As General Motors transitions to launching what is possibly the biggest and most comprehensive product and brand offensive in its history, Japanese rivals have recently gained a significant (yet little-known) advantage that might work against GM’s progress in earning back market share, mind share, and, ultimately, more money.
Specifically, the advantage surrounds currency fluctuations: since October 1, 2012, the yen has fallen 23 percent against the U.S. dollargiving Toyota and Honda a notable financial advantage on each model sold, especially for those models that are made in Japan and exported to the U.S.
Toyota exports over 2 million vehicles from Japan annually; some of those vehicles are destined for the U.S. or European markets, and are significantly more profitable for the Japanese automakers if the yen is worth less than the dollar.
According to a Morgan Stanley analysis, the devalued yen gives Toyota and Honda a $1,500 financial advantage per car sold. And according to a Fool.com report, “Detroit believes [the advantage] to be much more significant”, pegging the upper hand at $5,700 per vehicle. While the real number might be somewhere between those two figures, the fact of the matter is that the new advantage might result in GM selling less cars, or selling the same amount as it does currently, but at a diminished profit.
How GM is affect by Toyota’s and Honda’s newfound advantage will depend on how the two Japanese companies utilize their newfound exchange-based financial upper hand. They could…
- Force a price war by using the increased per-vehicle margins to discount their vehicles, effectively buying market share
- Force a price war by boosting the feature content of their vehicles
- Do nothing to the product or pricing, and increase advertising
Given that Toyota is planning to refresh nearly 60 percent of its vehicles over the next two years, the advantage could derail GM’s product-focused surge to new buyers and increase its competitiveness in the marketplace. The reality of the situation is that GM may not be able to afford to engage in a price war with Toyota or Honda in any fashion.
“This is, without a doubt, the biggest change affecting the global auto industry”, said Morgan Stanley analyst Adan Jonas. “The dollar versus the weak yen will make the Japanese automakers richer and they can use those profits to target more-aggressive growth. Ford and GM are in their bulls-eye. This is a real threat.”
So, what can The General do to combat, or at least mitigate this looming threat from the Land of the Rising Sun? Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it has too many options. Some lobbyists in Washington are crying bloody murder, but the efforts aren’t gaining tangible results. Meanwhile, the U.S. government can’t really call out Japan for currency manipulation.
What GM (and Ford) might hope for is for politicians to put some pressure on Honda and Toyota, or give them incentives to produce in North America, a move that would remove most of the currency-related financial advantage. And it just so happens that Toyota and Honda are already producing some models locally. However, as the money made in North America will likely be taken back to Japan, and be worth more there, local production by the Japanese automakers won’t eradicate the disadvantage faced by The General (and by The Blue Oval).
Perhaps the best solution is for the American people to buy less imported vehicles when it comes at the expense of local jobs, especially shady currency-related manipulation might be involved.
For its part, GM enthusiasts should probably keep a close eye on a few things, including:
- The value of the Japanese yen
- How Japanese use the exchange-related advantage
- How GM executives and the U.S. government work to mitigate the newfound disadvantage
Let’s see what happens in another month. For now, what would you do if you were GM? Talk to us in the comments.

Dizzy Anxiety When Driving
Vertigo is commonly the sensation of the entire globe, relocating, spinning, or rocking instantly when an individual is standing flawlessly still. Some people additionally make use of the word vertigo to explain different signs, ranging from dizziness to nausea and equilibrium problems. The complying with treatment options are often utilized to treat lightheadedness as well as vertigo. Dizzy Anxiety When Driving
If your lightheadedness or vertigo has actually been detected as a result of any type of underlying clinical condition, you ought to consult your physician promptly before starting any kind of workouts. Even if the signs and symptoms you are experiencing are not due to a medical problem, you should still see your doctor to guarantee that your symptoms are not an outcome of another thing. Your medical professional will likely recommend several workouts or other procedures to treat your vertigo.
