren't screwing around and that an E2 finally exists in the world. Are we ready for it?

Electric Motorcycle Ignites In Traffic, Burns To The Ground: Video
RMK promised to have a prototype of the E2 ready for the 2019 MP19 Motorcycle Show in Helsinki, and the company delivered on that promise because the company is rolling the prototype out at the show on February 2. There aren't many details on the hub-mounted electric motor, controller, or battery yet, but the company claims that the bike makes 57 kilowatts (roughly 67 horsepower), a whopping 236 pound-feet of torque, and has a real-world range of 120-180 miles on a single charge depending on conditions and riding styles. Not gonna lie, that sounds pretty good to me.
According to New Atlas, the E2's brakes are a scooter-style setup where the brakes are controlled by handlebar levers. The front wheel features traditional hydraulic discs while the back brakes are a weird, high-tech regenerative braking setup built into that crazy hubless wheel.
All told, the E2 looks like a serious bit of kit and I, for one, am super interested in the tech involved in the rear wheel. We'll definitely be keeping an eye on RMK now, so stay tuned for more E2 news.
Original Article Follows
There's an old saying that goes, "If you want to win, hire a Finn". This holds true from rally racing to Formula One to defending the homeland from the Soviets. Electric motorcycle concepts are no exception apparently, as proven by Finnish company RMK that has come up with an innovative new e-bike design that sends the motor to the back wheel.
Wheelless motorcycles are our vision of the future, just like the 50s pictures us zipping around in flying vehicles. Brand-new Finnish motorcycle company RMK is bringing the future to us with their motorcycle concept, simply called E2. Where you would normally see a chain or a belt to pull the rear wheel forward, this system uses a cylindrical motor fitted with a massive tire at the rear as the source of power and of propulsion.
The 67 hp electric motor is expected to be paired up with one of two battery options that will offer 120 miles or 130 miles of range. Charging time should vary between two to three hours, which isn't a bad compromise. Torque at the back is expected to reach 236 lb-ft and top speed has been limited to 100 mph which leads us to believe that the E2 is expected to be quite the spirited ride. According to the company's head designer, the rear "wheel" is even expected to be lighter than a standard motorcycle wheel.
Pricing for the E2 is expected to hover around €24,990 ($29,220) and despite no actual concept having been built, the model is available for pre-orders with a €2,000 ($2,340) down payment. If you'd rather wait and see the E2 with your own eyes before committing to a blind purchase, production is expected to start at a small scale over this summer.
RMK is also targetting to show the production version of the E2 at the Helsinki MP 19 Motorcycle Show from February 1 to 3, 2019.

Gotye (whose real name is Wouter "Wally" De Backer) has become an international pop star with his 2011 release, "Making Mirrors". The pop-infused collection includes a little ditty, "Somebody I Used To Know", that subsequently took the world by storm after its early leak in July 2011.
Named after a French novella by poet Charles Baudelaire, Fanfarlo is a pop outfit hailing from London. With a wide range of instrumentation (mandolin, glockenspiel, musical saw, melodica, sax, clarinet, and the usual drums, bass, and guitar), Fanfarlo have been able to craft some uniquely beguiling and uplifting pop-folk.
Electric bluesman Joe Louis Walker is nothing short of a living legend. He was strumming a guitar by the age of eight, and by the age of 16, he was on stage and has released twenty-three ablums over the course of his career.
On his new album Justin Townes Earle aims to prove a few things. Ten songs clocking in just over thirty minutes, "Nothing's Gonna Change the Way You Feel About Me Now" is one of Justin's finest works to date harnessing his strength as a captivating storyteller.
New Multitudes
Often, an artist can be defined by his or her influences. Woody Guthrie's legacy demands instead that he be remembered for the legendary writers that he influenced.
John K. Samson, known for his deeply eloquent lyrics and tenure as the frontman of Canadian indie rock outfit The Weakerthans, is just now releasing his first solo album.
Though Robert Glasper Experiment is a fairly new entity, Robert Glasper himself has been experimenting in genre mash-ups for his entire musical career.
The Milk Carton Kids released their second album, "Prologue" for free online to over 60,000 fans. This dynamic folk duo is getting a lot of buzz and is made up of singer and guitarists Joe Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale who started playing music together in 2010.
Fun. That's the name of the pop-rock trio from New York that's making waves for their spunky and theatric meld of genres.
Heartless Bastards are back and better than ever. The Cincinnati-based group recorded their first demo in 2002 and their big break came in 2004 when The Black Keys' drummer Patrick Carney passed their demo along to Fat Possum Records. From there, they didn't need much help capturing the attention and praise of critics and fans.

OTD: "Mr. Cub" Ernie Banks Hits 500th Home Run
OTD in 1970, Mr. Cub Ernie Banks hit his 500th career home run. He played all 19 years of his Hall of Fame career with the Cubs, after retiring following the 1971 season.
The year is 1970. The Cubs were sparingly using their 39-year-old legend Ernie Banks, as he was designated to a reserve role. However, on May 12 of Banks' age-39 season, the legend further wrote himself into the record books. Mr. Cub finally hit his 500th career home run after much anticipation.
Banks' daughter said she wanted her dad to "get it over with" in anticipation of the monumental milestone. At the time, Banks was only the ninth player in the MLB to exceed the home run mark.
What makes the day even more interesting was that Banks had two RBI's that day, good for his 1,600th and 1,601st career RBI's. May 12, 1970 was a day that Ernie Banks really cemented his place in Cubs' history as one of the greatest to ever wear the Cubbie blue pinstripes.
Over the course of his career, Banks slashed .274/.330/.500 in 19 seasons. The two-time MVP was also a 14-time All-Star, and Gold Glove winner with the Cubs. By the end of his career, Banks hit 512 home runs and added 1,636 RBI's.
There are many notable reasons that Mr. Cub is immortalized outside of Wrigley Field. The accolades, the memories, and his infectious personality truly made Mr. Cub not only worthy of his nickname, but the ultimate Cubs' legend. 51 years ago today, he cemented his place in Cubs history.

