Philosophy and economics, also philosophy of economics, studies topics such as rational choice, the appraisal of economic outcomes, institutions and processes, and the ontology of economic phenomena and the possibilities of acquiring knowledge of them.
It is useful to divide philosophy of economics in this way into three subject matters which can be regarded respectively as branches of action theory, ethics (or normative social and political philosophy), and philosophy of science. Economic theories of rationality, welfare, and social choice defend substantive philosophical theses often informed by relevant philosophical literature and of evident interest to those interested in action theory, philosophical psychology, and social and political philosophy.
Economics is of special interest to those interested in epistemology and philosophy of science both because of its detailed peculiarities and because it has many of the overt features of the natural sciences, while its object consists of social phenomena.
The question usually addressed in any subfield of philosophy (the philosophy of X) is "what is X?" A philosophical approach to the question "what is economics?" is less likely to produce an answer than it is to produce a survey of the definitional and territorial difficulties and controversies. Similar considerations apply as a prologue to further discussion of methodology in a subject. Definitions of economics have varied over time from the modern origins of the subject, reflecting programmatic concerns and distinctions of expositors.
Ontological questions continue with further "what is..." questions addressed at fundamental economic phenomena, such as "what is (economic) value?" or "what is a market?". While it is possible to respond to such questions with real verbal definitions, the philosophical value of posing such questions actually aims at shifting entire perspectives as to the nature of the foundations of economics. In the rare cases that attempts at ontological shifts gain wide acceptance, their ripple effects can spread throughout the entire field of economics.
An epistemology deals with how we know things. In the philosophy of economics this means asking questions such as: what kind of a "truth claim" is made by economic theories – for example, are we claiming that the theories relate to reality or perceptions? How can or should we prove economic theories – for example, must every economic theory be empirically verifiable? How exact are economic theories and can they lay claim to the status of an exact science – for example, are economic predictions as reliable as predictions in the natural sciences, and why or why not? Another way of expressing this issue is to ask whether economic theories can state "laws". Philosophers of science and economists have explored these issues intensively since the work of Alexander Rosenberg and Daniel Hausman dating to 3 decades ago.
Philosophical approaches in decision theory focus on foundational concepts in decision theory – for example, on the natures of choice or preference, rationality, risk and uncertainty, and economic agents. Game theory is shared between a number of disciplines, but especially mathematics, economics and philosophy. Game theory is still extensively discussed within the field of the philosophy of economics. Game theory is closely related to and builds on decision theory and is likewise very strongly interdisciplinary.
The ethics of economic systems deals with the issues such as how it is right (just, fair) to keep or distribute economic goods. Economic systems as a product of collective activity allow examination of their ethical consequences for all of their participants. Ethics and economics relates ethical studies to welfare economics. It has been argued that a closer relation between welfare economics and modern ethical studies may enrich both areas, even including predictive and descriptive economics as to rationality of behavior, given social interdependence.
Utilitarianism, one of the ethical methodologies, has its origins inextricably interwoven with the emergence of modern economic thought. Today utilitarianism has spread throughout applied ethics as one of a number of approaches. Non-utilitarian approaches in applied ethics are also now used when questioning the ethics of economic systems – e.g. rights-based (deontological) approaches.
Many political ideologies have been an immediate outgrowth of reflection on the ethics of economic systems. Marx, for example, is generally regarded primarily as a philosopher, his most notable work being on the philosophy of economics. However, Marx's economic critique of capitalism did not depend on ethics, justice, or any form of morality, instead focusing on the inherent contradictions of capitalism through the lens of a process which is today called dialectical materialism.
The philosophy of economics defines itself as including the questioning of foundations or assumptions of economics. The foundations and assumption of economics have been questioned from the perspective of noteworthy but typically under-represented groups. These areas are therefore to be included within the philosophy of economics.
Cross-cultural perspectives on economics: an example is the Buddhist-inspired Bhutanese "Gross National Happiness" concept (suggested as a better development measure than GNI/GDP). Amartya Sen is a renowned advocate for the integration of cross-cultural phenomena into economic thinking. Related area: economic anthropology.
Feminist perspectives on economics: e.g. Drucilla Barker & Edith Kuiper eds., Towards a feminist philosophy of economics. Routledge. 2003. ISBN 0-415-28388-4. ; see also feminist economics.
The ethics of economic systems is an area of overlap between business ethics and the philosophy of economics. People who write on the ethics of economic systems are more likely to call themselves political philosophers than business ethicists or economic philosophers. There is significant overlap between theoretical issues in economics and the philosophy of economics. As economics is generally accepted to have its origins in philosophy, the history of economics overlaps with the philosophy of economics.
Some universities offer joint degrees that combine philosophy, politics and economics. These degrees cover many of the problems that are discussed in Philosophy and Economics, but are more broadly construed. A small number of universities, notably the LSE, the Erasmus University Rotterdam, Copenhagen Business School and the University of Bayreuth offer master's degree programs specialized in philosophy and Economics.

