Remember the guy who swapped an old phone for a Porsche? Well, this is another shining example of marvellous business talent involving phones and Porsches: I give you the Panamera key shaped mobile straight from China!
Thanks to Jason and his son, we all know that Porsche's four-door whale comes with a wireless key hidden into a toy version of the car. Nice, but can you call your friends with it? Not at all. So it is rubbish. No worries though, the Chinese fixed that for you without ever being asked to.
Just like the iPhone 4 from next door, the Panamera phone is packed with technology. Not only does it come with Bluetooth, mp3 ringtones and full frame video playback on that vivid 1.2 inch display, but can also handle gifs and SD cards up to 8 gigabytes. That's a lot of music for your entertainment while riding on a bus. Language options include among others English, Portuguese, Russian and for some reason, Hungarian as well, which is a clear sign for me to do some impulse shopping.
When the guys from BMW gave me a flash drive shaped like a BMW key (instead of the new M5 for half an hour, bastards!), my first thought was that it would be an interesting experiment to head town to some dodgy club and show it off casually put at the bar. After all, some girls who are really into BMW owners are also pretty easy to fool.

Spider-Man: Set To Have a Dorky Fight Sequence in Civil War, Anticipation about the Reboot, And More
Spider-Man as we all know is going to be introduced in Captain America: Civil War. The new image of Spider-Man that has been developed by Marvel and Sony is not going to be introduced to the Marvel Cinematic World in the way that is mentioned in the comic book.
Cinemablend has informed that Spider-Man is set to have a major fight sequence in the upcoming movie and most of the Spider-Man scenes in Captain America: Civil War has been shot and if rumors are to be believed, it is going to be nothing like the super hero fights we are so used to seeing in the Marvel movies.
Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War will face an enemy, but the manner in which he will tackle the enemy will be nothing like that of a superhero. The avid comic fans will be well aware that in Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker has just become Spider-Man and he is still learning the ropes of being a superhero and this explains why he will get into a dorky fight sequence in the movie.
Peter Parker aka Spider-Man will win the fight, but not without making himself look like a complete idiot. However, that's okay since the script demands so. The upcoming movie outing that will see Marvel and Sony giving Spider-Man a complete image make-over is going to be one that traces how Peter Parker becomes the web-swinging superhero.
Initial reports said that Tom Holland's Spider-Man will make a small cameo in Captain America: Civil War, but there are rumors that suggest that Spider-Man is just not going to make a small appearance and disappear. He will get involved in the fight and in a prominent way.
Birth.Death.Movies has come up with information that Tom Holland has not been cast in Captain America: Civil War. He has only lent his voice for the role. There is no point in hiring him for a role which will anyway see him donning the mask and will also require a stunt man for the action sequences.
Fans are excited about the encounter that Spider-Man will have with Tony Stark aka Iron Man. How the two will throw jabs at each other about the design of their suits. There are rumors that Tony Stark might also train the web-swinging superhero.
Marvel and Sony have decided to give the Spider-Man franchise a complete facelift. The Amazing Spiderman did a good business, but the movie wasn't as successful as Marvel would have wanted it to be.
With plans of incorporating Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel is set to make Spider-Man a brand like Iron Man and Captain America. The Spider-Man plot is well known to all the fans and Sony and Marvel decided to give it a new look.
This time round, Spider-Man is going to be a high school kid, instead of someone who is already a full-fledged action hero. The movie will depict a young Spidey and hence Andrew Garfield was replaced for an actor who could portray the role of both a high-school kid and a super hero with equal ease.
There was a huge hunt for who would be the perfect face for Spider-Man in the upcoming films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the studio finally zeroed down on Tom Holland.
Spider-Man movie writers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley said the Peter Parker is a complete geek. He is dorky and awkward and the jokes and comments he makes in the movies will bring that out for the audience.
The writers said that everyone knows that Peter Parker was bit by a spider and that Uncle Ben dies, so they will not be exploring that in detail.
By the looks of it, the new Spider-Man movie will explore how Peter Parker, the geeky dork comes to terms with his powers and learns how to handle it and use it to his advantage. There are rumors that Kraven the Hunter might be the villain in the new Spider-Man movie.

Drugs and pacemakers for transient loss of consciousness
Neurally mediated reflex syncope (including fainting) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness. It is caused by a sudden decrease in blood pressure and/or lowering of heart rate. The main treatment goal therefore is to increase blood pressure and heart rate. In most patients, this can be achieved by non-pharmacological treatment measures (e.g. adequate fluid and salt intake, physical counterpressure manoeuvres). In patients not responding to this treatment, pharmacological or pacemaker treatment might be considered. We investigated the effectiveness of these treatments for different subtypes of neurally mediated reflex syncope, namely vasovagal syncope (fainting), carotid sinus syncope (fainting due to pressure on the neck) and situational syncope (fainting when passing urine of faeces or swallowing). Where data were available, we determined the treatment effectiveness for different outcome measures including occurrence of syncope, amount of (pre-)syncopes per year during follow-up and quality of life.
We included 46 randomized studies, 40 on vasovagal syncope and six on carotid sinus syncope. No studies on situational syncope matched the criteria for inclusion in our review. Studies in general were small with a median size of 42 patients. A wide range of control treatments were used with 22 studies using placebo control treatment. Blinding of patients and treating physicians was applied in eight studies. The type of outcomes reported by studies varied considerably with only 16 studies reporting on non-provoked recurrences during follow-up. As a consequence of all these differences, results varied considerably between studies and between types of outcomes. In some studies significant results were reported for one type of outcome, but not for other outcomes.
We conclude that there is insufficient evidence either to support or torefute the use of any of the pharmacological or pacemaker treatments for vasovagal syncope and carotid sinus syncope.
Authors' conclusions:
Thereis insufficient evidence to support the use of any of the pharmacological or pacemaker treatments for vasovagal syncope and carotid sinus syncope. Larger studies using patient relevant outcomes are needed.
Read the full abstract...
Neurally mediated reflex syncope is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness. In patients not responding to non-pharmacological treatment, pharmacological or pacemaker treatment might be considered.
To examine the effects of pharmacological therapy and pacemaker implantation in patients with vasovagal syncope, carotid sinus syncope and situational syncope.
Search strategy:
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) on The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2008), PubMed (1950 until February 2008), EMBASE on OVID (1980 until February 2008) and CINAHL on EBSCOhost (1937 until February 2008). No language restrictions were applied.
We included parallel randomized controlled trials and randomized cross-over trials of pharmacological treatment (beta-blockers, fludrocortisone, alpha-adrenergic agonists, selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors, ACE inhibitors, disopyramide, anticholinergic agents or salt tablets) or dual chamber pacemaker treatment. Studies were included if pharmacological or pacemaker treatment was compared with any form of standardised control treatment (standard treatment), placebo treatment, or (other) pharmacological or pacemaker treatment. We did not include non-randomized studies.
Data collection and analysis:
Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias. Using a standardised data extraction form, they extracted characteristics and results of the various studies. In a consensus meeting they discussed any disagreements that had occurred during data extraction. If no agreement could be reached, a third reviewer was asked to make a decision. Summary estimates with 95% confidence intervals of treatment effect were calculated using relative risks, rate ratios or weighted means differences depending on the type of outcome reported.
Main results:
We included 46 randomized studies, 40 on vasovagal syncope and six on carotid sinus syncope. No studies on situational syncope matched the criteria for inclusion in our review. Studies in general were small with a median sample size of 42. A wide range of control treatments were used with 22 studies using a placebo arm. Blinding of patients and treating physicians was applied in eight studies. Results varied considerably between studies and between types of outcomes.
For vasovagal syncope, the occurrence of syncope upon provocational head-up tilt testing was lower upon treatment with beta-blockers, ACE-inhibitors and anticholinergic agents compared to standard treatment. For carotid sinus syncope, the occurrence of syncope upon carotid sinus massage was lower on midodrine treatment compared to placebo treatment in one study.