Dizzy Anxiety When Driving
Dizziness as well as vertigo are triggered by physical elements. However, some individuals are born with a small difference in their inner ears, which can cause them to feel dizzy. This is most typically called sensorineural hearing loss or more generally described as lightheadedness. Other physical elements include poor muscle mass tone, including the muscles of the tongue as well as the facial muscular tissues, and/or irregularities of vision. Some symptoms that are considered milder versions of dizziness are: the feeling of running out your body, a sensation that gravity is kicking you in the stomach, lightheadedness, throwing up, ringing in the ears, feelings like you are going to pass out, feeling separated from your body or world, feeling like you are going crazy, or sensations that absolutely nothing makes sense. Dizzy Anxiety When Driving
vertigo is usually treated by one or more of the following treatment choices. Depending upon your symptoms as well as the seriousness of your instance, therapy might vary from simple to facility and also requires the attention of a medical professional with experience treating dizziness. A few of these treatment alternatives are reviewed listed below.
No therapy is long-term or essential. Wooziness will certainly fix itself. If you remain to have signs and symptoms after two days or if your wooziness lasts for more than three days, you must go to a physician. The medical professional will perform a collection of examinations to determine the source of your signs and symptoms. Some reasons for lightheadedness may be short-term issues such as sleep apnea or equilibrium issues caused by a recently diagnosed illness. Some illness such as diabetes, Parkinson’s illness, and also hyperthyroidism can also cause wooziness and also need to be assessed and treated.
Vertigo is frequently associated with vestibular payment. This is a problem that causes the inner part of the mind to regard head movements as exterior stimuli. It can be treated with medicine, exercises, or a mix of treatments. The treatment options will certainly vary according to the severity of your wooziness. Your doctor may recommend that you put on a vestibular support gadget, stay clear of sudden movements, or alter your exercise routines.
It is typically secure to think that vertigo comes on when you the very least anticipate it. When you depend on one foot and really feel lightheaded, opportunities are you are currently in a raised setting. It is important that you keep your head and torso right at all times. For those who are regularly on the move, there are tools that you can wear to avoid this condition from happening; they are typically called tilt table disks or magnetic braces.
Fortunately is that many people do not experience significant dizziness signs and symptoms when standing or sitting for three times longer than advised. Long term resting can actually create severe problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome, weak point of the jaw muscular tissues, as well as damage to the internal ear. The very best thing that you can do is to take your time when sitting, and also stand when needed. This will certainly aid to lower your danger of having lightheadedness signs.

Cross-posted from The Conversation:
The same deep forces that were behind the election result in Queensland are being played out in Canberra. The Australian people want, although most won’t admit it, higher taxes – either now or in the future. This is the inescapable conclusion from the rejection of the Newman government’s debt-reduction plan and the shenanigans in the Australian parliament that have prevented the Abbott government from implementing its pre-election pledge to pay down government debt.
A preference for higher taxes is perfectly rational and is being expressed across most developed countries. The evidence is clear. Consider what has happened over the last two decades in Queensland, Australia and most OECD countries (the 30 most economically advanced countries). Actually this has been going on for longer than two decades, but I’ll focus on this period as this is where the OECD’s published data set starts.
Government spending has risen, tax revenue has fallen and government debt has risen, all measured as a share of national production of goods and services (GDP). In Australia, spending across all levels of government has been 2% of GDP higher over the past decade than over the previous decade. The figure across all OECD countries is 3% on average. Government revenue has been about 2% of GDP lower over the past decade than it was over the previous decade – and 0.5% for the OECD.
Governments and households
This has meant rising government debt. Government liabilities have risen 11% (of GDP) in Australia over the past two decades and 30% across the OECD, which eventually implies either higher taxes or lower spending.
Some say this isn’t true – that governments are not like households that eventually have to repay their debts because governments can simply print money to repay their debts. This is a dangerously naive view for an economy like Australia that borrows heavily from the rest of the world, and it has been debunked in detail elsewhere. Suffice to say that Queensland lost its AAA credit rating several years ago because of its rising debt, which has cost the taxpayer dearly through rising interest payments.