Happy Days is Here Again in Theatre @ Boston Court
When I read Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot at the age of 25, I wondered what the play was all about. When I saw it decades later, I thought it was the most remarkable piece ever written for the theatre. My point: the older you are, the better you appreciate Beckett's plays.
Beckett never was a playwright for all markets. The young tend to wonder what he's writing about because they're flush with the business of living and Beckett's wry perspective comes from a mountain of age. Well, at the very least a small mound, as will be evident to anyone, young or old, attending Happy Days now at the Theatre @ Boston Court in Pasadena.
This seldom revived piece — like Godot, like all of Beckett — demands an act of dedication on the part of the actors who perform it. Its two solitary characters, Winnie and Willie, speak for us all. The setting (by Takeshi Kata) is as bleak as it can get: an arid mound of earth under a beating sun in which every living thing appears to have dried up, except for Winnie, a woman buried in earth up to her waist (deeper later), while a man, Willie, loiters behind the mound lost in silent thoughts and only an occasional utterance.
Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn performed this play together, as did French actors Madeleine Renaud and Jean-Louis Barrault. In each case the actors were married to each other. The production @ Boston Court also is performed by a married couple: Brooke Adams and Tony Shalhoub. This may seem like a trifling observation, but the intimacy of the offstage relationship has theatrical relevance. It helps to enhance the onstage chemistry.
The primary focus in this quasi-monologue is on Winnie, who talks more or less nonstop, while Willie says next to nothing in his own very eloquent way. Winnie speaks, she tells us, because the preternatural silence is too deafening. She focuses first on the big things, announcing at the start of her day, "No change. No pain. Wonderful thing that. Nothing like it," followed at frequent intervals for a variety of reasons by a gratitude she's intent on maintaining. "Great mercies, great mercies" is heard quite often.
In between, to make the minutes pass, she moves on to the minutiae of daily life: brushing her teeth, remembering (or forgetting) to comb her hair, rejoicing at the contents of her large purse (a gun included), postponing the singing of a song until "later," because it will make the hour more special then. And always interrupting her own thoughts to try to get a reaction out of Willie because, as she makes clear, talking to yourself can get tiresome and even terrifying. "Words fail." Sometimes.
Sometimes Willie responds; sometimes he doesn't. But oh, when that answer comes, when even a grunt from the "other" is heard, Winnie exults, "This is going to be another happy day," with a smile that could light up the sky if it weren't already blazing.
What needs to be seen and heard in Andrei Belgrader's nicely calibrated staging of this production is the subtlety and variety of Adams' characterization of Winnie. The performance is delivered at a pace that never hurries but also never flags. She is by turns dignified, irritable, frightened, polite, determined to maintain composure at all cost. A fleeting expression of alarm ("I have not lost my reason. Not quite. Not yet.") or flash of irritation aimed at Willie, when she needs him to respond and he won't, speak volumes. These also could be aimed at whatever out there has brought the two of them to such an impasse. Mutual nuclear destruction? God? Man? Nature? Time?
Tony Shalhoub's performance as Willie makes its own large contribution. His determined reluctance to react to the situation or to Winnie's persistence is filled with terse gems of inarticulation, each of which supports Winnie's interminable chatter, sometimes in touching ways, at other times in surprisingly funny ones.
These integrated characters are as indispensable to one another as they are to making the play work. And the performances delivered by the two actors remind us of why theatre will not die. Nothing that is so captivating on this stage, in this dark room shared with others, as we watch these two survivalists soldier on, would work for the camera. The play needs the pulse of life, the precious breath of live actors.
Beckett was prescient perhaps beyond his own imagining when he wrote Happy Days. With all the clamor about climate change roaring in the background, this piece takes on added meaning, although it doesn't need it. As an African American mime said to me once, "From the moment we are born, we are fighting rigor mortis." Happy Days is a requiem for that more personal climate change to come — the one that we each carry within us from birth.

</configuration>

A: You didn't really say what is failing or provide error messages - but I am going to go out on a limb and take a guess.
My guess is that when you are doing the <clear /> within modules you are getting a "Lock Violation" error. This is because at the higher level of the IIS7 settings hierarchy, the modules section (and individual modules themselves) are set as locked so that you cannot override/remove them within a web.config file. This is by design, since the modules are really what make up a running IIS system.
To be able to do a <clear /> of modules in web.config, you need to do the following:

*

*Make a backup copy of %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config

*Open up %windir%\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config - you will need to open your editor as an administrator. Also, if you are on 64bit Windows, you will need to use a 64bit editor in order to see the file.

*Find the <configSections> area - in the sectionGroup for system.WebServer - there will be a line that says:
<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />
Change the overrideModeDefault to be Allow instead of Deny.

This still won't let you do a <clear /> in the web.config/modules though, because many of the core modules are locked individually.

*

*Now look for the <modules> section in applicationHost.config.

*Many of the modules listed here have the lockItem attribute set to True. Change them all to be False.

*Save your applicationHost.config.

You should now be able to <clear /> modules in your web.config file.