Despite much talk over the last decade around boosting diversity and inclusion in law firms, women and racialized lawyers continue to be under-represented in the Canadian legal profession with Caucasian men continuing to far outnumber those two groups in senior leadership roles, according to a study from the Canadian Centre for Diversity and Inclusion.
Level Chan says a lack of women and racialized lawyers at the top of law firms is a matter of retention and advancement. He says there continues to be "over-representation" at the associate and entry-level areas of the firms but they don't tend to stay.
In fact, the study shows Caucasian men who responded to the survey have the greatest odds of being an equity partner, and they are seven times more likely than racialized women to be an equity partner.
The study, "Diversity by the Numbers: The Legal Profession," conducted by the CCDI in partnership with the Canadian Bar Association, shows the representation of minority groups in the legal profession has not changed substantially over the last three years that the CCDI has been collecting data. In 2014 and 2015, 73.99 per cent and 76.88 per cent of senior leader respondents were men. In 2016, 75.34 per cent of senior leader respondents to the survey were men and 90.78 per cent of senior leaders were Caucasian.
In 2014 and 2015, 89.28 per cent and 88.91 per cent of senior leader respondents were Caucasian respondents, respectively. Another statistic of note is that 81.9 per cent of senior leaders are equity partners.
"Results from 2014, 2015 and 2016 do not show a shift towards a more diverse and inclusive workforce, particularly in partner and leadership roles," the report states.
The study, sponsored by Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, Dentons Canada LLP, McCarthy Tétrault LLP and Miller Thomson LLP, shows women and racialized respondents are under-represented in equity partner and senior leader roles and over-represented as associates and articling or summer students.
While some might point to a tough economy since 2008, Deanna Matzanke, director, measurement and analytics at the CCDI, says the economy is a "significant red herring" and what the report shows is "a compelling validation" that the current law firm model makes it difficult for women and minorities to rise to equity partner positions.
That means many leave the law firm culture for more flexible and accommodating environments elsewhere, such as in-house roles or solo practice.
Matzanke, a lawyer herself, says the results of the study are disappointing and show that diversity and inclusion are not being successfully implemented in the legal profession, despite the fact the pool of potential lawyers in law school has increased in diversity and at the associate level at law firms shows fairly high diversity.
The majority of racialized respondents in the legal profession are Asian, while all other groups show very small representation.
A total of 11 firms from nine provinces and one territory participated in the 2016 survey. Firms were invited to participate directly by CCDI via the Law Firm Diversity and Inclusion Network, and the Canadian Bar Association sent a letter to all members.
"There's nothing surprising here really," says Level Chan, a partner with Stewart McKelvey LLP in Halifax and the CBA's representative on the CCDI's advisory committee.
Chan argues the economy has played a factor as he says "many law firms" have gone through rounds of layoffs and that would impact the ability of people to get into partnership roles as well.
In-house lawyers and their powerful role in the market is also a big factor. With law firms under regular scrutiny by corporate clients on use of the billable hour, the ability to maintain revenue streams has been a challenge.
There are also more attractive roles for in-house lawyers seeking something different from the usual private practice path.
Chan says from what he has seen, those lawyers leaving big law firms are women and other minorities being drawn to in-house positions offering certain elements not offered in traditional law firm compensation schemes, such as pensions, benefits or other financial incentives.
Kate Broer, partner with Dentons Canada and a member of the CCDI's advisory committee, agrees with Chan that lawyers have a "broader range of options" other than the traditional path of private practice and many are moving into in-house roles or to other opportunities.
But times are changing and if firms are to retain certain talent and appeal to a new generation of clients that want to see greater diversity of talent and for their own staff who want better life balance, firms will have to better address the issue. Broer says these days it's not only women who want to take time away from their careers to raise children but men, too.
She also points out that women are gaining voice at the top of some large firms. This year, Dentons Canada elected five women to its board of 10 directors in Canada. That is an increase from two out of 10 in the previous year and in 2009 none of the members of the board were women.
Although the CCDI tried to include Canada's 22 law schools in the survey to provide a comparison of students enrolled against the broader profession, the schools did not participate this year, although it was originally scheduled to be conducted this year.
I don't think "Caucasian" is a useful descriptor. According to Wikipedia: "--a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, including some or all of the populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, Western Asia, Central Asia and South Asia."


Omen or opportunity? Talking to children about death and loss.
Niki Read has been involved in creative and community development approaches to end of life for many years. She has been a collaborator of The GroundSwell Projects' since the beginning and is currently developing two local compassionate communities initiatives. This story shows us how death literacy can occur in the most unexpected places.
It was our first night on the road on a long trip to the red centre, and we'd made it all the way to Nyngen. I was feeling pretty chuffed, the riverside camp ground was lush but I was still green, not yet road-trip set-up savvy and I knew the temps were dropping fast. My four-year old was off exploring as I unloaded the car when we both heard a squawk and a thud. Looking over I saw that a galah had fallen out of the slender gum not far off. To be honest, it barely registered and I kept on setting up. I was more anxious than I realised to get set up and in the tent ready for stories and bed before the below zero mid-winter darkness consumed us.
At that call, I went to have a look and I could see that the poor wee bird had cracked its neck and had no chance of survival. "It's dying love" I say, pathos in my voice and distractedly walk back to open a tin of soup. But superstition had kicked in and somewhere inside me I thought "this is not a good sign". Death on the door-step the first night on the road!
The young fella comes over to where I have the entire contents of the car spread out on the grass and tells me we need to help the bird. He tells me "it's not dead Mum, it's alive and it's not going to die, we can help it, we can fix it, it's so cute Mum can we touch it, can we take it with us, it's not going to die Mum is it? Is it Mum? Is it?!" It's then that I truly hear him talking. I feel my anxiety rising. I just want to get the tent up and ignore that feeling. But he keeps talking me round and softening me, I step through the murky waters of fear and realise that there is an opportunity here to be with my son as he learns about caring for the dying. There's a farm girl inside me that knows about such things, and a young woman who has experienced the beauty and the mess of the death of several loved ones. There's some knowing about such things within me.
We go over to it together then, gather it up tenderly, four year old chooses his favourite tea towel as a blanket (it has cars on it!) and we put the wrapped bird into an emptied box. We sit for a long while with it, talking together about the processes of dying and four year old grapples with the reality that there is nothing we can do for the dying bird but make it as comfy as possible. We observe the breathing patterns changing and watch as it eyes open and close. We choose some toy animal friends to place around it so that it's not lonely, and we put our arnica ointment in with it to 'ease the pain'. Then we sit. We sit and talk to it, we pat it gently, we give it a name, a history, a story. We talk about life, and death.
When 'Blossom' dies and I return to setting up camp I no longer feel anxious about our first night, the bad omen or the road-trip. I feel rather, like a parent, having shared with my dear son one of the natural processes of life, sad and true. It is quiet then and still, the river flowed on beside us.

Chicken (stylized as CHICKEN) is a programming language, specifically a compiler and interpreter which implement a dialect of the programming language Scheme, and which compiles Scheme source code to standard C. It is mostly R5RS compliant and offers many extensions to the standard. The newer R7RS standard is supported through an extension library. Chicken is free and open-source software available under a BSD license. It is implemented mostly in Scheme, with some parts in C for performance or to make embedding into C programs easier.

Focus
Chicken's focus is quickly clear from its slogan: "A practical and portable Scheme system".

Chicken's main focus is the practical application of Scheme for writing real-world software. Scheme is well known for its use in computer science curricula and programming language experimentation, but it has seen little use in business and industry. Chicken's community has produced a large set of libraries to perform a variety of tasks. The Chicken wiki (the software running it is also a Chicken program) also contains a list of software that has been written in Chicken.

Chicken's other goal is to be portable. By compiling to an intermediate representation, in this case portable C (as do Gambit and Bigloo), programs written in Chicken can be compiled for common popular operating systems such as Linux, macOS, other Unix-like systems, Windows, Haiku, and mobile platforms iOS and Android. It also has built-in support for cross-compiling programs and extensions, which allows it to be used on various embedded system platforms.