The solution to rising debt is, eventually, lower spending, higher taxes and/or selling assets – provided the private sector is prepared to pay a price high enough to compensate for the loss of income from the assets (which they often are willing to do). Australians seem not to want either lower government spending on services like education (case in point: the rejection of higher education cuts) or health (case in point: rejection of cuts to Medicare rebates to doctors), or asset sales (e.g. the rejection of the Newman government’s key election policy). Indeed we seem to want governments to spend in new areas such as disability funding and spend more in existing areas like child care, which explains the edging up in government spending as a share of GDP.
We’ve seen the same overseas: the election of the new Greek government that has rejected further austerity despite its net debt of 125% of GDP (compared with the OECD average of 70%). And the failure of the US Senate to agree to measures to reduce its net debt, which stands at 85% of GDP.
Why we can afford it
The only option left is higher taxes, which brings me to my original point: this is not so crazy. Indeed it is rational.
Why? Because our living standards are rising. Our incomes and wealth are rising, giving us the means to buy more goods and services. The core source of this rising prosperity is productivity. If the average worker can produce more over time we can all be better off.
Labour productivity in Australia has grown at 1.3% per year on average over the past two decades, according to the same OECD data, which means that national output per worker is about 40% higher now than it was only two decades ago. Think, for example, of the productivity gains in communication through cloud computing. Sure, when translating the 40% figure to living standards we need to chop a few percent off to account for the drop in the number of workers relative to consumers (mouths to feed). But still it’s a substantial gain. The annual figure for the whole OECD is 1.2%, so the same applies across other advanced countries – the cloud knows no borders.
Which brings us to the punch line. If we’re all better off than we were 20 years ago, why not pay a bit more tax rather than give up government services on child care, disability services, health care and higher education?
This is what Australian taxpayers are saying in voting out the Newman government and, through their representatives in the Senate, in voting down the Abbott government’s budget cuts, modest as they are. And it’s what voters are saying in Europe and the US. That is, we don’t want cuts to government services, we’d rather pay higher taxes – either now or in the future when we eventually have to address the accumulation of government debt.
There’s evidence Australians feel they pay about the right amount of tax, but we won’t always openly admit to a willingness to pay more – certainly not to politicians. Why not? Partly because we always live in hope that someone else will pay: “raise someone else’s taxes or cut someone else’s services”.
Also we want to keep governments on their toes – make sure they are trying hard not to waste our taxes. And finally, even though we know we are better off than 20 years ago, it’s happening very slowly – we don’t feel it when we wake up in the morning.
The bottom line: we’re in for more government paralysis until eventually a government rings the bell on us and raises taxes.

In plants, the cysteine-rich repeat kinases (CRKs) are a sub-family of receptor-like protein kinases that contain the DUF26 motif in their extracellular domains. It has been shown that in Arabidopsis thaliana, CRK20 is transcriptionally induced by pathogens, salicylic acid and ozone (O(3)). However, its role in responses to biotic and abiotic stress remains to be elucidated. To determine the function of CRK20 in such responses, two CRK20 loss-of-function mutants, crk20-1 and crk20-2, were isolated from public collections of Arabidopsis T-DNA tagged lines and examined for responses to O(3) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst) DC3000. crk20-1 and crk20-2 showed similar O(3) sensitivities and no differences in the expression of defense genes when compared with the wild-type. However, pathogen growth was significantly reduced, while there were no differences in the induction of salicylic acid related defense genes or salicylic acid accumulation. Furthermore, correlation analysis of CRK20 gene expression suggests that it has a role in the control of H(2)O and/or nutrient transport. We therefore propose that CRK20 promotes conditions that are favorable for Pst DC3000 growth in Arabidopsis, possibly through the regulation of apoplastic homeostasis, and consequently, of the environment of this biotrophic pathogen.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Just hours into his Democratic presidential bid, Sen. Bernie Sanders says questions about the Clinton Foundation's activities are fair game.