Cerebral Palsy and Medical Malpractice Claims

Fighting for Sufferers of Cerebral Palsy
When a child is being born, many things need to go right in order for that birth to be completed without an unfortunate incident, for birth is one of the times during life when any human being is most vulnerable to harm. While everyone would like every birth to result in a healthy child, the sad truth is that things can and do go wrong, and one of the most common results of a mistake made during the delivery process is the contraction of cerebral palsy. Below is a brief overview of this issue, but if your child has been diagnosed with this condition, seek the help of a Miami birth injury lawyer as soon as possible.
Cerebral palsy is a term that actually describes a group of disorders that affect a person's brain and central nervous system. Generally, cerebral palsy results from damage that's done to the brain tissue and a person who contracts this condition will generally struggle with basic motor skills and other tasks that most people take for granted. In addition, there is no cure for cerebral palsy, which means that those who suffer from it will face a lifetime of struggle.
How is Cerebral Palsy Contracted?
Cerebral palsy can be contracted in any number of ways, but in terms of the potential for legal liability, cerebral palsy can be contracted because of some sort of brain injury that's suffered during the birthing process. Specifically, if the medical professionals in charge of the birth do not recognize that the child's brain is cut off from oxygen for too long, cerebral palsy could be the result. In addition, an injury that's inflicted on the head can also lead to this unfortunate diagnosis.
How Medical Professionals Can be Liable for this Diagnosis
When it comes to holding medical professionals accountable for this lifelong condition, the proof that must be made can be quite complicated. A plaintiff must show that the medical professionals failed to recognize or repair a problem that arose that other medical professionals would have recognized and alleviated before permanent harm resulted. However, parents who suddenly realize that their child has contracted cerebral palsy are generally in no state to attempt to work through a complicated legal situation.
Instead, those who have suffered through this experience should seek the help of Miami cerebral palsy lawyers who have been holding medical practitioners accountable for the harm they have caused for many years. Contact Bernstein & Maryanoff today to schedule a free initial consultation.

WHY DOES THE BCSC'S STAR LITIGATOR OLUBODE FAGBAMIYE CONTINUE TO HIDE?
It has now been over 9 months since we contacted Mr. Fagbamiye by phone (and then by letter) and he continues to hide from answering simple questions that would allow the former investors in both FCC and DCF to hear first hand whether or not staff at the BC Securities Commission acted in bad faith when preparing legal documents in our matter AND whether or not they erred in not taking the Settlement Offer to the Executive Director of the BCSC (whom we were told was the ONLY person at the BCSC that would be able to accept our settlement offer.
Mr. Fagbamiye is hiding something and we need to get to the bottom of it once and for all. I am calling on all former investors in FCC and DCF to call, write, email, fax, text, etc. Fagbamiye and ask him to answer these questions.
They are going to have to answer them sooner or later – the walls at the BCSC are NOT going to allow them to not answer these questions for much longer. Our story is getting bigger by the day and as certain politicians that are appearing to aid the staff at the Commission are replaced – those that have acted in bad faith are going to be exposed.

I'm right behind this initiative. With two daughters in (or going into) freelance creative / performance industries and wanting kids one day this is just what's needed.
Marvellous mothers who make go forth!
Love Mother's who make and it's supported me this past year!!
Look forward to seeing this project develop.
This donation was made on behalf of Hondartza Fraga and Lorna Johnson: Two, valued artists and mothers. Merry Christmas, ladies!
Fingers crossed as you enter the last 24 hours.
Best of luck. Mothers Who Make has been a fantastic source of support and friendship for me and I very much hope it can continue to be there for mothers in the future.
Fantastic initiative to empower artists who are also raising the next generation!
Sorry it couldn't be more! Times are tight but I really hope this works for you because it's a unique and incredible resource.
You had me at women. You had me at artists. You had me at mothers. Good luck!
very best of luck with the campaign !
Keep this great groups going and growing!
An idea close to my heart - being both a mother and a maker can be challenging, so support like this is invaluable.
Very happy to be supporting this venture. I am a mother of a 3 and 4 year old and make concerts for children. We are called the Kids' Concert Company and are also in the process of applying to the Arts Council for funding. I would be very interested in joining or setting up a hub.

Q: Is there a method to forcibly pass a non-responsive function? Sorry if this is obvious. I have never had this problem before. I have a loop that calls a problematic function. 99% of the time the function returns a string correctly. The other 1%, it does nothing at all. It does not raise any errors, it does not return anything, it does not allow my code to continue to the next line. I had considered executing the loop in one thread and a timer in another thread with the hopes of terminating the thread that has the loop, but I've read that you have to wait for a thread to finish before it can close. Does anyone know a method to either forcibly terminate a thread or forcibly continue onto some other line when the code is hung up?
When I interrupt the code I get a call back the specific line in the library that it hangs up on, but I'm not experienced enough to confidently go in and problem solve someone else's functions like that.
To clarify, I'm looking for a work around. Not a fix for the function I'm calling.
I don't think it will help, but here's the loop in question
while(True):
    start = time.perf_counter()
    FEN_board = [["","","","","","","",""],["","","","","","","",""],["","","","","","","",""],["","","","","","","",""],\
    ["","","","","","","",""],["","","","","","","",""],["","","","","","","",""],["","","","","","","",""],]

    t1 = threading.Thread(target = find_white_pieces)
    t2 = threading.Thread(target = find_black_pieces)
    t1.start()
    t2.start()
    t1.join()
    t2.join()

    print(create_FEN())
    FEN = create_FEN()
    FEN = FEN + ' w'
    stockfish.set_fen_position(FEN)

    move = stockfish.get_best_move() # <---- The function that halts my code completely

    print(move)
    print(f"Completed in:  {time.perf_counter() - start} seconds")