Design
Like many Scheme compilers, Chicken uses standard C as an intermediate representation. A Scheme program is translated into C by the Chicken compiler, and then a C compiler translates the C program into machine code for the target computer architecture, producing an executable program. The universal availability of C makes it useful for this purpose.

Chicken's design was inspired by a 1994 paper by Henry Baker that outlined an innovative strategy to compile Scheme into C. A Scheme program is compiled into C functions. These C functions never reach the return statement; instead, they  call a new continuation when complete. These continuations are C functions and are passed on as extra arguments to other C functions. They are calculated by the compiler.

So far, this is the essence of continuation-passing style. Baker's novel idea is to use the C call stack for the Scheme heap. Hence, normal C stack operations such as automatic variable creation, variable-sized array allocation, and so on can be used. When the stack fills up (that is, the stack pointer reaches the top of the stack), a garbage collection can be initiated.  The design used is a copying garbage collector originally devised by C. J. Cheney, which copies all live continuations and other live objects to the heap.  Despite this, the C code does not copy C stack frames, only Scheme objects, so it does not require knowledge of the C implementation.

In full, the Scheme heap consists of the C stack as the nursery together with the two heaps required by the generational garbage collector. This approach gives the speed of the C stack for many operations, and it allows the use of continuations as simple calls to C functions. Further, Baker's solution guarantees asymptotic tail recursive behavior, as required by the Scheme language standard. The implementation in the Chicken Scheme compiler is even asymptotically safe for space.

Limitations and deviations from the standard
Chicken Scheme is mostly R5RS-compliant, with a few notable limitations and deviations. R7RS compatibility is supplied as an extension library.

The core system has basic support for UTF-8 characters, however the string indexing and manipulation procedures are not UTF-8 aware. An extension library exists which adds support for full UTF-8 awareness.

Add-on software
Chicken has a large software repository of added libraries and programs, termed eggs. This system is very similar to RubyGems.

Initially, these eggs were developed in one central svn repository, in which creating a tag would automatically cause a new version of the extension to become available for download.  Currently, eggs can be developed anywhere and under any version control system, while still maintaining semi-automatic release management when using most of the popular code hosting sites. This release method is VCS-agnostic in the sense that the user does not need to have these VCSes installed. The developer is free to host anywhere they choose, and can even choose to avoid public version control and distribute only plain tarballs.

For all released eggs, the latest version is tested automatically as part of a continuous integration process. A canonical test server exists, where the core system and all eggs are tested daily against the most recent development version (to catch regressive bugs), and the most recent stable version (to ensure that everything works for users of the stable system). Also, anyone can volunteer to supply further testing capacity, on different: hardware, operating systems, or core releases.

Features
Chicken supports most of R5RS standard Scheme, but it also adds a few nonstandard features which are not available in all Scheme implementations.

Foreign function interface
Chicken compiling to C makes it possible to inject custom C code into the compiled result, which eases integrating with C libraries. Its foreign function interface supports converting back and forth between most built-in C types and corresponding Scheme objects.

Also, extension libraries exist for interfacing to Python, Lua, and Java, via Java Native Interface (JNI) or a bridge.

Cross-compiling
It is relatively easy to cross-compile Scheme code to another platform (for example for embedded use on a device).

To make cross-compiling possible for Scheme code, Chicken imposes a model of separate compiling: A compiled module consists of two shared libraries. One library contains the actual code which will be used at runtime (compiled for the target platform), and the other is an import module, which will be used to load the code which runs at compile-time (on the host platform), such as procedural macro code.

The Chicken compiler can also be easily cross-compiled. After translation to C has been achieved, one can simply use a C compiler which is set up to build for another platform.

Modules and macros
Since version 4, Chicken has a built-in module system and support for low-level hygienic macros through explicit renaming macros (before version 4, this was available through an add-on library). Standard syntax-rules macros are also supported, and implicit renaming macros, which is basically a reversed version of explicit renaming.

This mechanism trades performance for convenience. Each identifier not explicitly injected as unhygienic will be automatically renamed to avoid name capture. The performance cost occurs because implicit renaming requires the macro-expander to retraverse the expressions two more times. This cost is paid at expansion time, so a macro author must consider if longer compiling times are acceptable.

Remote debugger
Since version 4.11, Chicken comes shipped with a debugger named Feathers. When Scheme code is compiled with the needed debugging option, debugging events are injected at specific points in the code. These are implemented as calls to a C function, which is relatively low-overhead when not actually debugging the code. When debugging, it will try to make a TCP connection to a Feathers server process, possibly on a different machine. The process is halted, the user may set breakpoints and start the program. Then, when the breakpoint is hit, the client (process being debugged) enters a command loop, which allows interrogation of the client, to read out variables, or mutate them.

Limited static type analysis
Chicken supports local flow analysis. This allows the compiler to catch variable type errors at compile-time, and perform type specialisation. This specialisation makes it possible to remove several safety checks for type detection at runtime when the type can be deduced at compile-time. This results in improved run-time performance.

This scrutinizer does not allow cross-module flow analysis, so it can only be used to optimize code that's part of one compiling unit (or module).

History
CHICKEN Scheme was originally developed by Felix Winkelmann on Cygwin/gcc and later Visual C++ 5.0 on Windows 98. He came up with the name "CHICKEN" arbitrarily as the "first thing that came to my mind that day" thinking of a plastic toy of Feathers McGraw on his desk. As the project matured, he decided not to change the name out of superstition.