The independent senator from Vermont also noted today that Hillary Rodham Clinton hasn't yet taken a position on contentious trade legislation, or on the proposed Keystone X-L pipeline.
As for his own positions on those issues -- he says he's helping to lead the opposition to a measure that would strengthen President Barack Obama's hand in future trade talks. And he says he opposed legislation that would permit construction of the pipeline.
Sanders told reporters on Capitol Hill that he wants to create "an economy that works for all of our people." He says, "The wealthiest people in the country and the largest corporations" must stop shipping jobs overseas and start paying their fair share of taxes.
Clinton responds with a tweet saying she agrees with Sanders that the "focus must be on helping America's middle class."
Sanders is the first major challenger to enter the race against Clinton, who launched her own bid for president earlier this month.

While the breakneck political news cycle has moved on from the Kavanaugh hearings, a new poll commissioned by McLaughlin & Associates for Independent Women's Voice shows the legacy of the hearing is not as short-lived as the media’s attention span.
Over 40 percent of men in the survey said they would rather be accused of murder than of sexual assault. When combined with the additional 38 percent that responded that they didn’t know which they would prefer, that’s a number four times higher than say they would rather be accused of sexual misconduct (22 percent). Yes, almost four in five men either find the question difficult, or would outright prefer to be accused of taking another human life than of groping a co-worker.
These shocking numbers may be explained by the respondents’ answers to another question: 57 percent of all surveyed, men and women, said that in today’s post-Kavanaugh world, they believe that men accused of sexual misconduct are presumed guilty. Americans watched Judge – now Justice – Kavanaugh fail to be granted, at least by Senators of the minority party, the presumption of innocence that has been the standard in Anglo-American law and culture for centuries.
But a minority – those that urge us to “believe all women” – are quickly moving even beyond the “guilty until proven innocent” standard of those hearings. The New York Times published an op-ed just last week arguing that all men are guilty for the alleged climate of sexism that leads to sexual violence. The author, George Yancy, urges men to take responsibility for the “soul murder” that takes place “under the yoke of our self-serving construction of a violent, pathetic, and problematic masculinity.”
In the freest, most prosperous country in the world, in which female unemployment recently hit a 65-year low, we used to ignore such self-flagellating nonsense as the product of a fringe band of loons. Given that Justice Kavanaugh’s unimpeachable, decades-long reputation as a man who gave the women around him both respect and the opportunity to rise is in tatters for the rest of his life, we no longer have the luxury to ignore arguments like Yancy’s. That fringe is now in control, not only of the universities, but also, as we saw during the hearings, of a large part of the Democratic Party.
Unfortunately, as the McLaughlin survey shows, the mainstreaming of radical feminist ideas about sexual assault, including the overly-broad definition of lack of consent and the nonexistent requirement for evidence, has already begun to drive a wedge between men and women in both the personal and professional contexts.
But there is some hope: the same McLaughlin survey found that only 17 percent of respondents agreed that a person should be denied future jobs based on unsupported allegations of sexual assault against him. Thus far, watching college campus Title IX kangaroo courts metastasize into the political arena has horrified men and women from across the political spectrum, regardless of what they may have believed about Kavanaugh personally. Other polls back this conclusion, with 76 percent of respondents in a recent Pew survey indicating that false claims of sexual assault or harassment are at least some level of problem in our workplaces.
It’s time for the silent majority on this issue to speak up. Men and women both must reject a hostile identity politics that pits husbands against wives, mothers against sons, and coworkers against each other in a sexual battle royale. The scourge of sexual violence is not nearly as widespread as some commonly-cited statistics claim, but it is real. But it is best battled by men and women united against perpetrators and predators, within the bounds of the long-established principles of justice that have made America great.