The S&P 500 closed at an all-time high on Friday, leaving investors wondering where the market heads from here.
Business Insider recently asked David Bianco for what he considered to be the most important chart in the world.
"Normally in the middle of an economic cycle, investment spending is 2 to 3 times GDP growth," said Bianco, Deutsche Bank's Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. "Strong investment spending is what drives S&P 500 sales and non-financial profits. The whole debate about the S&P is about when this turns back up again."
Capital expenditure growth over the last 12 months has averaged an unusually low 3.5% over the last 12 months.
"1967 and 1985-87 are two periods that saw similar mid-cycle capex slowdown," said Bianco. "But, the economic cycle proved to be long lasting and capex growth eventually accelerated."
The next update on capex will come on Friday when the Census Bureau publishes its September durable goods orders report.

UK lags behind Europe on electric vehicle home charging speeds
Matt Sumner Jul 02, 2019
Charging, Electric Vehicles, Environment News, General News, News, Newsletter, Secondary News
Matt Sumner
Alexander Lewis-Jones, EVs and Electricity Product Manager at Delta-ee
Delta-ee, the specialist new energy research and consulting company, has conducted customer research which sheds light on the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in the UK and other European countries such as France, Germany, the Netherlands and Norway.
The study shows the speed of EV home charging differs significantly between the UK and the rest of Europe. Nearly three quarters of German users enjoy the fastest rate of home charging of 22kW or higher. The same power level is available to only 20 per cent of British drivers – a result of the predominantly single-phase residential electricity supply across Britain.
"Residential electricity supply on the continent lends itself much better to high-power uses such as fast home EV charging than in the UK. Our reliance on single-phase supply could hold us back in the future. Twelve-hour overnight charges are one thing, but as the EV transition gathers pace and battery sizes grow – and we potentially pivot to electrified heating too – this may become a cause for regret," explains Alexander Lewis-Jones, EVs and Electricity Product Manager at Delta-ee.
However, the UK also stood out as having the lowest proportion (22 per cent) of EV drivers using regular plug sockets to charge their cars, and the highest proportion using dedicated EV charging points for home charging (73 per cent) – in Germany only half of respondents said the same. The findings suggest that EV drivers in Britain are diligent about safe and proper charging, and that the OLEV grant has been a successful policy in encouraging those behaviours and making them affordable.
"This is evidence that the UK Government's home charge point grant has been a great policy success. Let's hope this continues when, from July this year, we transition towards giving grants to 'smart' home charge points to help accommodate EVs into the energy system. Single-phase supply is a drawback, but this is an opportunity for the UK to lead Europe on advanced home charging solutions", adds Alexander.
"The other side of the coin is public charging infrastructure. The reality is drivers won't go electric until the public infrastructure is in place, but if we get it right, it could also compensate for any shortcomings in UK home-charging. However, as it stands, the UK is an archipelago of unconnected public charging islands, which is not the case on the continent. Our data shows that, if the UK is serious about being a leader in the EV transition, we need to invest strategically and work collaboratively with the customer's journey at the front of our mind".

just called O2 asking if they have the TOCCO in stock, and the man told me they dont stock it. so i called again and someone told me they dont have till beginning of June.
Well to all those who want it on orange, it is currently on the website.
Don't know how long it will stay though, no one really seems to know what they are doing!!
To Christina, it depends what time you ordered as to whether you recieved an e-mail or not, o2 are usually there till about 8. i recieved an e-mail to say it was dispatched next day delivery this morning, however be aware that o2's carrier DHL dont work Saturdays - so i should recieve mine on Monday. and to Newbie, i can't remember such a bizarre launch, o2 need to get their facts right. As far as i was aware the F480 came onto the order system the evening of the 29th, and i got it on a free upgrade, 12mth £35 deal. (which btw doesnt match the online shop price - handset should be £49.99)It seems they are letting some ppl upgrade, and some not. Seems an o2 training issue to me - just keep trying!
Whats the changes to Flext? I was told that allowance would be changing from £190 to £200 on flext 35. Is that the only change?
trust me, tmobile do have these phones. mine will be arriving today. Carphone warehouse are stocking it on 02 and orange..
I stuck with flex as its the best value for money plan. £30 - £180 allowance.. free weekend calls.
NRW - what number did you call for your upgrade? I don't mind paying £30 to stay on my existing contract but they didn't let me get that far on the phone.
ScottE, 29 May 2008the TOCCO is already available on orange at your local Carphone Warehouse and ladies and gents... morei was talking about the Orange network on its own, not through another company.
I ordered mine this morning from O2 on an upgrade. Paid £30 for it keeping my existing tariff of £25 per month.
Following on from Sids81, i tried calling O2 today and was told that the phone is avaiable to order, but not for a handset upgrade yet. If i wanted to order it, they would have to charge me full price....how stupid is that.
I now have to phone back (sound familiar???) after lunch to see if their system has been updated.
Hope those that have received their phones are happy with it.
According to a Carphone Warehouse advisor who phoned me today, the F480 will not be released on T Mobile any time soon- I was actually told 'at least 3 months'. But then again, he was eagerly trying to push me into taking up the phone on 02's network as it is available.
Sids81, 29 May 2008To all trying to contact o2 - Finally got through to them at about 19:30pm to try to upgrade t... moreyou recieved an email from 02 i didnt :( y is dat!
Woooooooohooooo i finally got the f480 :) just ordered it from o2 now i hope its next day delivery any one no if it is?
and im not sure what colour it will be hopee its black!
To all trying to contact o2 - Finally got through to them at about 19:30pm to try to upgrade to the Tocco - and at last it was on the system! recieved confirmation via e-mail it had been sent for dispatch too, which is a bonus. Shame it wasnt on before 4pm for next day delivery!
Jennifer, 29 May 2008If you buy the phone on 02 dont get it from carphone warehouse, get an online 02 contract from... moreThats not true now is it Jennifer....its free from 30punts pcm on either..good luck though..hope you like it..