For the people of Thoothukudi, the story of Sterlite Copper seems to build like the story of the Bhopal gas tragedy, which left thousands dead, lakhs injured, the land devastated and the company responsible off the hook.
As the world watched the 'March for Our Lives' demonstrations against gun violence in Washington DC on March 24, there was a similar outpouring of emotion on the streets of Thoothukudi, a port city in south Tamil Nadu. The residents of the district had gathered in large numbers to demand the permanent closure of the copper smelter owned and operated by Vedanta Ltd.
The environmental activist Nityanand Jayaraman, who has been documenting the issue for several years, has written extensively (such as here and here) about the role played by state regulatory authorities like TNPCB, the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and the local district administration in facilitating Sterlite.
The most recent protests, which crossed the 48-day mark on April 1, were triggered by Vedanta's move to build another copper smelter in Therkuveerapandiyapuram village to double the company's total production in Thoothukudi from 400,000 tonnes to 800,000 tonnes a year and making it the second biggest in the world.
The protests are spearheaded by the residents of Kumarettiyapuram village, which is within 200 m of the proposed plant.
Sterlite Copper had been trying to expand its production for over a decade in the face of widespread public opposition and legal and environmental hurdles. If the second plant comes up, life will likely become worse for the villagers as well as the beleaguered city of Thoothukudi.
In 2009, Sterlite Industries obtained an environmental clearance from the MoEFCC to set up a 1,200-tonne per day copper smelting complex in Thoothukudi without any public consultation. The MoEFCC maintained that the project's location within the SIPCOT complex (est. 1985) exempted it from conducting a public hearing, otherwise required for copper smelters by the Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006.
However, records show that the proposed Sterlite project is located in the second phase scheme of SIPCOT, named Tuticorin Industrial Park, which was given administrative sanction to acquire land in 1996, and not in the existing SIPCOT complex. Additionally, in 2014, SIPCOT had failed to disclose that it had already allocated 324 acres for Strelite's new project in its application to the MoEFCC.
A 2018 report published by Nityanand Jayaraman's solidarity group accused the MoEFCC, SIPCOT, the TNPCB and Sterlite of having misled the court about the new smelter's location. The document further alleged that SIPCOT had deliberately withheld the fact that Sterlite had been allotted land in its phase II scheme while applying for environmental clearance.
Worse, the report also found that the proposed complex was located on land designated 'dry agricultural land' in the village area masterplan, as approved according to the Town and Country Planning Act, 1971. Finally: Therkuveerapandiyam, a part of whose land has been allotted to Sterlite, is not classified as a 'Special Industrial and Hazardous Use Zone', so according to zoning regulations, a copper smelting plant can't be set up there.
However, bolstered by the Supreme Court's 2014 judgement, the Madras high court's dismissal of the petition against Sterlite and with the TNPCB consenting to establish in 2016, Vedanta Ltd. started working on building its new smelter.
The TNPCB, SIPCOT and Sterlite have not responded to requests for comment.
The company has also been trying to secure a political leg-up.
In 2014, in response to a public interest litigation filed by the Association of Democratic Reforms (ADR), the Delhi high court found that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress had violated the Foreign Contributions (Regulations) Act, 1976, by received donations from foreign companies. Vedanta among them paid the parties a total of Rs 9 crore between FYs 2004 and 2010.
It is the Board's policy that neither Vedanta nor any of its subsidiary companies may, under any circumstances, make donations or contributions to political organisations within the United Kingdom or European Union… However in accordance with the normal accepted practice in India of making political donations in respect of elections, the Group made political donations of US$3.7 million (2013: US$0.97 million) either through a trust or directly in respect of the Indian general election. The Board believes that supporting the political process in India will encourage and strengthen the democratic process.
The Wire had reported in 2016 as to how the government had slipped in an amendment to the Finance Bill to redefine "foreign" to include companies like Vedanta to avoid legal trouble for political parties in the future. Similarly, earlier this year, the Modi government introduced a clause in the original 2016 amendment to retroactively absolve the Congress and the BJP for accepting foreign donations.
As the Thoothukudi protests are making clear, this link between Vedanta and political parties has very real victims paying the price with their health and lives. For the people, the story of Sterlite Copper seems to build like the story of the Bhopal gas tragedy, which left thousands dead, lakhs injured, the land devastated and the company responsible off the hook.
On April 2, 2013, the Supreme Court struck down the Madras high court's order to close the plant. Once the NGT also ruled in Sterlite's favour on May 31 the same year, the factory was reopened.
While the court had conceded that "the plant of the appellant did pollute the environment" by emitting noxious pollutants and discharging dangerous effluents, it justified its verdict by deferring to the revenue the plant generated for the Centre and the state, to the jobs it provided, to the cargo volume it contributed at Thoothukudi port and to India's copper production.
…the quantum of compensation must be co-related to the magnitude and capacity of the enterprise because such compensation must have a deterrent effect and the larger and more prosperous the enterprise, the greater must be the amount of compensation payable by it.
… while noting that Sterlite Industries' profit before depreciation, interest and taxes (PBDIT) for the financial year 2010-11 was Rs 1,043 crore.
It may seem reasonable to levy a compensation of 10% of Rs 1,043 crore – but that's actually a pittance. The chart (above) shows that the PBDIT of Vedanta, Ltd. from copper smelted in India and Australia between 2000 and 2017 totalled $3.62 billion. However, it paid only $18.4 million ($1 = Rs 54.34 on the day of the judgment) for having polluted Thoothukudi for 21 years.
The latest series of protests in Thoothukudi is only the most recent show of anger; similar scenes have been playing out for over 20 years, against Sterlite as well as the state apparatus. In all this time, no major politician in Tamil Nadu had engaged with or openly supported the people on this issue, except Vaiko, leader of the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam.
In FY 2016-17 alone, the profit-before-tax of Vedanta Ltd.'s operations in India was Rs 13,946 crore, according to the Vedanta Tax Transparency Report 2016-17. With this number in mind, the government should order Vedanta Ltd. to cease operations in Thoothukudi, make the company clean up the ecological damage it has wrought, and ensure that victims receive fair compensation. Only that will be a real deterrent.

Bugatti Chiron Engine And Gearbox in 1:4 Scale by Amalgam
The Bugatti Chiron Engine And Gearbox in 1:4 Scale by Amalgam
The fastest, most powerful and exclusive production super sports car in Bugatti's history at the time of its launch, the Chiron was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2016. Master-minded by Achim Anscheidt, every element of the Chiron was designed to be a combination of reminiscence to its history, taking its name from Bugatti racing legend Louis Chiron, and the most innovative technology. The result was a unique creation of enduring value, and breath-taking automotive accomplishment. Its sophisticated design, innovative technology, and iconic, performance-oriented form made it a unique masterpiece of art, shape and technique, pushing boundaries beyond imagination. The Chiron was an attempt to create something very different from contemporary engine manufacturers, such as Ferrari and McLaren with their leanings towards hybrid technology.
To reach its unprecedented levels of performance, the Chiron effortlessly merged its captivating beauty with sleek, muscular efficiency, creating a spectacular reinterpretation of the Bugatti design DNA. At the heart of the Chiron was its quad-turbocharged eight litre W16 engine. This unique masterpiece generated an incredible 1,578 hp and 1,600 Nm of torque, with four high-performing turbochargers worked in a two-stage controlled configuration. A remarkable 60,000 litres of air were pumped through the engine every minute whilst, simultaneously, 800 litres of water per minute circulated through the its core, guaranteeing the cooling of the engine to generate the extraordinary power. A new titanium exhaust system with reduced gas back pressure and lightweight materials, such as carbon fibre, maximised power and performance. The intelligent air intake management significantly improved aerodynamics and enhanced the cooling efficiency for engine and brakes., whilst the distinctive quad LED headlights also served as air intakes to the front brakes.
The Chiron could power from a standstill to 62mph (100 km/h) in 2.4 seconds, make 124 mph (200 km/h) in 6.1 seconds, reach 186mph (300 km/h) in 13.1 seconds and achieve 248.5 mph (400 km/h) in 32.6 seconds. It also broke the 0–249–0 mph (0–400–0 km/h) record time, completing it in a ridiculous 41.96 seconds in a span of 2 miles (3.2 kilometres). The Chiron also staggeringly became the first production vehicle to break the 300mph barrier when a pre-production Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype was driven at 304.77 mph (490.48 km/h) at Volkswagen's test facility in Ehra-Lessien.
The first engine model Amalgam has made since the early 2000s, this very highly detailed and meticulously finished example of the Chiron's immense W16 engine echoes the same large 1:4 scale model previously made of the Ferrari 049 engine that powered the F1-2000. Measuring in at 44cm (18in) long and 22cm (9in) high, each individual material in the engine has been carefully and artfully reproduced at scale using special finishes as befits the Bugatti Chiron design. The accurate replication of the actual engine has relied heavily on Amalgam's close relationship with the Bugatti design team. With some 1,040 individual parts, this 1:4 replica shows every visible detail of the engine right down to the numerous parts labels and barcodes.
The Bugatti Chiron Engine and Gearbox is limited to only 99 editions.