File "c:\Users\tomma\Desktop\code stuff\python files\scratch_work.py", line 165, in     move = stockfish.get_best_move()  File "C:\Users\tomma\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\stockfish\models.py", line 257, in get_best_move    text = self._read_line()  File "C:\Users\tomma\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\stockfish\models.py", line 109, in _read_line    return self._stockfish.stdout.readline().strip()  File "C:\Users\tomma\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 22, in decode    def decode(self, input, final=False):KeyboardInterrupt

A: I'm not sure I understand your question. If it returns nothing, do you mean it returns a Nonetype object or an empty string.
Because in such a case you just do
if func() == np.nan() or func() == '':
    continue

If it throws an error, you could do
try:
    func()
except:
    continue

Conditions › Back Pain › Low Back Pain › Colchicine in the Treatment of Acute Low Back Pain
Colchicine in the Treatment of Acute Low Back Pain
Written by Gerard Malanga, MD
Colchicine: Isn't that normally used for gout? Learn more about how this anti-inflammatory medication can help with acute low back pain.
Colchicine has been regarded by some as the most powerful anti-inflammatory agent known to man. The beneficial effects of colchicine in the treatment of gout are apparently secondary to its ability to inhibit both the metabolic and phagocytic activity and migration of granulocytes. Colchicine's inhibition of the release of histamine containing granules from mast cells is also believed secondary to its interference with granule transportation by the microtubular system. While beneficial in the treatment of the crystal-induced inflammation observed in gout and pseudogout, colchicine is only occasionally effective in the treatment of other types of arthritides (arthritis).
Resistant Disc Disorders: Colchicine May Help
Over the past 30 years, Rask has treated thousands of patients with resistant disc disorders with oral and intravenous colchicine and has noted a 90-95% improvement rate. Since 1979, he has published the results of his uncontrolled studies, some involving up to 500 patients, who have suggested significant therapeutic benefits from colchicine therapy with fewer adverse effects than typically associated with the use of aspirin.
In a 1985 double blind study of 39 patients with low back pain of at least two months duration, Meek compared combined intravenous and oral colchicine treatment with placebo. Patients in the treatment group received colchicine .6-mg orally b.i.d. (twice a day) for 14 days and one-mg IV (intravenous) on days one, four and eight of the 14 day study period.

Conclusion: Acute Low Back Pain and Medication
Side Effects of Colchicine
While no real effect from placebo administration was observed, the treatment group demonstrated significant improvements in pain, weakness, leg raising limitations, and muscle spasm. Adverse effects from colchicine administration were documented in only one patient in the form of a burn at the IV site. In a double blind study of oral colchicine in the treatment of low back pain, Schnebel and Simmons compared oral colchicine with placebo in 34 patients with low back symptoms of less than three months duration. Over the 12-week study period, both groups of patients continued in a comprehensive physical therapy program and were administered NSAIDs and muscle relaxants. No significant differences in therapeutic response were noted between the treatment and placebo groups, but an increased number of adverse effects, mainly diarrhea and vomiting, were observed in the colchicine group. This study has several limitations, including a small sample size, multiple etiologies of low back pain, poor patient compliance, and the use of concomitant treatments.
Contraindications for Colchicine Use
Colchicine use is contraindicated those patients with serious gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic or cardiac disease. Colchicine can also harm the fetus when used during pregnancy. When administered intravenously for the treatment of an acute gouty attack, the total dosage over the first 24-hours should not exceed four milligrams, as greater cumulative dosages have been associated with multiple organ failure and death.
Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, are typically the earliest and most common adverse effects associated with colchicine over dosage. These gastrointestinal side effects can be almost entirely avoided with intravenous use. Colchicine has also been noted to cause a transient leukopenia (abnormal decrease in the number of white blood cells), which is soon replaced with a leukocytosis (abnormal increase in the number of white blood cells). Myopathy and neuropathy have been noted in patients with impaired renal function receiving colchicine treatment.
Colchicine and Low Back Pain
The use of colchicine in the treatment of the acute low back pain patient is not commonly practiced. While some practitioners have found colchicine effective in this patient population, others have not. Further investigation in this area is needed before colchicine use can be recommended for the low back pain patient. These studies may be helpful in further defining colchicine's place among other available anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents.

It is administered by an elected body known as the Bodoland Territorial Council which came into existence under the terms of a peace agreement signed in February 2003 and its autonomy was further extended by an agreement signed in January 2020.
Bodos are the single largest tribal community in Assam, making up over 5-6 per cent of the state's population.
They have controlled large parts of Assam in the past.
The four districts in Assam Kokrajhar, Baksa, Udalguri and Chirang that constitute the Bodo Territorial Area District (BTAD), are home to several ethnic groups.
About the Dispute
The Bodos have had a long history of separatist demands, marked by armed struggle.
In 1966-67, the demand for a separate state called Bodoland was raised under the banner of the Plains Tribals Council of Assam (PTCA), a political outfit.
In 1987, the All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) renewed the demand. "Divide Assam fifty-fifty", was a call given by the ABSU's then leader, Upendra Nath Brahma.
The unrest was a fallout of the Assam Movement (1979-85), whose culmination the Assam Accord addressed the demands of protection and safeguards for the "Assamese people", leading the Bodos to launch a movement to protect their own identity.
In December 2014, separatists killed more than 30 people in Kokrajhar and Sonitpur.
In the 2012 Bodo-Muslim riots, hundreds were killed and almost 5 lakh were displaced.
About National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB)
The National Democratic Front of Boroland was an armed separatist outfit which seeks to obtain a sovereign Boroland for the Bodo people.
It is designated as a terrorist organisation by the Government of India.
NDFB traces its origin to Bodo Security Force, a militant group formed in 1986.
Alongside political movements, armed groups have also sought to create a separate Bodo state.
In October 1986, the prominent group Bodo Security Force (BdSF) was formed by Ranjan Daimary.
The BdSF subsequently renamed itself as the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), an organisation that is known to be involved in attacks, killings, and extortions.
In the 1990s, Indian security forces launched extensive operations against the group, causing the latter to flee to bordering Bhutan.
In Bhutan, the group faced stiff counter-insurgency operations by the Indian Army and the Royal Bhutan Army in the early 2000s.
With the approval of Union Cabinet, Model Tenancy Act (MTA) has been circulated to all States / Union Territories (UTs) on 7th June, 2021 for adoption by way of enacting fresh legislation or amending existing rental laws suitably for future tenancies.
About Model Tenancy Act
Model Tenancy Act, 2019, a tenancy law in India, was designed to rebuild tenancy market seeking to replace archaic rental laws of India and to solve housing availability deficit.
Model Tenancy Act aims to promote rental housing by balancing and protecting the interests of both the tenants and landlords by regulating renting of premises in an efficient and transparent manner through an adjudicating mechanism for speedy dispute resolution.
The Act seeks to penalize recalcitrant tenants for refusing to move out of their rental properties after the agreed-upon rental period expires. The landlord will be able to claim double of the monthly rent for two months and four times of the monthly rent after that as compensation.
The Act stipulates that a landlord cannot refuse to provide essential utilities and access to common facilities. This has been a fairly common grouse of tenants in the past.
The landlord will also not be able to increase the rent without giving at least three months' notice to the tenant, and cannot increase rent in the middle of a rental term.
In order to bring transparency, fix accountability and promote fairness in the rental housing segment, the policy proposes setting up of a rent authority.
The Act will help in achieving the target of "Housing for All by 2022".
To ensure speedy dispute resolution it is provisioned that Rent Court and Rent Tribunal both shall endeavour to dispose the cases within sixty days and in case of delay in disposal, reasons for delay are mandated to be recorded in writing.
For disputes related to essential services, it is provided that the Rent Authority, after examining the matter, may pass an interim order directing restoration of supply of essential services immediately. Further, Rent Authority shall conduct an enquiry within one month of filing of application by the tenant in this regard.
Under the provisions of MTA, the information and documents submitted by landlord and tenant for intimation of tenancy will be in sole custody of Rent Authority.