thunderstorm, 29 May 2008they do them in carphone warehouse, got mine on orange today in store! you have to ask them it... moreDamn right...thunderstorm lol....and its a tough call secret vs F480... i love the secrets looks just as much as the 480 but i do like the secrets ui...the "entertainment sections of the phone are fully touch where general use is not... both fantastic phones. contract wise though the f480 is a cheeper pcm cost (off the top of my head), from 30 squids both 02 and orange..

More sound sense from the wonderful @GretaThunberg. There's more reason in this 16-year-old than in the combined weight of the world's governments.

You can hear her whole, short speech here. Everything you need to know - and everything that politicians and the media will not say - in 9 calm minutes.
How come a 16-year-old gets all this, but the adults who claim to lead us do not?

I am proud to be an anti-capitalist.
This does not make me either a communist or, as has been suggested, astonishingly, this morning, an anti-semite.
I should clarify that I wasn't personally accused of anti-semitism today. A general equivalence between anti-capitalism and anti-semitism was made, by a Labour MP: labourlist.org/2019/03/siobha…
In the UK today, there are still plenty of people, some of whom write for the newspapers, who believe British colonialism was largely benign. Here is a small part of the vast body of evidence they must ignore: theguardian.com/australia-news…

Safe in their hands? I don't think so. This is the House of Commons debating our existential crisis - #ClimateBreakdown - for the first time in 2 years. Government benches almost empty. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

It's the same in all the UK's corridors of power - politics, the media, business, academia - the attention devoted to our crucial issues is a fraction of the attention devoted to the trivial ones.

Leon Russell's "Of Thee I Sing": A '70s-Era Song for Today
by Elizabeth Rose
With the passing of Leon Russell, we lost a soulful, kick-ass virtuoso whose broadband versatility in gospel-infused southern boogie piano rock, blues and country is unsurpassed. Aside from his astounding resume as a hit-making studio musician, hippie commune band leader and singer, the Russell songbook includes some unforgettable pop standards: "This Masquerade," "This Song For You," "Tight Rope" and "Superstar." Ray Charles, George Benson, Rita Coolidge, Willy Nelson, Christina Aguilera and Herbie Hancock are a few artists who've recorded covers of these master works. With all these accomplishments, it's easy to overlook his political songs. Russell's career as a solo artist peaked in the early 1970s when the USA was traumatized by the Vietnam War. He was deeply affected by the turmoil and wrote about it.
A great example is his song, "Of Thee I Sing," from the album, Leon Russell and the Shelter People. He composed this little-known gem after the Kent State University shootings on May 4, 1970. Students were demonstrating against the Vietnam War. The Kent State campus had become a hotbed of unrest. Several nights earlier, someone had set the ROTC building on fire. The Governor of Ohio called out the National Guard. Lacking a clear order to shoot, they fired anyway: 67 rounds in 13 seconds. Four unarmed students were killed. Two were just walking to class — not a part of the demonstration. One was a member of the ROTC.
The Vietnam War had torn the country in two: Doves vs. Hawks. Mai Lai. The draft. Then, on April 30, 1970, Nixon escalated the situation by bombing Cambodia. Many citizens were angry. Doves accused pro-war sympathizers of wrapping themselves up in the American flag, labeling anti-warriors "un-American" and kidnapping the American flag. For his part, Russell was outraged. "She changes right before my eyes into something ugly and sore," he sings. It hurt him. "And the blood is on the books in Ohio, so badly stained what could I say?"
Musically, the song begins with Russell's energetic piano-octave bass in his left hand and a boogie-woogie right hand lick a la Jerry Lee Lewis. Not surprising. Teenage Russell played his first road gig with The Killer. The music builds with gospel backing vocals and a tight rhythm section. Then, suddenly, Russell drops it down to the tastiest single note piano solo. Another thrilling build takes the song's climax straight to the pulpit. The music pauses. The preacher preaches. On the last blue note, everybody testifies.
There are more songs on this album that may have been inspired by the political climate of the day. "Alcatraz" is an ironic denial of freedom told from a Native American's point of view. "Stranger in a Strange Land" is an affirmation of confusion of a man trying to find his place in the world. Nicknamed "The Master of Space and Time," Leon Russell's political songs continue to resonate today. No surprise he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