Faerman Cash Registers Closure Scare on the Bowery [Updated]
Posted on: October 10th, 2019 at 5:00 am	by Staff
Last modified on: October 11, 2019 at 2:18 pm
A Bowery relic is no more.
Faerman Cash Register Company just closed the till for the last time, as it were. Tipsters wrote in to say that showroom at 159 Bowery is clearing out; the gates were drawn yesterday afternoon.
Update: the store is not closed. They were observing Yom Kippur
As previously reported, 159 Bowery is on the open market, further indicated by the large Cushman & Wakefield sign hanging from the facade. Asking price for the property is $7.9 million and includes air rights.
The three-story building has been in the Faerman family for decades, since 1965. But the company itself dates back even further at this location – back to 1910 when the Third Avenue El still darkened the block. That's when Faerman and his brother started it all, after emigrating from Poland. His son Bernard took the helm upon returning from the European front – a veteran of D-Day – following World War II.
Bernard later bought 159 Bowery for $75,000, giving the business a permanent home, where he sold and repaired cash registers. His son Brian eventually joined the team as a third-generation owner and continued to run the store until recently. The younger Faerman, now in his fifties, spent his "entire life in the cash register business."
Business declined in recent years, largely due to fancy POS systems. Faerman became a niche go-to for restaurants seeking an old-time vibe or period film shoots.

Finance Minister will chair panel to look at the challenges in a fast-changing global economy.
Amid a global economic slowdown, the first task at hand is to continue to create a vibrant economy, newly appointed Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat said yesterday.
This is important as it creates good job opportunities and new businesses, said Mr Heng, who will also chair a new committee on the future economy.
"With a growing economy, we can then generate the resources to invest in our future, invest in education and take care of those in need," he said.
His remarks were made during a visit to the start-up community at JTC LaunchPad @ one-north as well as packaging firm Fagerdala yesterday – his first event since he was sworn in as Finance Minister on Thursday.
Mr Heng's appointment to lead a committee tasked to look at the future economy had been announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the new Cabinet's swearing-in ceremony. The economy was in urgent need of a review, Mr Lee had said.
Singapore is operating in a rapidly changing global economic and financial environment, Mr Heng noted. While Singapore is restructuring its economy and some important policies have been put in place since the last Economic Strategies Committee report in 2010, a review of the overall situation is needed.
He said: "We need to do an assessment now to see what are the key changes in the global, regional and domestic economies. What are the challenges ahead, where are we today and what are the key things we need to do going forward?
Elaborating on some of the challenges, Mr Heng noted that the financial conditions have been volatile, especially in recent months.
Regional economies have been adapting different and shifting policies towards growth, with China, for example, undergoing structural adjustments recently. Changes in Europe and the United States will have an impact as well, he added.
In the domestic economy, an important change is slower growth of manpower and the ageing population.
"The aspirations of our young people are different, and we will have to continue to create the opportunities for them to fulfil those aspirations," said Mr Heng.
During yesterday's visit, Mr Heng also gave a hint of the approach he will take in his new role.
To understand the effect of global and domestic changes, he said, "an important place to start has to be at our companies… where the action is, the front line".
But an aspect he will certainly consider is that "the economic cycle is getting shorter and changes are happening faster".
As for how Singapore might remain relevant, he said: "The move towards higher skills, higher productivity, an innovation-intensive economy is, I believe, the right way to grow.

A Secret Lock for a Cabinet Door THE method of locking shown in the illustrations is suitable for secret doors or panels which are not supposed to open, or it may be used on hinged cupboard or cabinet doors in addition to or in the absence of an ordinary lock. The principle is that of an inside latch or bolt operated by a knife blade, or similar thin instrument, put through a crack between the door and its framework. If a crack for this purpose is undesirable it would be easy with a little ingenuity to work the bolts by a string or wire carried to a convenient point away from the door. Although the method of operating the lock may give the idea that it is an insecure and weak fastening, it actually may be very strong indeed, for the strength of a lock does not depend on the size or character of the key which opens it. Fig. 1.—Panel with swivel cross bar. Fig. 1 shows a panel or cover and the opening into which it fits. A swiveling cross bar is pivoted to the inside face of the panel.. When in the horizontal position the ends of the bar project and fit either behind adjoining panels or into slots, and the panel is locked in place. When the bar is swung into the position shown by the dotted lines its ends are flush with the edges of the panel. Stops are inserted as shown to permit only just the amount of swing required. The lower end of the panel has fixed pins or dowels to secure it, or the wood may be tongued or rebated. Screws with their heads filed off make good pins. Shoulders are necessary in the opening to prevent the panel from being forced inwards, and when it is locked it should be tight. If desirable nail heads may be driven in at each end to give it the appearance of being nailed in place. The cross bar shown in Fig. 2 is a neater shape than the simpler form in Fig. 1. Its ends are cut so that the points are central instead of being at opposite edges of the bar. Besides this it will be seen in the dotted position that the portion cut from the highest part gives a horizontal edge which can be set to just clear the shoulder against which the panel beds and so the center of the bar can be slightly nearer the end of the panel. The way the bar is marked out is apparent at D. It may be of wood or metal. So far the examples show bars running across the panel and securing it on both sides. Fig. 3 shows a hinged door with short fastenings at the side which opens. They are pivoted midway of their length so that they will balance. The dotted vertical pieces which cross them are guides which act both as stops and relieve the central screw from strain if an attempt is made to pry the door open. Unless the panel is very narrow these would be necessary in Figs. 1 and 2. The stops shown in Pig. 1 are suitable where little strength is required but if the panel is forced outward the bar. secured only at Fig. 4.—Wooden guides and wire fastening. the center, may break or bend and the screw be loosened. Combined guides and stops, as shown in Fig. 4, screwed to the door close to the edge, prevent this and greatly strengthen the fastening. The double-ended guide in Fig. 4 stops the bar in each direction and keeps it close to the door surface. The single one is intended for use where there is not room for the longer one. It would be suitable for stopping against the lower edges of the bars in Figs. 1 and 2, at the right-hand sides, where, in the dotted position, there is no room above the bar for attaching a double stop and guide. Fig. 4 also shows a fastening on the same principle made of wire instead of wood. The wire is bent to a curve so that its ends project nearly at right angles in all positions of its travel. If it was straight and consequently at right angles in one position and sloping in the other a knife would not work it so easily. Moreover when bent its extension can be adjusted exactly as required by further bending.