Car Guy
What's in the Automotive News?
by Eric Peters
California officials are, apparently, "mulling" a ban on cars with internal combustion engines, according to an article in the industry trade publication, Automotive News. If they more than mull and pass a ban, CA would be the first American state to do so — following the example set by several European states, including most recently the UK.
Part of the reason it is happening so quickly is because of amen-corner support from American publications like Automotive News.
Perhaps they should reconsider changing the title of their publication. Because it isn't "news" when you editorialize — and AN editorializes egregiously in its "news" coverage.
Have a look:
The internal combustion engine's days could be numbered in California, where officials are mulling whether a ban on sales of polluting autos is needed to achieve long-term targets for cleaner air.
"Polluting"? The mind of the reader instantly conjures images of respiratory masks and blue smoke coughing out of tailpipes — which one sees coming out of the tailpipes of new cars as infrequently as one finds straight-up news sans editorializing in Automotive News.
AN is more-than-tacitly agreeing with the "officials" who are "mulling" a ban on internal combustion engines by conceding the premise: IC cars are polluting fiends and must be dealt with.
How else can the sentence quoted be interpreted?
Fait meet accompli.
The premise isn't questioned. No context is given. The AN editorialist does not adduce an iota of evidence to support the smear. He — perhaps she? — merely deploys the smear, which the reader is expected to swallow whole without bothering to chew.
This is of course absolutely necessary to further the agenda of the "officials" who are "mulling" the ban on internal combustion engines — their leader being Governor Moonbat.
It cannot be questioned whether IC engines pollute — nor how much defined.
So, let's do that.
Most people who aren't car people probably don't know that the EPA itself awards the designation, Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), to internal combustion engines powering numerous currently-in-production cars. These are not electric cars or even hybrid cars. They are simply cars with internal combustion engines that emit so little in the way of harmful effluents that the regulatory Grand Inquisitor itself — the EPA — classifies them officially as Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles.
And the rest — the ones that don't quite meet the PZEV bar — are photo-finish close. The difference is measurable in terms of perhaps 1 percent — usually a fraction of 1 percent — PZEV vs. the not-quite-PZEV.
There is no such beast as a new car that "pollutes" — if that word is understood to mean what it ought to mean. That is to say, what it once meant.
Once upon a time.
If you dial back the clock to 1966, the year before the very first (and very basic) efforts were made to reduce and control the unhealthful byproducts of internal combustion — mostly the byproducts of imperfect combustion, such as unburned hydrocarbons — you would find that, indeed, internal combustion-powered cars polluted.
A great deal.
Fast forward to 1975 — the first year that catalytic converters came into widespread use. These chemically converted the byproducts of imperfect combustion within the car's exhaust system — before they reached the exhaust tip and entered the surrounding environment.
Cars polluted a great deal less. On the order of 50 percent less.
Consider this the lowest-hanging fruit.
Move forward again to the mid-1980s. Fuel delivery had become infinitely more precise via the replacement of the mechanical carburetor with computer-controlled fuel injection, which could (and did) maintain the optimum air-fuel ratio at all times, continuously self-adjusting.
Around this same time, catalytic converters got more sophisticated as well.
Pollution declined yet again — and once again, by double digit percentages. By the early 1990s, internal combustion engines produced on the order of 85-90 percent less in the way of harmful exhaust byproducts, via the double-pronged advances in controlling the combustion process and treating the exhaust after the fact.
Even more precise fuel delivery (port fuel-injection) and ever-smarter-engine controls chalked another few percent off the remainder.
We are now — and have been, for the past several years — at the point that any new car's internal combustion engine is almost "zero emissions" in terms of the harmful things that formerly smogged the skies and formerly caused health problems in humans.
Current-year cars are 97-98 percent "clean" at the tailpipe — according to the EPA's own standards.
This is not 100 percent "clean," of course. But then neither is the electric car, notwithstanding its "zero emissions" regulatory honorific. It may not emit at the tailpipe. But emissions are certainly created during the manufacture of its hundreds of pounds of batteries and at the utility generating plants that produce the electricity upon which it depends for locomotion.
But the point here is that there is little meaningful difference between the "zero emissions" electric car and the Partial Zero Emissions internal combustion car — or, for the matter, the next-down-the-ladder IC-engined car.
The battle has been won. All cars are extremely "clean."
Some, however, are more politically correct than others.
Automotive News does not delve into these distinctions. Instead, its writers parrot the politically correct line.
The car press used to know about cars — and generally liked them, too. The typical car scribe was, if not a gearhead, at least a tinkerer who understood mechanical things and appreciated them.
He drove — and liked driving.
The people in the car press today are a different species. They are people such as the egregiously editorializing author of the article we've just dissected — and the person who urged some months ago that the Dodge Demon be banned. They seem to hate cars and loathe driving — and those who do not loathe it.
Brock Yates is spinning in his grave.