This seminar situates itself at the intersections of tradition, modernity and the globalised present of the Southern Caucasus. The Southern Caucasus has seen drastic change within the last 150 years transitioning from predominantly agrarian practices to modern urban agglomerations. Most notably, the Soviet era’s social and political ideologies allowed for new forms of experimentation in housing and urban typologies, effectively restructuring the social dynamics of the region. However, within the last 30 years, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan now lead their own interpretations of architectural and urban developments. The topics discussed in this seminar range from large-scale urban imaginations to very specific examples of architectural interfaces that engage the intersection of modernity, local traditions, political ideology and globalisation.

Wrangling these wave tanks really is a full time job, but we have making progress with our next round of prototyping this week.
The tsunami tank has had an interface face lift with updated kiosk software, and the technical issues we were having with the wave makers locking up seem to have been subdued (fingers crossed).
We were having issues with visitors throwing lego for building their tsunami-resilient structures all over the place, so I moved the lego storage actually on to the tank using clip-on cups.
I also decided to start using plastic sign holders to prototype signage actually on the tank. This way, I can switch out sign versions easily and more frequently if I need to. These are just simple slanted sign holders I clipped in to the edge of the tank table.
We also moved our prototype wave buoy closer to the wave energy tank, and Allison is in the process of making up some labels for it.
Right now I am working on overarching signs to tie the three tanks together, and create a more holistic wave laboratory exhibit. Here is the plan I have so far to help us work toward this.
There is lots to do this summer, but it’s great to get moving on our plans. The exhibit has become very popular in the visitor center, so I’m interested to see how the visitors and staff react to it as we prototype more of the signage pieces

Vanessa Mdee, born on June 7, 1988, in Arusha, Tanzania, is a name that has become synonymous with the African music industry. With her powerful voice, catchy songs, and captivating performances, she has rightfully earned the title of Africa’s Queen of Pop. But, like every successful artist, her journey to stardom has not been an overnight success. It is a story of determination, resilience, and countless hours of hard work.
Vanessa’s passion for music began at a young age. Growing up in a musical household, with her father being a popular Tanzanian DJ, she was exposed to a wide range of genres and artists. This early exposure to music ignited a fire within her to pursue a career in the industry.
At the age of 17, Vanessa auditioned for and won a spot on MTV’s reality show “The Coca-Cola Popstars,” where she was chosen to be part of a girl group called “Tanzania House of Talent” (THT). This was a defining moment in her career, as it opened doors to opportunities she had only dreamed of.
The group released their debut album, “Tanzania House of Talent Presents THT,” which was a commercial success and positioned them as one of Tanzania’s most popular girl groups. However, after a few years, the group disbanded as the members decided to pursue solo careers.
Vanessa, undeterred by the breakup of THT, embarked on her solo journey. She released her first solo single, “Closer,” which garnered attention and laid the foundation for her solo career. Her unique voice and stage presence quickly gained recognition across Tanzania, and her popularity started to soar.
In 2012, Vanessa released her debut solo album, “Money Mondays,” which was hailed as a game-changer in the Tanzanian music industry. The album spawned several hit singles, including “Nobody But Me” and “Come Over,” which solidified her position as a force to be reckoned with. Her fusion of various genres, including pop, R&B, and Afrobeat, set her apart from other artists and captured the hearts of music lovers not just in Tanzania but across Africa.
As her popularity grew, so did her fan base and international recognition. Vanessa became the first Tanzanian artist to be signed by an international record label, Universal Music Group, in 2019. This monumental achievement not only marked a significant milestone in her career but also opened doors for other East African artists to gain global recognition.
Vanessa’s success is not limited to the music industry alone. She has ventured into other creative realms, such as hosting TV shows and acting. Her versatility and ability to excel in different areas of the entertainment industry have further established her as a true powerhouse in Africa’s entertainment scene.