United Response CEO takes on Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100
On 30th July, disability charity United Response's CEO, Tim Cooper, will get on his bike for the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100.
United Response is a national charity, supporting people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and mental health needs to live in the community. Tim has been the CEO for the charity since 2015.
The 56-year-old from Wiltshire is taking on his biggest challenge event to date to raise vital funds for the charity, fitting in several hours of training a week around a busy lifestyle.
Tim first started cycling 17 years ago and has previously taken on London to Brighton as well as off-road events.
The fifth Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 will set off from the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and follow a spectacular 100-mile route on closed roads through London and Surrey, finishing at the Mall.
Commenting on taking on his latest challenge, Tim said:
"I've heard from other riders that it is good fun and it's a great opportunity to promote the fantastic work that United Response does day in day out.
"I've been doing regular evening rides around Richmond Park and Surrey Hills, plus some longer day rides at the weekend around Wiltshire. I think the biggest challenge on the day will be trying not to think about my aches and pains!"
As the CEO for United Response, and with a wealth of experience supporting people with learning disabilities throughout his career, Tim knows the huge impact fundraising has on the lives of people supported by the charity.
"Fundraising enables us to make a difference to people's lives that couldn't be delivered with statutory funding," he said. "Projects such as our award-winning accessible newspaper, Easy News, for example, rely on fundraised money and its things like this which enable the people we support to really live their lives to the fullest and be active members of their community."
Tim is looking forward to the atmosphere on the day of the event, where United Response will be there to cheer him on.

Trout lilies in flower
Posted on March 10, 2016 by Juniper Level Botanic Garden
Among many flowers in the garden today are the native trout lilies, Erythronium rostratum (Ohio to Texas). This small woodland ephemeral perennial is amazing, both for its foliage and flowers. By May, it's gone to sleep for the summer. We are growing these from seed, which should take 2-3 years to have flowering-size plants to share. Would anyone purchase these if we had them available?

Howard merits nod as All-Star
Milton KentTHE BALTIMORE SUN
OK, so it's hard to think of a $15 million-a-year player as a victim, but there's a pretty good chance that Juwan Howard was robbed of a spot in next week's All-Star Game in his own building.
Howard, the 6-foot-9 forward of the Washington Wizards, won't show up on anyone's list of elite players, nor should he. But he has had a steady if not spectacular first half of the season that probably should have been rewarded with an All-Star berth next Sunday.
It has become fashionable to bash Howard, in the midst of a long-term, big-bucks contract, for not playing up to what he's paid. Indeed, the fans at MCI Center have let Howard have it throughout the season, booing so badly that both his coach, Leonard Hamilton, and his general manager, Wes Unseld, who signed Howard to the big contract, asked the crowds to ease up.
Howard, who will be 28 on Wednesday, could have returned the fire to the fans but, instead, has quietly put together a solid body of work in Washington's season of pain.
The seven-year veteran from Michigan is averaging about 18 points a game, shooting about 48 percent from the field and 75 percent from the foul line, pulling down seven rebounds a game in about 37 minutes, and dishing out 2.8 assists.
Contrast those numbers with those of Miami's Anthony Mason and New York's Latrell Sprewell, who were added to the All-Star roster last week. Mason is averaging 15 points and nine rebounds, hitting 40 percent from the field and 81 percent of his free throws. He averages 40 minutes and three assists a game. Sprewell, meanwhile, is averaging about 17.5 points, five rebounds, 3.6 assists and 38 minutes, shooting 43 percent from the field and 75 percent from the line.
In other words, the choice is not easy, but neither Mason nor Sprewell is leading his respective team in scoring, and Howard has been the Wizards' first and, at times, only option, what with Mitch Richmond and Rod Strickland out for large chunks of the season, and Richard Hamilton splitting his time between starting and coming off the bench.
To cap it all off, Howard is a good guy, something that seems to be in short supply around professional sports these days, and (this bears repeating) has never cursed a fan or choked a coach. And his selection would mean something to him and to the long-suffering Wizards fans, as opposed to some players (re: Karl Malone), who try their hardest to duck the game.
NBA commissioner David Stern may have a chance to replace Toronto's Vince Carter, who hurt his knee last week, on the Eastern Conference roster. He should name Howard.
Milwaukee coach George Karl reached 600 career wins the sixth fastest of any coach in league history in the Bucks' 116-111 victory over Denver on Wednesday.
That ranks Karl only 17th on the all-time list. Three of the top 10 coaches with the most career wins have lifetime losing records. Name them. (Hint: Two of the three have Baltimore-Washington ties.)
Wounded warrior
More than a few wags have chuckled that fans voted Orlando's Grant Hill and Miami's Alonzo Mourning into the All-Star Game, even though the two have played a combined four games this season.
But Magic coach Doc Rivers says fans knew exactly what they were doing, especially in the case of Mourning, who has missed the season with a kidney ailment.
"I love it that he [Mourning] is on it," Rivers said. "We criticize Alonzo for playing with too much intensity, for being physical, for playing with emotion. That's exactly what we criticize most players for not doing throughout their careers. Because he does that, we criticize him for that. He might go too far, but if I was a coach, and I guess I am, that's what I would want.
"I'd rather have my guy be too emotional, play with too much intensity, and let me deal with that - rather than a guy who doesn't. Alonzo's always been misunderstood in that way. In Alonzo's case, [fans] were voting out of their hearts. It was a tribute to Alonzo."
Unbecoming conduct
Stern got it mostly right the other day, when he fined Philadelphia's Allen Iverson $5,000 for sticking out his tongue and using a derogatory term for gays, which was seen and heard by an NBC audience.
Iverson was taunted by Pacers fans during last Sunday's Indiana-Philadelphia game, though Pacers officials said their investigation of the incident found no evidence of fan abuse toward the Sixers guard.
Iverson said he turned to the game officials for help but got none and took matters into his own hands, which is never an appropriate solution for players.
Stern did the right thing in fining him, though a one-game suspension would have worked, too, given that the commissioner had criticized Iverson for using nearly identical language in a rap single last fall.
Still, Stern should send a warning to all teams to beef up the protection they provide to visiting players and coaches and should direct clubs to aggressively seek out the ultra-raucous idiots and toss them out permanently.
Bill Fitch (944-1,106); Dick Motta (935-1,017), who coached the 1977-78 Washington Bullets team that won the NBA championship; and Gene Shue (784-861), who not only coached but also played for the Bullets after becoming an All-American at Maryland.
"I'll tell you what - I saw Booth coming, and I've been watching DirecTV a lot lately. I felt like if I couldn't get it way up there, he would've blocked it. I laid it way up there high. Y'all should check to see if that ball's still up there." -Orlando guard Darrell Armstrong, after his layup over Washington's Calvin Booth helped beat the Wizards, 100-96, Wednesday.