Need, not age, should dictate discounts
By William Ecenbarger
LANCASTER, PA.
I lined up at the Amtrak ticket window behind four college students, androgynous in their jeans and sweat shirts, each looking like an unmade bed. Their canvas packs and plastic shopping bags, bearing sociology books and dirty laundry, were piled on the floor beside them. The red-vested agent behind the barred ticket window told them the fare to New York was $48, then waited patiently while they ransacked their pockets for dollars and change.
I stepped in behind them as they walked away. "New York, one way," I said. The agent cast an appraising eye at me then declared, "$41.80 - with the senior discount." I passed him my credit card with the $25,000 limit.
Age has its privileges in America, and one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who has reached a certain age - in some cases as low as 55 - is automatically entitled to a dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life. Eligibility is determined not by one's need but by the date on one's birth certificate. Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a routine part of many businesses - as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.
Senior citizen discounts are an idea with wings but no landing gear. Originally intended to give the needy elderly a break on a few necessities, they have become a technique for marketing luxury items. Originally open to persons 65 and older, the eligibility age has been dropping steadily. Accompanying this drop has been a rise in the number of older Americans, and demographers already have colored 21st century America gray.
Just as I was at the Amtrak window, people with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them; yet, like millions of Americans above age 60, I am healthy and solvent. Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that "elderly" and "needy" are synonymous. Perhaps that once was true, but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population. To be sure, there is economic diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are impoverished. But most of us aren't.
It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans. Moreover, they are a direct irritant in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.
Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involves a transfer of resources from the young to the old. Employment is another sore point. Buoyed by laws and court decisions, more and more older Americans are spurning the retirement dinner watch and the pat on the back in favor of staying on the job - thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers. And generational conflict is being stimulated by scenes like the one in Amtrak's Lancaster station.
Far from the trickle of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of members who don't need them.
Few would dispute that the needy elderly should be helped wherever possible, but giving should be according to need, not according to generation. Families have always recognized the need principle.
It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can't take care of themselves and need special treatment; and they threaten the creation of a new myth, that the elderly are self-seeking ingrates who are taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups. Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against - discrimination by age.

Q: Issue related to Exist method I am facing issues while using Exist method in QTP..As if i use Exist with If else then it is working fine...but if used directly then not working...
Ex:
Browser("Home").Page("Home_2").WebEdit("ctl00$uxMNJDefaultContentPlace").Click
Browser("Home").Page("Home_2").WebEdit("ctl00$uxMNJDefaultContentPlace").Set DataTable("mfgpartnumber", dtGlobalSheet)  ''#Read mfg# from datasheet

Browser("Home").Page("Home_2").Image("ctl00$uxMNJDefaultContentPlace").FireEvent "onmouseover"

wait(15)

Browser("Home").Page("Shopping Cart").WebElement("$3.99").Output CheckPoint("Shoppingcart_subtotal")

Browser("Home").Page("Shopping Cart").Check CheckPoint("Shopping Cart_price_2")

''#Browser("Home").Page("Shopping Cart").WebElement("$3.99").Output CheckPoint("$3.99")

Browser("Home").Page("Shopping Cart").Image("ctl00$uxMNJDefaultContentPlace").FireEvent "onmouseover"

wait(5)

Browser("Home").Page("Edit Shipping Address").Link("Continue").Click
wait(5)

Browser("Home").Page("Order Shipping Method").Link("Continue").Click
wait(5)

Here i want to replace wait(_ to some another method like Exist to improve performance...
Can anybody help me to sort it out..,.
Thanks,
Guddu G

A: @guddu
Since you wait for the browser to load another page, use Browser.Sync where applicable.
If an object does not appear right after a page is reloaded, use .Exist method with a parameter.
Example:
boolRC = Browser("Home").Page("Shopping Cart").WebElement("$3.99").Exist(15)

This way, you give up to 15 seconds for an object to appear. If the object appears earlier, your script moves on faster.
If the object becomes available for operating with a delay after it's appeared, use WaitProperty method, as @katmoon pointed out.
Finally, you can implement your own synchronization function with customizable parameters like event (appear/disappear, etc.), time-out, property to check...
Example: http://automation-beyond.com/2009/08/20/gui-object-synchronization-custom-function/
Thank you,
Albert Gareev
http://automation-beyond.com/

A: Wait – method is used to instruct the QTP to wait the execution
process based on
the specified time only but not on any condition
E.g. Wait 5 (or) Wait(5) '5 Seconds
This method is not advisable.Always use dynamic wait to speed up the execution.
WaitProperty – method is used to instruct QTP to wait the execution
process until it
matches with the object property value based on the specified time.
E.g. Browser("Welcome: Mercury Tours").WaitProperty "name" "Welcome:
Mercury Tours" 5000

*

*property name  - "name"

*property value   -  "Welcome: Mercury Tours"

*5000 - number of milli seconds to wait
Dim i=0
do
 i=i+1
bstatus = browser().exist(1) ' "1" means it will wait max 1 sec then it will proceed further
if i>15 then  'here specify the wait time(i mentioned 15 sec)
exit do

End if
loop until bstatus=true
By providing synchronization point tester tries to match the execution
speed of QTP and Application because it may happen that the next
operation that you are performing is depending on previous result and
it is not generated yet.
Default wait time for any object is 20 second and object is not
appearing in 20 second than that may fail script. So to avoid such
condition we use Synchronization Points
Always use Waitproperty
Don't use hardcoded wait
Exist method will always return boolean value
Object.exist  or Browser().page().exist()  this will return a boolean value say true or false
blnStatus  = Browser().exist()
msgbox blnstatus   'return true or false

A: Hi This Is a simple function I'm using instead of wait and disabled property i think it may help.. Thank You..
Set NavigationTab = Browser ().Page().WebElement()
PerformWait ( 10 , 10 , NavigationTab )

Function PerformWait ( intDisableTime , intDelay , object )

if CheckExist ( intDelay , object ) Then

if ValidateDisabled ( object , intDisableTime ) Then

    object.Sync
    Reporter.ReportEvent 0 , "Element is ready to use" , "The  specified element is ready to use" & Date & Time

  Else

   Reporter.ReportEvent 3 , "Object Disabled." , "Object remains disabled after specified time : " & refDisableTime & Date & Time

End If

Else

Reporter.ReportEvent 3 , "Element not present." , "The specified element not present : " & Date & Time

End If

End Function

Function CheckExist ( intDelay , object )

object.RefreshObject

' -- validating the object is exist or not.
If object.Exist ( intDelay ) Then

 CheckExist = True

Else

 CheckExist = False

 End If

End Function

Function ValidateDisabled ( object , intDisableTime )