Beyond her musical accomplishments, Vanessa is also known for her philanthropic endeavours. She uses her platform to raise awareness about various social causes, including mental health and gender equality. Through her music and actions, she has become a role model for young Africans, inspiring them to dream big and break down barriers.
In conclusion, Vanessa Mdee’s journey to becoming Africa’s Queen of Pop is a testament to her talent, dedication, and unwavering passion for music. From her humble beginnings in Tanzania to commanding stages across Africa and the world, she has proven that hard work and perseverance can truly lead to success. As she continues to push the boundaries of African music and inspire aspiring artists, it is clear that Vanessa Mdee’s reign as Africa’s Queen of Pop is far from over.

In general, you want to look for snacks that are made of predominantly whole food ingredients, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains (like oats, whole wheat, or sorghum), beans (such as chickpeas or lentils), nuts or seeds, eggs, and others. You also want to limit or avoid foods made with artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and flavors. And of course, you want to keep an eye on added sugars, as even seemingly healthy snacks, like granola bars and yogurts, may contain excessive amounts of added sugars.
Target carries RXBAR, which comes in a variety of flavors and contains limited ingredients and no added sugars. They also carry HIPPEAS Chickpea Snacks, in flavors like Bohemian Barbeque, Sriracha Sunrise, and White Cheddar to satisfy your cravings for chips. Likewise, Angie's Boom Chicka Pop (available in stores) allows you to get your crunch on in varieties like Sea Salt Popcorn and Kettle Corn. And finally, you can get your fruity fix with Bare Fruit Chips. Bare chips stand out because their apple and banana snacks are crunchier than the competition. Both the apples and the bananas are available in cinnamon as well as unflavored, and both fruits supply a good source of fiber.

Millions of people just woke up hundreds of pounds poorer thanks to Price Hike Thursday – the day of the year when broadband, prescriptions council tax and dozens more bills rise with inflation.
It’s no April 1 joke, with steep increases set to hit almost every single household in the UK – affecting gas, electricity, mobile phone bills and even Sky TV packages.
Motorists will also take a hit as vehicle excise duty rises in line with inflation today.
The rises come as households remain under financial pressure, with 1.7million people unemployed, according latest to government figures, and 4.7million still on furlough.
In total, the increases will add £5.95billion onto the average cost of living – or £206 per household, according to Money.co.uk.
Sarah Coles, money analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: “One of the biggest price rises comes in the form of council tax rises, which are up an average of 4.4% to £1,898 for band D properties. That’s an average increase of £6.75 a month.
“It’s also worth watching out for energy price rises if you’re on the default tariff. The energy price cap is rising £96 a year to £1,138 - which reverses all the price cuts we saw during the pandemic.”
James Andrews, personal finance expert at Money.co.uk added: “Although some of the changes seem small, they add up to a £206 extra for each household, which is hardly ideal given the particularly turbulent financial year many of us have had.
“Be constantly on the lookout for new offers, and don’t hesitate to switch providers if your contract is up and a better deal can be found elsewhere.”
The cost of a standard prescription will rise from £9.15 to £9.35 today - a 2% increase on 2020 but a 14% increase compared to prescription costs in 2015.
The charges will rise despite calls for prescription fees to be scrapped altogether. Only people living in England pay for prescriptions – they are free in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
A pre-payment certificate covers all the prescriptions needed for an individual in a set time period – it could save those on long term medication hundreds over the course of a year.
But bear in mind that the price of a three-month PPC is also rising from £29.65 to £30.25 (an increase of 60p) today, while a 12-month PPC will go up from £105.90 to £108.10 (an increase of £2.20).
See our guide on how to beat prescription costs here.
The annual television licence fee will rise on April 1 taking the total annual cost to £159 a year.
The increase comes eight months after three million over-75s lost their entitlement to free TV licences following a funding row between the BBC and the government.
The new fee works out at £3.06 per week or £13.25 per month.
Those buying or renewing a licence after April 1, 2021, will have to pay the new licence charge.