House prices were a major part of both campaigns in the EU referendum. The Remain campaign predicted the economic shock of Brexit would sharply increase the cost of mortgages, resulting in a potential fall of 18% to UK property prices. In contrast, the Leave campaign has either dismissed these claims as cynical fearmongering, or actually welcomed them as a chance for priced-out renters to finally struggle on to the property ladder.
So, how is Brexit likely to impact on UK property prices?
Despite the arguments raging today, the fundamentals supporting the housing market have not really changed. Brexit has undeniably caused a degree of doubt and uncertainty in the market. Nevertheless, the top reasons why investors favour the United Kingdom will still be the same after Brexit.
Unlike many countries, the UK's system of law and order is not only historic, but also widely admired and highly efficient. Property rights of owners are well protected, meaning investors can feel secure that they truly hold the title of an asset.
Our schools and universities are world-class. This not only promotes wealth and jobs, domestically supporting the housing market, it also attracts international investors.
London is often ranked as the world's top financial capital. The UK is ideally positioned between east and west time zones. Our stock exchange is also the largest in Europe. English is the dominant language for global business. And we have the best financial compliance and regulatory standards available anywhere in the world.
As most people know, for many years the UK has not been able to build enough homes for our expanding number of residents (especially in densely-populated London). Demand for British property, domestically and internationally, has consistently been strong and delivered a return on investment. Simple market forces of supply and demand should see this momentum continue over the long-term.
However, if we 'follow the money', it's clear that international businesses still have great faith in the UK. Indeed, foreign direct investment has been massive in 2018, outpacing the value of France, the Netherlands and even the US. The tech sector is especially healthy, attracting more investment than France, Germany, and Sweden combined! This means that demand for commercial property is now particularly high, with commercial landlords receiving strong interest from China and East Asia.

[:en]Voice Recognition – Bots – Artificial Intelligence meet Banking & Insurance[:]
04 Sep [:en]Voice Recognition – Bots – Artificial Intelligence meet Banking & Insurance[:]
[:en]Voice Recognition technology is already gaining traction in the insurance industry. In early January, Fukoku Mutual Life decided to make 34 employees redundant in favor of artificial intelligence. The IBM Watson technology is capable of analyzing and interpreting an unstructured text, audio, and video data to calculate payouts. Around the same time, Aviva announced that it had created a new skill for Amazon Echo's voice-activated intelligent assistant, Alexa. Customers can now ask Alexa for over 300 insurance-related definitions. Voice recognition will shape the future of insurance interactions.
Capital One is the first financial services company to sign up to the voice application platform Cortana. It has used existing voice technology to enable customers to manage their money efficiently through a hands-free, natural audible conversation with Cortana.
Earlier this year, CapOne and Amazon teamed up to put the Capital One "Skill" app on the Amazon Echo, allowing customers who have the Echo or Echo Dot (anything with Alexa) to access their bank accounts using their voice. Even an Amazon spokesman admitted that CapOne is "early to the game," although other banking giants, such as Wells Fargo, have been quoted saying that they are looking into the potential uses of voice technology and virtual assistants. —
Santander customers will be able to make payments with their voice by talking to their smartphone app, in yet another sign of the technological revolution that is transforming the banking industry.
Under a new pilot scheme, the company has revamped its voice recognition technology to allow customers to make transfers to existing payees by speaking to their iPhone SmartBank app. It is the first high street lender to offer the service and comes after the company launched its so-called "voice assistant banking" technology last year.
Santander first started to roll out the voice technology last March. Customers could give simple commands to the app, such as asking it to show historic transactions on their accounts.
The CIO said that updating the app to enable payments gives users "another channel of choice in how they wish to bank". Lenders are investing heavily in technology to keep up with changing consumer trends, as more people shop, work, and watch television online. The rapid growth in digital technology has driven the decline in traditional bank branches, which lenders are shutting at a rapid pace.
Think Silicon Valley meets Wall Street. Startups in financial technology – or fintech – are disrupting the industry by solving some of banking's biggest issues, especially in local banking and consumer finance. As more customer interactions move online, the geographic advantage of local, high street banks is diminishing. After all, why would you visit a bank branch down the street to borrow money when you can shop for better interest rates from the comfort of your couch using peer-to-peer lending platforms like Lending Club, Prosper and SoFi?
However, a new technology is bound to need refinements before it can be a useful asset. The challenge for chatbots is to understand and show some human emotion. Emotion is a core driver of customer loyalty and chatbots may lack the EI to understand complex customer scenarios. When it comes to business the chatbot needs to be polite, intelligent and helpful without pretending to be human.
The future is bright for voice technologies which promise to enrich our experiences with digital devices. Our voices are going to bridge the gap between human-machine conversations and will be an integral part of daily transactions.
We are undergoing a voice revolution. By the end of 2016, voice recognition errors were down to almost 5%, compared to almost 50% in the late '90s. In 2017 it seems that voice controlled organisers such as Amazon's Echo are likely to become part of everyday life.
HSBC, which has closed the most branches of any UK bank recently, said last month that it had experienced a near 40% drop in the number of people using its branches. TSB, which announced an extra 29 closures last week, admitted that "some locations are very quiet, serving fewer than 200 people a week". Meanwhile, Standard Chartered is moving heavily into radical new technologies that could one day see robots providing bespoke wealth advice and artificial intelligence answering customers' questions.