Recommended commands to solve this sim: show int trunk, show vlan, show run.
Thanks 9tut! Passed my exam yesterday and this was still on exam. There were some modifications done but as long as you know the concept, you'll still be able to answer it. And thank God, i read the comments because the switchport auto appeared and I was able to do something about it.
Note of caution. During the test you cannot go back at all on your answers. When I received my first sim (ospf vlan) I clicked 'next' twice and it simply skipped to the next question. That meant I lost all points and failed. Do not let this happen to you!
Is this still in 200-125?
please write the correct answer, thank you!
can anyone share latest dumps for ccna i am going for exam in next week.
i have Chinese dumps .,., please share other then Chinese dumps.
Hi guys, I need a network simulator. can anyone please share me one.
Statement 2 shows incorrect in SIM.
can anyone tell me if tab key or question mark key works in the exam sims or not ?
Got this one today, note, native vlan was set to 600 but was not visible as that in the show run like in the simulator- wasted about 10 minutes trying to remember the exact syntax of how to correct the native vlan.
Hello guys,when we do this Lab we configure on the console right?
so what to do if auto mode appears?
this was my first lab in the actual exam. SW1 and SW2 vlans were interchanged in each interface and SW3 e0/0 was configured as access port w/ vlan and no native vlan. good luck to those who will be taking the exam.
CAN ANYONE SEND ME A LATEST DUMPS?
in this sim. when conf any interface, need to set as "no shutdown" ?
The .pkt provided is kinda confusing (SW1's hostname is SW2) so please tell me if I did something wrong. I'm gonna take the exam this month.
@ VS when you download the sim and open it in packet tracer you will see that it's switch 2 interface fa0/1 that is not trunked. Meanwhile am taking my exam next week.
@Deus that's what I did. Please read what I did in SW2. Good luck on your exam!
@VS which date are you taking your exam? All the best in your exam.
Hi all, I have just passed test today and this lab was in the exam. Thank you very much 9TUT team!
does each switch that is being configured to trunk mode needs to have native vlan configure for both connected interfaces between the 3 switches?

A Man of Many Sound Bites
McLuhan wanna-be Don Tapscott peddles cyberwisdom for the wired set
P> Don Tapscott, author of the best seller, "The Digital Economy: Promise and Peril in the Age of Networked Intelligence," may be the most influential Canadian media guru since Marshall McLuhan. The Toronto-based author's phrases have yet to enter the argot of the technocracy, as have McLuhan's. But someday soon, the words "molecular economy" may slip off the tongue just as easily as McLuhan's global village. As a best-selling author, Tapscott's an up-and-coming cyberoracle. He's one of the minor punditry aiming for the hallowed ranks of his profession, which includes oft-quoted figures such as the libertarian George Gilder, Luddite Clifford Stoll and MIT media guru Nicholas Negroponte. His wisdom comes in byte-sized packets -- too big for bumper stickers but just right for brochures: "All the cynicism around the information highway is a reflection of the thinking of the new Luddites," says Tapscott. "You find it very strong in many industries, including the media. They say this is all about watching more Beavis and Butthead."
Just like his 1960s predecessor McLuhan, Tapscott is wired to renowned leaders of government and industry. He dines with Vice President Al Gore at his home and cavorts with CEOs such as Dick Notebaert of Ameritech Corp., Gerald Taylor of MCI Telecommunications Corp. and Lewis Platt, chairman of Hewlett-Packard Co. Tapscott also has a position almost as enviable as a tenured college professor -- he heads the Alliance for Converging Technologies, a business-funded think tank that studies the information superhighway's effect on business. This leaves him plenty of time for speaking engagements around the globe and meetings with techno-policy wonks.
WT: What is the molecular economy, as you put it in your book?
TAPSCOTT: The molecule is a basic element of matter -- the smallest substance a particle can be divided into and still maintain the original chemical properties of the substance. Molecules are held together by electrical forces. When forces are balanced, you have a solid. When unbalanced, you have gases. The basic element of the industrial economy, the economic element, was the corporation. But the basic element of the digital economy is the business unit of one. It is you. The molecule. You will move around, forming dynamic relationships and clusters. Others have talked about demassification. But I've tried to take it a step further and apply this molecular idea.
Ron Ponder, the CIO at AT&ampT, has a goal to create an infrastructure such that the company can segment the market to a market of one. Every customer is a different situation. What was mass production becomes molecular production. Similarly, mass marketing becomes molecular marketing. And mass media becomes molecular media. There won't be 100 channels or 500 channels. There will be one million channels, via the Internet and related networks.
WT: Why are the industrial models of business no longer valid?
TAPSCOTT: The world will change -- not because people in organizations are becoming more entrepreneurial, but because the dynamics of the economy are changing and require new kinds of structures for success. Those organizations and individuals who don't change will fall behind.
The old command and control hierarchy came out of the church and the military. Communications were between the governed and the governors. Your goal in life was to move up the hierarchy, to get more people reporting to you, because the system said that means you would make more money. Your objective was to satisfy your superiors. It was inwardly focused. Turf battles ate up all kinds of time. That doesn't work when it takes four months to move through the hierarchy, but the product has a three-month life cycle.
WT: Can you expand on that?
TAPSCOTT: Capital is fleeting. Twenty years ago, Microsoft had no capital. And it won't have any in five years if it makes another big mistake like it did around the Internet. So this is a formula for big, big changes. You have no guarantee of a job anymore. But you are asked to be highly motivated and to innovate. Very different from the old industrial production line where the boss could say 'We want another 10 percent out of this.' You can't say 'We want 10 percent more innovative ideas.' Or 10 percent better insights.
WT: Will there be a sort of Luddite reaction to this new dialectic?
TAPSCOTT: There is in a sense. All the cynicism around the information highway is a reflection of that. You find it very strong in many industries, including the media. They say this is all about watching more Beavis and Butthead. I had a conversation with Neal Postman [author of "Technopoly"], who describes himself as a latter-day Luddite. He is confusing the old dialectic with the new. The old being broadcasting or mainframe computing. But the new media is the antithesis of that. It will be what we want it to be. There is nothing inherent in the technology that means we will be watching more Beavis and Butthead or more alienating jobs.
WT: That technological impact will also reach the government. What changes do you foresee there?
TAPSCOTT: The big national bureaucracies that we've had are quite inappropriate. There is a disintermediation from our government. Many of the state and federal governments will be middle management who need to do some serious career planning.
But we need a strategy. Until that is done, all this talk about blowing away the industrial-age bureaucracy becomes a euphemism for bashing government.
Some WT predictions about the future of the digital economy:
- The nation's legal system will have to be overhauled to protect intellectual property in a digital world. Lawyers win.
- Authoritarian, developing nations such as China are caught in a bind: They recognize the necessity of a free exchange of information via computer networks to economic growth. But those computer networks also represent a political threat. So only those governments willing to sow the seeds of their own demise will raise their people's standards of living.
- As the economy moves into cyberspace, the tax man followeth. Local, state and federal governments -- strapped for cash because of a declining industrial tax base -- will focus on new on-line industries for tax revenues.
- As economics moves into cyberspace, politics, crime and war will follow. Corporations and governments will deploy cybermercenaries to disrupt network organizations and pilfer information.
- More specialization. The accessibility of on-line databases will allow individuals to become experts in increasingly obscure areas.
- Interdisciplinary approaches. The explosion of specialists will place a premium on the few people able to tie together disparate fields and disciplines. Interdisciplinarians, as they will be known, will be among the highest paid consultants.
- The information have-nots will have strategic advantage in the marketplace over the haves. That is because those not hooked into cyberspace will alone retain the social skills necessary to interact effectively in the physical presence of others.
- Marketing will become more important than ever as conduits for information explode. The most successful companies will be those able to compete for what will become the world's most precious commodities -- our attention and time.