For Iterator = 1 To intDisableTime Step 1

' -- validating the object is disabled or not.
If object.GetROProperty ( "disabled" ) = 1 Then

    wait 1
    ValidateDisabled = False

Else

    ValidateDisabled = True
    Exit For

End If

Iterator = Iterator + 1
Next

End Function


Please only use this contact form in relation to paid projects and commissions, or for requests related to use of materials. In anticipation of questions about budgeting and schedules, an outline guide is provided below the form. We look forward to hearing from you.
Services are costed at a standard per-person-days rate for all disciplines, regardless of client or intended audience. Budget and schedule variation therefore are decided by project complexity.
With regards to full animation delivery, 2D motionography projects can be amongst those with the fastest turnaround. Perhaps as little as a 5 to 10 day minimum assuming a client-approved final script and a standard 1-3 minute duration.
Character animation inevitably adds complexity and sophistication to a project's requirements. For even the simplest of character-driven stories we advise a minimum 3 week (15 person days) delivery period.
Stop-motion projects, including LEGO animation entail material complexities which demand an extended pre' and post-production period. We advise you expect a 5 week (25 person days) minimum turnaround on projects of this type.
The above assumes a standard 1-3 minute film, with 1x animation artist person-days for the duration of a project. Assistant animators, musicians, voice artists etc. would be factored additionally subject to requirement.


With elections due to take place in a half-dozen Latin American nations over the next year, investors are anxiously following events in the region. They're expecting some significant changes.
On Wall Street and in London and Tokyo, institutional investors are keenly following the political events in Latin America these days, especially in major bond-issuing countries such as Brazil and Mexico but also in other key economies such as Colombia and Peru. Along with Bolivia and Chile, these countries are all slated to hold presidential elections between December and July. Ecuador may also hold elections during that period.
Combined, these polls will determine whether Latin America shifts further to the left or maintains the market-friendly policies that dominated the region in the 1990s. Already, leftist governments are in power in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela.
While the corruption scandal in Brazil that is toppling one after another of President Luiz Inácio "Lula" da Silva's closest aides is grabbing most of the news headlines out of the region, investors are just as keenly following developments in Mexico, where Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (popularly known as AMLO among friend and foe) leads all polls in the race to become the country's next president. AMLO is a longtime activist of the leftist Revolutionary Democratic Party and, until recently, mayor of Mexico City, one of the world's largest conurbations.
There is still widespread skepticism among economists in Mexico that AMLO will actually win. He still faces rivalry within his own party and will have to counter the effects of increased campaigning from other leading candidates as the election nears. "They expect AMLO to face strong opposition as the machinery gets going into the election," says Welch. He believes that AMLO will win in the end, though.
For international investors, the main concern is Brazil—by far the top bond issuer in Latin America and the origin of most of the region's ADR's in New York. "Brazil is the overriding concern," says Welch. The corruption scandal has been bad news for investors, who had been generally pleased with Lula. And, until recently, he'd been a sure-bet at winning re-election in October 2006. Now, the Brazilian president is facing several scenarios, with mixed results for the markets. Even if he isn't impeached, that won't necessarily be good news, investors believe. "He'll be extremely weak going into the election [and] may end up not running at all," says Welch.
That would leave candidates such as finance minister Antonio Palocci and São Paulo mayor José Serra, he says. Serra would probably win that election, spelling good news for the markets. Serra lost the last election to Lula but has received praise for his management of São Paulo in the interim and gains from having no ties to the corruption scandals in the current government.
But if Lula were to run for re-election, what could happen? "The problem for the market right now is if Lula decides to throw the house out the window to win popularity," warns 4Cast's Tuesta.
Colombia represents another uncertainty. President Alvaro Uribe, whose policies have been popular with investors, is trying to run for re-election despite a constitutional ban on this. The country's Constitutional Court is expected to rule on the matter later this year. "That's a problem," says Tuesta. "We don't know whether Uribe can run." There will be more market movement if he can't run than if he can, forecasts Welch.
Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a former managing director at Credit Suisse First Boston who was named prime minister in August, is popular among investors but has ruled out running. On the other hand, neither will Alan Garcia, a former president who defaulted on Peru's debt in the 1980s. That, at least, is good news for investors, Tuesta says.
Despite the possibility that Bolivia will elect Evo Morales, a radical coca activist, in elections in December, most investors say that will have little effect beyond the South American country. "Bolivia is very tiny within the overall spectrum of Latin America," says Alvarez. Morales is a close ally of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, where oil continues to keep the value of the country's bonds high despite the anti-market policies of the president. Venezuela is slated to hold elections in December 2006, which Chavez likely will win. "In the case of Venezuela, you won't see any changes in current policies so long as crude oil continues high," says Alvarez.
Another country expecting few changes, even after the December 2005 elections, is Chile. Frontrunner Michelle Bachelet from the ruling centrist coalition is expected to continue the largely market-friendly policies of outgoing president Ricardo Lagos.
"I think certainly Chavez has made his point of being a very populist leader," says Thorne. "But there are lots of incentives for other presidents to disagree." Lula, for example, came with strong rhetoric and realized that putting aside the rhetoric was much better for the population at large, he says.
Most investors hope that will be the result in Mexico as well.

Q: How should I use g++'s -finput-charset compiler option correctly in order to compile a non-UTF-8 source file? I'm trying to compile a UTF-16BE C++ source file in g++ with -finput-charset compiler option but I'm always getting a bunch of errors.  More details follow.
My environment(in CentOS Linux):

*

*g++: 4.1.2

*iconv: 2.5

*Linux language(in Terminal): LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

My sample source file(stored in UTF-16BE encoding):
// main.cpp:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello, UTF-16" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

My steps:

*

*I read the manual of g++ about the -finput-charset option.  The g++ manual says:

-finput-charset=charset
      Set the input character set, used for translation from the character set of the input file to the source character set used by
  GCC.  If the locale does not specify, or GCC cannot get this
  information from the locale, the default is UTF-8.  This can be
  overridden by either the locale or this command line option.
  Currently the command line option takes precedence if there's a
  conflict.  charset can be any encoding supported by the system's
  "iconv" library routine.