Q: Why mongodb logs commands in the log file and how to avoid that? OS: Windows 10/ Server 2012
Mongodb verison : 3.4.9
I have set the mongod --logPath and --quiet command line parameter
The logs are just growing beyond 100mb and not rotating. Seeing the logs I see lot of entries example:

I COMMAND  [conn9] command DBNAME.VERSIONS command: find {

How can I restrict mongodb to log these as I really do not care about the command

A: To increase the slowms value , follow the below steps:
For Exmple, If you want to increase the slowms vlaue to 500ms
db.setProfilingLevel(1, 500)

It will set the slowms to 500ms and will also turn on the profiling. So to stop the profiling, run the below command.
db.setProfilingLevel(0)

This can also be done by restarting MongoDB with the --slowms option.
Now, the commands will get logged in the log file only when the command takes more than 500ms to execute.

Clinton Grabs 4 Wins In Lead Over Sanders
By Steve Inskeep,
David Greene
Published March 16, 2016 at 2:11 AM PDT
And I'm Steve Inskeep in Tampa, Fla., where a woman walked yesterday into Christ the King Catholic Church. The church served as a polling place. And there, Denise Stewart (ph) cast her ballot in the Republican primary.
DENISE STEWART: You know, when you're young and you get into real estate - god, if I could be like Trump and, you know, stick my neck out and buy real estate and invest. So I have respected what he's done.
INSKEEP: She voted for the businessman she admires, becoming one little part of a massive primary day for him.
Donald Trump won several states, including the biggest - Denise Stewart's state of Florida. He did not manage a sweep but eliminated one opponent and moved closer to his party's nomination.
INSKEEP: You learn something about Trump's support from Denise Stewart, that voter here in Tampa. She broadens the popular image of who Trump supporters are. She owns a construction business. She lives in an upscale neighborhood of tree-lined streets and vast homes in Spanish style. She is convinced that Donald Trump would change the country for the better. She says he is a dealmaker and predicts that he would not really act on his more extreme promises.
Do you get into arguments when you say things like you're saying about Donald Trump?
STEWART: I don't usually say them in certain settings. So I pick - I pick and choose my words in mixed company.
INSKEEP: In fact, the very next Republican voter we met at that polling place called Trump a neofascist, who actually would act on his promises. That's the kind of criticism Stewart doesn't buy.
STEWART: There are conservatives that will not vote for him. I'm very upset with Republican Party, how they've treated him. And they aren't supporting him. And there's so many of us Republicans that are fed up with the Republican Party. And they aren't listening to our point of view. And by them fighting me more, they're pushing me out of their party is what they're doing. And I'm not the only one. I've got a circle of friends that feel the same way.
INSKEEP: Stewart backs Trump even though she thinks it's a long shot that he would really win the presidency. She feels doubtful that Trump or, for that matter, any Republican would win in November. Trump did however win the state of Florida's Republican primary yesterday. He crushed Marco Rubio, the home state senator, and drove him from the race. Trump won several states, in fact, although not Ohio. On that dramatic primary day, David and I were talking with voters in the two biggest states.
DAVID GREENE, HOST:
And they include a woman who feels very differently than the Trump voter we heard from in Florida. Jillian McCreigh lives in Parma, which is just south of Cleveland. She's a stay-at-home mom, also a part-time shift worker at McDonald's. And when we met her yesterday, she had just voted for the eventual Republican winner in Ohio, John Kasich.
Who did you vote for?
JILLIAN MCCREIGH: Kasich.
GREENE: OK. And why Kasich?
MCCREIGH: Because I like what he's done for the state of Ohio and I hate Donald Trump. I think he's a [expletive] bigot, so (laughter)...
GREENE: That's a very straight-forward, simple answer that you just gave.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: That's Jill.
GREENE: What do you like about Kasich? When you say he's done things for the state, I think people outside of Ohio, you know, would - aren't familiar with it.
MCCREIGH: He's brought - he's balanced our budget. He brought jobs to Ohio. And I think he's just has the best interest of Ohioans. And so I - honestly though, I don't think he has enough - people don't know him well enough.
GREENE: She doesn't think he'll win. Earlier, we heard that Trump voter in Florida who thinks her candidate can't really win either. Jillian McCreigh thinks the same thing about Kasich. But she thought it was important to stop Donald Trump.
MONTAGNE: And I'm curious, is there - both of you - is there a lot of that kind of voting, what people call strategic voting?
INSKEEP: You know, David and I were talking earlier. We encountered a lot of that in both Ohio and here in Florida. But the bottom line, Renee, is that Trump gained many delegates and has one fewer opponent today.