Oldest Football Grounds
Sheffield United FC - Bramall Lane
Bramall Lane - Sheffield United Football Club's home - is rich in history. It remains one of the oldest grounds in the world still used for professional football.
The Bramall Lane ground opened in 1855 with a cricket match that saw 'the 11' play 'the 22' - the lease for the land was taken on by the Ground Committee on a 100 year lease at the cost of £70 per annum.
It saw its first football match take place on 29th December 1862 - incidentally, it was also possibly the first ever charity game in football as Sheffield FC played Hallam FC to raise monies for the 'Lancashire Mills Distress Fund'. The game lasted for three hours and finished in a 0-0 draw!
Mansfield Town FC - Field Mill
Mansfield Town's Field Mill ground, now known as the One Call Stadium, is the oldest professional football ground in the world. Field Mill has been used as a football ground since 1861 (and as a cricket ground for a few years before that).
Field Mill also staged the first competitive match to be played under artificial light in this country when the North Notts League Senior Cup final was played at Field Mill under floodlights in 1930.
Ipswich Town FC - Portman Road
Portman Road is a football stadium in Ipswich, Suffolk, England, which has been the home ground of Ipswich Town F.C. since 1884. The stadium has also hosted many England youth international matches, and one senior England friendly international match, against Croatia in 2003. It staged several other sporting events, including athletics meetings and international hockey matches, musical concerts and Christian events.
The stadium underwent significant redevelopments in the early 2000s, which increased the capacity from 22,600 to a current figure of 30,311, making it the largest-capacity football ground in East Anglia. Its four stands have since been converted to all-seater, following the recommendations of the Taylor Report.
Burnley FC - Turf Moor
Turf Moor is the home ground of Premier League club Burnley, who have played there since moving from the Calder Vale ground in 1883. This unbroken service makes Turf Moor the longest continuously used ground of any of the 49 teams which have played in the Premier League. The stadium, which is situated on Harry Potts Way, named so after the club's longest serving manager, has an official capacity of 21,944, all seated. It was one of the last remaining stadiums in England to have the players' tunnel and dressing rooms behind one of the goals, until it was covered for seating in time for the 2014–15 Premier League season and rebuilt between the Cricket Field and James Hargreaves stands.
Preston North End FC - Deepdale
Deepdale is "widely recognised as being the oldest 'continuously used' football stadium in the world. But like most coveted historic accolades, it is fiercely contested". [3] For example, Maidenhead United F.C. have played at their York Road ground since 1871, but they are not a professional club, unlike Preston North End.
The land on which the stadium stands was originally Deepdale Farm. It was leased on 21 January 1875[4] by the town's North End sports club and originally used for cricket and rugby. It hosted its first association football match on 5 October 1878.

Guitar-driven rock takes on a warmth and appeal when it's in the hands of rock 'n' roll artist Seth Winters. With a distinct voice and fingers that fly up and down the neck of his guitar, Seth has a lot to offer the music industry, even beyond the growing independent music scene of his hometown of Athens, GA.
Check Out Seth's Music
Seth Winters has just released his brand new album Many Stories Inside Me. It is a wide mix of varying original material. The opening track Cassidy is a country song, where the album also has harder heavier edged darker songs such as Crazy Man Sane and Orange County in the 80's. Many Stories Inside Me is a timeline of Seth's personal experiences mixed with his trademark guitar virtuosity, strong songwriting and spot on vocals. The album's influences can also easily be easily spotted without crossing into copying too much territory. The opening track Cassidy reminds one of a young Dickey Betts, while Crazy Man Sane has a Gov't Mule-type vibe. The album's strongest guitar solo comes towards the end of track 2 – The World Don't Run on Love – while there are also lots of guitar trading fireworks with Zack Feinberg, the guitarist from The Revivalists, on Crazy Man Sane. Radar Screen track 6 can hear influences from Prince's When Doves Cry while also charting an original path. Many Stories Inside Me is a diverse range of strong songs, vocals and guitar work.

China, Climate Change & Water Recycling Air On Sharon Kleyne Radio Show
Dr. Neil S. Grigg Joins Sharon Kleyne To Discuss Water Trouble Spots on Earth. Grigg & Kleyne Examine World's Water Problems.
GRANTS PASS, Ore. (PRWEB) March 30, 2018
Sharon Kleyne welcomed Dr. Neil S. Grigg back to her nationally syndicated radio program, The Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water, Global Climate Change and Your Health on VoiceAmerica sponsored by Nature's Tears® EyeMist® to discuss water hot spots in the world and how a major country like China is dealing with them. "This program plants the seed around the world," said Kleyne in her opening remarks, "that the life of the water vapor in your body is the life of water on this planet. Nobody understands that better than Dr. Grigg. He gets it," Kleyne continued, "that Water Life Science® must be a priority for everyone." Kleyne also shared that China, with the world's largest population and second-largest economy, has been plagued by air pollution for years, but has made heroic strides in cleaning up both its air and water in the last decade.
Dr. Grigg, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado State University, is an experienced educator, researcher, consulting engineer and public official who applauds all efforts to clean up air and replenish fresh water supplies. Throughout his career, Grigg has focused on water management and institutions, water rights, water supplies, state water planning, water law, policy and regulation, infrastructure development and water security. These diverse efforts have taken him to far-flung destinations, and he has worked on projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Grigg began his radio visit by agreeing with Kleyne that "the management of water begins with gaining an understanding of evaporation and how to deal with it." Grigg also supported Kleyne's oft-expressed concern for healthy soil. "Soil can't be too dry," said Grigg. "Farmland must be moist. If water is scarce," Grigg added, "soil will remain sterile and won't be able to produce the living microorganisms that enrich soil life." Kleyne suggested that this process cannot occur without the supplementation provided by the atmosphere's water vapor.
Kleyne and Grigg spent much of the program discussing climate change and water recycling. Grigg said that it was important that people distinguish between climate and weather. Weather is what's happening—rain, cold, hot—at any given moment; climate is the bigger picture. "I think most people agree that the climate around the world is changing," Grigg said. "It's heating up. The question, mostly political, is what are we humans doing to contribute to that heating process and how might we reverse the damage?"
Kleyne reminded listeners that water vapor in the air—the atmosphere—defines the climate. "For example," Kleyne said, "there is less water in arid sections of China than in humid sections." Grigg imagines that new technology will be developed to deal more effectively with climate change, but earth will also see climate-induced migrations, especially in places like Asia and Africa where water can be scarce. Another example of climate-induced migration would be the U.S. Dustbowl migration in the 1920s and 30s. One other technology development that is already underway in many global locations, including China, is green roof technology. This refers to city dwellers growing gardens and lawns on the roofs of buildings.
Kleyne, also the founder of Bio-Logic Aqua® Research Water Life Science®, teaches that everything about life is water. "The body water is life," said Kleyne. "All living things exist with and in the atmosphere's water vapor."