*

*Thus I entered the command as follows:

g++ -finput-charset=UTF-16BE main.cpp

and I got these errors:

In file included from main.cpp:1:
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/iostream:1:
  error: stray '\342' in program
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/iostream:1:
  error: stray '\274' in program
...(repeatedly, A LOT, around 4000+)...
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/iostream:1:
  error: stray '\257' in program
main.cpp: In function 'int main()':
main.cpp:5: error: 'cout' is not a member of 'std'
main.cpp:5: error: 'endl' is not a member of 'std'

*

*The manual text suggests that the charset can be any encoding supported by 'iconv' routine, thus I guessed the compilation errors might be caused by my iconv library.  I then tested the iconv:

iconv --from-code=UTF-16BE --to-code=UTF-8 --output=main_utf8.cpp main.cpp

A "main_utf8.cpp" file is generated as expected.  I then tried to compile it:

g++ -finput-charset=UTF-8 main_utf8.cpp

Note that I specified the input-charset explicitly to see if I did anything wrong, but this time a "a.out" was generated without any errors.  When I ran it, it could produce the correct output.
Finally...
I couldn't figure out where I did wrong.  I searched in the web trying to find out some examples for this compiler option but I couldn't.
Please advise!  Thanks!
Further edits:
Thanks, guys!  Your replies are quick!  Some updates:

*

*When I said "UTF-16" I meant "UTF-16 + BOM".  In fact I used UTF-16BE.  I have updated the text above.

*Some answers say the errors are caused by the non-UTF-16 header files.  Here are my thoughts if this is the case: We'll always include some standard header files when writing a C/C++ project, right?  Such as stdio.h or iostream.  If the G++ compiler only deals with the encoding of the source files created by us but never with the source files in the standard library, then what does this -finput-charset option exist for??

Final edit:
At last, my solution is like this:

*

*At the beginning, I changed the encoding of my source files to GB2312, as "Mr Lister" said below.  This worked fine for a while, but later I found it not suitable for my situation because most of the other parts in the system still use UTF-8 for communication and interfaces, thus I must convert the encoding in many places... Not only an overhead of my work, it may also result in some performance decrease in my program.

*Later I tried to convert all my source files to UTF-8 + BOM.  In this way, Visual Studio in Windows could compile them happily but GCC in Linux would complain.  I then wrote a shell script to remove the BOM, and before I want to compile my code with GCC, I run this script first.

*Luckily, I don't have to build the code in Linux manually because TeamCity the continuous integration tool is used in my project to generate the build automatically.  I could change the build steps in TeamCity to help me run this script before the daily build starts.

*With this UTF-8 + BOM + script method, I decide not to edit my source code in Linux, because if I want to do so, I must make sure my code could build successfully before I commit it, which means I must run the script to remove the BOM before I build the code, which means SVN would report EVERY file is modified(BOM removed) thus make it very easy to mistakenly commit a wrong file.  To solve this problem, I wrote another shell script to add the BOM back to the source files.  Though I still don't edit my code very often in Linux, but when I really need to, I don't have to face the terribly long change list in the commit dialog.

A: Encoding Blues
You cannot use UTF-16 for source code files; because the header you are including, <iostream>, is not UTF-16-encoded. As #include includes the files verbatim, this means that you suddenly have an UTF-16-encoded file with a large chunk (approximately 4k, apparently) of invalid data.
There is almost no good reason to ever use UTF-16 for anything, so this is just as well.
Edit: Regarding problems with encoding support: The OSes themselves are not responsible for providing encoding support, this comes down to the compilers used.
g++ on Windows supports absolutely all of the same encodings as g++ on Linux, because it's the same program, unless whatever version of g++ you are using on Windows relies on a deeply broken iconv library.
Inspect your toolchain and ensure that all your tools are in working order.
As an alternative; don't use Chinese in the source files, but write them in English, using English-language literals, or simple TOKEN_STYLE_PLACEHOLDERs, using l10n and i18n to replace these in the running executable.
Threedit: -finput-charset is almost certainly a holdover from the days of codepages and other nonsense of the kind; however; an ISO-8859-n file will almost always be compatible with UTF-8 standard headers, however, see the reedit below.
Reedit: For next time; remember a simple mantra: "N'DUUH!"; "Never Don't Use UTF-8!"

I18N
A common solution to this kind of problem is to remove the problem entirely, by way of, for instance, gettext.
When using gettext, you usually end up with a function loc(char *) that abstracts away most of the translation tool specific code. So, instead of
#include <iostream>

int main () {
  std::cout << "瓜田李下" << std::endl;
}

you would have
#include <iostream>

#include "translation.h"

int main () {
  std::cout << loc("DEEPER_MEANING") << std::endl;
}

and, in zh.po:
msgid DEEPER_MEANING
msgstr "瓜田李下"

Of course, you could also then have a en.po:
msgid DEEPER_MEANING
msgstr "Still waters run deep"

This can be expanded upon, and the gettext package has tools for expansion of strings with variables and such, or you could use printf, to account for different grammars.

The Third Option
Instead of having to deal with multiple compilers with different requirements for file encodings, file endings, byte order marks, and other problems of the kind; it is possible to cross-compile using MinGW or similar tools.
This option requires some setup, but may very well reduce future overhead and headaches.

A: The error message says the problem is in the include files, so I presume what happens is that the include files are normal UTF-8, but the compiler wants to treat them as UTF-16 because of the compiler switch.
So I'm afraid the solution is to always convert the source to UTF-8 first; perhaps in the makefile. Or to find a solution that doesn't contain include files in other encodings...
Edit:
Maybe a GB encoding would work, if and only if none of the system source files contain any non-ASCII characters. Then you could tell the compiler they were GB encoded without problem.

A: This does not work because the compiler will also try to read the header files as UTF-16, which they are not.

A: UTF-16 is not an encoding for bytes. It's an encoding where your basic storage unit is 16 bits large.
When you want to store UTF-16 in a byte sequence you have to choose between UTF-16BE and UTF-16LE.