GREENE: Although, Ted Cruz also gained delegates. And John Kasich certainly gained some standing in the race. And this state was also a big state for Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side. People thought she might struggle in Ohio against Bernie Sanders just like she did in Michigan. She did not struggle. She won the support of people like Debra Lee, who is semi-retired. We also met her at that polling station in Parma.
DEBRA LEE: It was a hard decision. I really like Bernie Sanders. But I think Hillary will be the best to continue the policies that I like. And I think she has the experience.
GREENE: Some people suggest that Bernie Sanders has made Hillary Clinton a better candidate going into November. I mean, do you see it that way? The way this has played...
LEE: I do. I do. I think that he has brought income and equality to the forefront. And I do believe she will have to address that. And I think she will have to take a look at some of her - I mean, you know, she's survived for so long in politics, which I think is unique and - especially for a woman being a trailblazer without many people in front of her. So I do think he has pushed her on that issue.
GREENE: And now with the support of people like Deborah Lee, Hillary Clinton has taken another big step towards her party's nomination.
INSKEEP: She also won other states, including the biggest prize here in Florida. And that is surely a disappointment to a woman we met yesterday in West Tampa. She is Elizabeth Panera (ph). She's 30. And she just walked out of a polling place at a senior center.
ELIZABETH PANERA: I just voted. I'm really excited. I haven't felt this excited since Obama.
INSKEEP: Really?
PANERA: Yeah.
INSKEEP: Who did you vote for?
PANERA: Bernie.
INSKEEP: You voted for Bernie Sanders.
PANERA: Yes.
INSKEEP: What excites you?
PANERA: Just the change that hopefully he will be able to bring to this country.
INSKEEP: Panera said she wants fresh thinking, new ideas. She likes Sanders' label as a socialist. She thinks he might help the kind of people that she meets as a social worker if he could win. But it was not a big day for her candidate. And she has another reason to feel troubled. She is Mexican-American. She came to this country at age 11. She is a citizen. And she was watching yesterday as a Florida victory neared for the front-runner on the Republican side.
What will you be thinking if you wake up and find that Donald Trump is the person who's won the Republican primary in Florida, in your state?
PANERA: I would be so disappointed and heartbroken. I would - I mean, right now I don't feel hopeless about the American people as a whole. But, I mean, that would - that would break me a little bit.
INSKEEP: You know, more than once in our voter interviews people said Donald Trump scares them. They used that word. We even heard that from one Democrat who said he might vote for Trump if he gets a chance this fall.
GREENE: A lot of passion for Donald Trump in Ohio, in Florida and elsewhere. Though, last night's results do not end the Republican contest.
MONTAGNE: But they do leave Donald Trump in the place he has always preferred to be. And that's at the center of events.
INSKEEP: So let's review where we stand on this morning after another dramatic Tuesday. Hillary Clinton registered solid wins among Democrats in yesterday's primaries in her contest against Bernie Sanders. Donald Trump won Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, and the race was very close in Missouri. John Kasich won Ohio in the Republican primary and says he hopes to get a fresh look from the country.

Little Anthony asked me to be a judge for his Reach for the Stars Talent Contest. As you see in the picture of the flyer, the winner receives $500. Contrary to the flyer though, it will be held on Friday nights, not Tuesdays, but will still start at 8 p.m.
There will be 12 weeks of competition, 6 weeks of semi-finals, and a grand finale. Anyone who is interested and is over 21 should call 214-660-4799 to book a spot. There will be no drop-ins. The contest will be held at Harbor Point Club and Grill on Buckingham in Richardson. There are still spots open, so call to book a spot. Did I say the winner gets $500?
If you have been around Dallas a good while – particularly in music – you have heard of Little Anthony. Which would be Anthony Bellante, Jr. He played for years with his band around Dallas. He has taught kids to play a number of instruments and sing in his World Class Entertainers school and studio. He also has a CI-TV channel which will not only "broadcast" the talent contest, but also a few Christian shows. He also has a number of side businesses.
Anthony has held the talent contest for a number of years. It was affiliated with StarSearch in the 90's. Leann Rimes got her start after being in the contest. It's going to be fun, if nothing else. I'm looking forward to being a judge and performing. I don't watch the talent contests on television, but it will be interesting to be involved in one and get to play.
So call and book a spot or put it on your calendar to come hear some good talent. Audience response is always a factor. Harbor Point has pool tables, dart boards, and shuffleboard tables to keep your hands busy while you listen to the music. Not to mention the food and drinks.