A wide-ranging, thought-provoking look at faith and the nature of reality.
BEYOND EXTREMISM, HATRED, AND VIOLENCE
TOWARD A MORE PEACEFUL WORLD
by R.E. Markham ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A
A call for a broader, more compassionate version of spirituality.
Despite the fact that his nonfiction debut contains a vague chart of fundamentalist Christian vintage (with "God, Heaven, Angels" on the top, for instance, and "Demons, Hell, Satan" on the bottom), Markham delves into a far more ecumenical and broad-based spiritual schema. He characterizes God as "the mysterious, underlying source of all existence" and asserts that underneath the "blitz" of the modern world—exemplified by advertisements, politics, and the nonstop news cycle—there's a deeper level of reality, a spiritual level to which everybody is connected, whether they realize it or not: "is it not reasonable to accept the possibility that reality has a dimension that is an impenetrable void inaccessible to sense and intellect?" he asks. This mysterious level, he says, can be a help to people during times of loss or despair: "knowingly or not, they draw upon a deep reservoir of spirit that enables them to comprehend their situation in a larger perspective." Secular readers will naturally object to being implicated in such an explicitly religious worldview, but Markham's clear, easygoing prose emphasizes that commonality is more important than doctrine: "Realizing that we're all in this together on this speck of dust can help us have compassion for one another even when we disagree." While referencing a wide array of sources, such as Karen Armstrong's The Case for God and Crane Brinton's The Shaping of Modern Thought, Markham effectively offers a path out of what he sees as social conditioning: "we must find a way to short-circuit business as usual," he writes. Overall, he presents a liberal, inclusive reading of the Judeo-Christian tradition as a way forward, but readers of other faiths will also find plenty of substance in these pages.

BEYOND DOGMATISM
by R.E. Markham
If the authors are serious, this is a silly, distasteful book. If they are not, it's a brilliant satire.
by Robert Greene ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1998
The authors have created a sort of anti-Book of Virtues in this encyclopedic compendium of the ways and means of power.
Everyone wants power and everyone is in a constant duplicitous game to gain more power at the expense of others, according to Greene, a screenwriter and former editor at Esquire (Elffers, a book packager, designed the volume, with its attractive marginalia). We live today as courtiers once did in royal courts: we must appear civil while attempting to crush all those around us. This power game can be played well or poorly, and in these 48 laws culled from the history and wisdom of the world's greatest power players are the rules that must be followed to win. These laws boil down to being as ruthless, selfish, manipulative, and deceitful as possible. Each law, however, gets its own chapter: "Conceal Your Intentions," "Always Say Less Than Necessary," "Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy," and so on. Each chapter is conveniently broken down into sections on what happened to those who transgressed or observed the particular law, the key elements in this law, and ways to defensively reverse this law when it's used against you. Quotations in the margins amplify the lesson being taught. While compelling in the way an auto accident might be, the book is simply nonsense. Rules often contradict each other. We are told, for instance, to "be conspicuous at all cost," then told to "behave like others." More seriously, Greene never really defines "power," and he merely asserts, rather than offers evidence for, the Hobbesian world of all against all in which he insists we live. The world may be like this at times, but often it isn't. To ask why this is so would be a far more useful project.

by Elie Wiesel & translated by Marion Wiesel ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 16, 2006
Elie Wiesel spent his early years in a small Transylvanian town as one of four children.
He was the only one of the family to survive what Francois Maurois, in his introduction, calls the "human holocaust" of the persecution of the Jews, which began with the restrictions, the singularization of the yellow star, the enclosure within the ghetto, and went on to the mass deportations to the ovens of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. There are unforgettable and horrifying scenes here in this spare and sombre memoir of this experience of the hanging of a child, of his first farewell with his father who leaves him an inheritance of a knife and a spoon, and of his last goodbye at Buchenwald his father's corpse is already cold let alone the long months of survival under unconscionable conditions.
The author's youthfulness helps to assure the inevitable comparison with the Anne Frank diary although over and above the sphere of suffering shared, and in this case extended to the death march itself, there is no spiritual or emotional legacy here to offset any reader reluctance.

Berkshire Hathaway BRK earnings for the second quarter of 2022
Geneva Burns August 6, 2022 2 min read
An Andy Warhol-like print of Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett hangs outside a clothing stand during the first in-person annual meeting since 2019 for Berkshire Hathaway Inc in Omaha, Nebraska, US April 30, 2022.
Scott Morgan | Reuters
Berkshire HathawayOperating profit jumped in the second quarter despite concerns about slowing growth, but the Warren Buffett conglomerate wasn't immune to general market turmoil.
Berkshire reported Saturday morning that the conglomerate's operating profit – which includes profits from countless group-owned businesses such as insurance, railroads and utilities – was $9.283 billion in the second quarter of 2022. It represents a 38.8% increase over the same quarter of the year. Past.
However, the company recorded a loss of $53 billion on its investment during the quarter. The legendary investor once again asked investors not to focus on the quarterly fluctuations in his stock investments.
"The magnitude of investment gains/losses in any quarter is usually meaningless and provides figures on net earnings per share that can be highly misleading for investors with little or no knowledge of accounting rules," Berkshire said in a statement.
Shares tumbled in a bear market during the second quarter after sharp interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve to tame spiraling inflation raised fears of a recession. The S&P 500 posted a quarterly loss of more than 16% – its biggest drop in a single quarter since March 2020. For the first half, the broader market index fell 20.6% for the largest drop in the first half since 1970.
Class A stock fell more than 22% in the second quarter, and is now down nearly 20% from its all-time high on March 28. However, Berkshire stock is significantly outperforming the S&P 500, down 2.5% versus the stock index's 13% year-to-date loss.

Berkshire said it spent nearly $1 billion in share buybacks during the second quarter, bringing the six-month total to $4.2 billion. However, this is a slower repurchase pace than that seen in the first quarter, when the company repurchased $3.2 billion of its stock.
The conglomerate showed a massive cash hoard of $105.4 billion at the end of June even though the giant has been more active in closing deals and picking stocks.
The Oracle of Omaha has been steadily adding to his business Occidental Petroleum Since March, giving Berkshire a 19.4% stake in Occidental for about $10.9 billion. Oxidental has been the best performing stock in the S&P 500 this year, doubling in price on the back of higher oil prices.
In late March, the company said it had agreed to buy an insurance company Rich for $11.6 billion Marking Buffett's biggest deal since 2016.