Jaraswat — to pick an atypical dragon — started out in the typical way, in his hangar, tossing some of his hoard into a crate and hurrying to the portal.
"The wixio, surely you remember the wixio. By the Jhirstomater's thermometer, I saw it late last night in the drawer of the cabinet in a science hangar!" Itharieth was, of course, wearing veriception blocks; but dragons, of course, almost never lie to each other.
"Oh, horiẗotħ eventuality! And I did not realize it had turned adorla!" And, so saying, Jaraswat set his crate down and rushed to the science hangars. Itharieth's directions, which had seemed quite clear enough at the portal, proved terribly ambiguous: there were seven hangars the biologist might have meant, each of which was supplied with not quite enough cabinets, whose several drawers were not quite adequate hold all that must be held.
So the first drawer he tried proved to contain an alembic and five graduated cylinders, shoved on top of the wixio-extracted sweaters he had put there. The alembic did him the disservice of shattering with a rather rude 'pop!', reminding him that scientific and magical instruments were quite overmatched by a dragon's strength, and that it would do him no good to find the wixio by snapping it in half.
So he was more careful with the second drawer, and shuffled through the jade stirring-rods and silver-plated charybdonna feathers that it unaccountably contained instead of the sound-holders he was sure were there, and the wixio that he thought might be. The third drawer was stuck on something, and he jiggled it warily for many valuable seconds, and finally clawed through the side of the cabinet. He nearly breathed the whole cabinet to destruction when he discovered that the drawer had jammed on Mr. Norb's favorite mug, which had been lost months before Mr. Norb's horrible demise.
"Not that cabinet!" Jaraswat looked through another, and a third, and then thought that perhaps he might have left it in the hangar of the hhejŝṧhyant. Where he found Yarenton, who gave him a quick report. "Rhosmanthus and Nrusco are back from Eleer. The others are too far away to reach. Jyothky is not answering the venstroma, so we cannot talk to them now." (I was, of course, asleep on Hove, and the venstroma has no sort of alerting or alarming.) "I do not wish to let the doom off of Narethy, I cannot wait for them." He struck the hhejŝṧhyant in a point of particular vulnerability with his vô, destroying it and condemning four dragons to life in exile.
"I have no idea," said Yarenton, and departed the hangar for the portal to Hove.
"And what of the more Laggardly of the Dragons?" asked Tultamaan, who, with Itharieth, was keeping count.
"Let us go then!" said Tultamaan. Itharieth snatched Jaraswat's crate, and the three of them fled to Hove. Where Tultamaan and Itharieth both struck the portal to Narethy, destroying it.
And Itharieth extracted the wixio from his neck-scales, and tucked it into Jaraswat's crate.
And that was the end of the Hoven Royal Exploring Company's first expedition.

Why is Jeremy Corbyn stealing the show? Because he's the only Labour candidate saying anything at all
None of the three mainstream candidates for leader of the Labour Party – Cooper, Andy Burnham and Liz Kendall – is really proposing anything, only reacting, writes John Gaffney. No wonder polls are showing the Jeremy Corbyn has a convincing lead.
Tom Lehrer, the American satirical lyricist, sang of the Spanish republican struggle against Franco: "He may have won all the battles, but we had all the good songs".
Jeremy Corbyn seems to have all the good songs and is winning too. I say "seems" as the polls are always wrong, and yet, with the exception of Yvette Cooper, we go on believing every single one of them. And that belief has dramatic political effects. Whatever the truth, Corbyn is turning the contest to become the next leader of the Labour party upside down.
The election was already in terrible disarray, even before the polling caused such a stir. There was uproar in the party and confusion between the candidates over George Osborne's benefit cuts, refracted equally confusedly through Harriet Harman, the acting leader.
None of the three mainstream candidates for the job – Cooper, Andy Burnham and Liz Kendall – is really proposing anything, only reacting. And as regards their own leadership status, all took a falsely modest position when asked who they might have in their shadow cabinet in the event of a win, each refusing to answer the question. Then Cooper and Kendall said they would not serve under Corbyn if they lost, and Burnham said he might.
Corbyn's rivals have made it clear that they can already picture him at the dispatch box. All they are doing is enhancing his leadership status and diminishing their own even further. And he is already naming his cabinet – Ed Miliband will have the energy portfolio!
So what began as a spectacularly ill-judged scramble for Ed's fallen crown (and reliable rumour has it they were manoeuvring even before it slid from his head) has now become a mission to stop the "Syriza-Podemos candidate". No Pasaran.
The standoff is playing out across a series of television debates (that everyone is now watching). These started off with the three front runners patronising the radical warhorse from the 1960s but now he is riding a rhetorical coach and horses through their platitudes.
How did this happen? Let us get one thing clear; it has absolutely nothing to do with being left wing or right wing. Corbyn is making such a strong media showing because of his style and language. And the others are coming across as mediocre because of theirs.
They have the rhetorically disadvantaged position (which they themselves chose) of talking about nothing in particular. Did we overspend in the last Labour government? Yes we did (Burnham). No we didn't (Cooper). This was when much of Labour's post-May 2015 recruits were seven or eight years old.
What is Corbyn talking about? Everything. More importantly, he embodies a wide and deep tradition in the UK left that we can all recognise and engage with. And, more importantly still, he does it with elegance, conviction, modesty and intellectual coherence.
The mainstream candidates are all extremely clever, but what do they embody? What image of them do we retain after a performance? What have they told us about themselves as a political persona and potential leader?
We know that Kendall urges realism, but we don't really know what that means apart from not what Ed was doing. You can't "see" realism.
As regards Cooper, the media snapped up remarks from one of her supporters about being a working mother and (almost) turned it into a spat between the two woman candidates. This sexist trivia gets media mileage because none of the mainstream candidates embodies a vision of a Labour Britain.
Burnham is apparently true Labour because he has a Northern accent. At weekends he goes back to where he was brought up and still meets up with the people he used to play football with.
This is dire stuff. Corbyn wants to talk about all the things that make people want to vote Labour or not, or join Labour or not, or consider joining Labour, and so on. He is giving us all a lesson in politics: you have to represent something, you have to embody a political view or tradition, and you have to perform it to rhetorical effect. And you have to be – or at least seem to be – authentic and sincere while you do it.
All four of the candidates are all of these things. Corbyn is just doing it much better than the others. The poll may indeed be wrong, but he is doing everything right. I suspect Corbyn's bedtime reading is not Marx's Grundrisse but Aristotle's Rhetoric.

If Corbyn is proposing "everything" by way of ideas why can't you name a single one in this blogpost? Or if you could…why didn't you think it was relevant to do so?

Yes, Corbyn is the only contender who is connecting with real people by making reference to real challenges and objectives. Hence, even Alun Milburn had to step in to say "that's enough connecting with real people".

Prairie Plains Resource Institute is a non-profit membership organization, dedicated to maintaining and restoring Nebraska ecosystems.
Founded in 1980 in Aurora, Nebraska, we preserve, maintain and restore native prairies and wetlands, and use these conservation sites for community education, recreation and sustainable economic development.
Prairie Plains has pioneered grassland management and educational activities on our network of eight native prairie preserves. We began by harvesting seeds from local wild populations and planting small plots. Those initial activities grew in the 1990s to include the development of large high-diversity wetland and prairie planting efforts of more than 100 acres per year.
Prairie Plains has a calendar full of events that allow people to build lasting relationships with the land and with each other. As an educational land trust, our goal is to relate all aspects of our program to education and service to people.
These activities are carried out by a dedicated staff of six and numerous volunteers, all under the guidance of our board of directors.
Marie Ratzlaff Prairie Preserve has served as an outdoor classroom for local schools and is a frequent destination for Summer Orientation About Rivers.