Those already paying in instalments will continue to pay £157.50 until their licence is up for renewal.
The cost of an annual black and white licence will also rise from £53.00 to £53.50.
However, millions of households may not have to pay the charge – see our guide on who is excluded, here.
Air Passenger Duty
Air Passenger Duty (APD) on long-haul flights will increase again, despite calls from the industry to freeze the aviation tax.
The rates for long-haul economy services from the UK will increase in line with RPI by £2, totalling £84 per passenger from April 2022.
Meanwhile, those travelling in premium economy, business and first class will have to pay £5 more – £185 in total.
However, APD on short-haul flights will remain frozen at previous levels for the next two tax years, regardless of class, the government confirmed.
Residents in more than 100 parts of the UK will see their council tax bills rise to over £2,000 a year from today as council tax hikes kick in for almost every household.
A typical Band D property will see the levy rise by £80 to £1,898 a year.
The rise equates to a 4.4% increase, despite latest inflation being at 0.4%.
Enter your postcode and select your Band below to see how council tax will change in your area.
Fifteen million households will see their gas and electricity bills soar by almost £100 a year from today as the new energy price cap rate kicks in.
This is the top amount suppliers can charge customers on default or standard variable tariffs.
Based on average use, it means at least 11 million homes will see annual dual fuel bills rise by £96 to £1,138.
A further four million on pre-payment meters will pay £1,156 for the year – £87 more.
Luckily, there are ways to escape the penalty. Comparison websites and auto-switching tools can protect you from being stuck on standard variable tariffs (SVTs).
Ofgem says households could save at least £100 by shopping around for a fixed deal. Find out how to switch your energy supplier, here.
In good news for bill payers, average household water and sewerage bills in England and Wales are set to fall by around £2 a year from this month.
This takes the average bill from £410 to £408, according to Water UK.
However, in some parts of the UK, some households could see average increases of up to £14 per year.
Sarah Coles, money analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said some people may be able to beat the hike by switching to a water meter.
“It’s worth checking what your water company is up to, because some are raising prices from April,” she said.
“It’s a good time to take stock and consider whether it’s worth getting a water meter. As a rough rule of thumb, if you have more bedrooms at home than people, you could save by switching to a meter.
According to the Consumer Council for Water (CCW), customers could save an average of around £200 by switching to a water meter.
Mobile phone bills
Mobile phone bills are to rise by up to 4.5% this month – hitting almost every single person in the UK.
Networks including BT, EE, Three and Vodafone have announced price hikes.
Those who signed up with Three as a pay-monthly customer or renewed their pay-monthly contract on or after October 29, 2020, will see their bills increase by 4.5%.
Customers who joined the network between May 2015 and October 29, 2020 will see their bills go up by 1.4%.
Vodafone will hike prices by up to £45 from April for customers who signed up or renewed their mobile contract after December 9, 2020.
EE is also upping prices by £24 per year for those who took out a deal between January 11, 2019 and September 1, 2020.
Speak to your provider if you cannot afford the rise – firms are being urged to be more lenient due to Covid.
If you are out of contract, haggle for a lower deal and switch away if it doesn’t work. USwitch estimates this could save you up to £360 a year.
The amount of road tax you pay from today will rise depending on your car’s CO2 emissions.
Cars that emit zero grams per km of CO2 won’t have to pay anything, while petrol and most diesel drivers (including hybrid models) that put out between 1g and 50g per km will be required to pay £10 for the first year.
Cars that emit between 51g and 5g per km will continue to pay £25 for the first year.
However, drivers with cars that generate between 76g and 150g per km of CO2 will see an increase of £5 more this year – taking their annual car tax bill to £220.
Broadband and TV bills
Sky is upping bills by up to £72 a year for millions of broadband and TV customers from today. This will be followed by landline price rises in May.
Meanwhile, Virgin Media is hiking prices by £44 per year for some households, and BT prices are going up by £24.
If you’re hoping to switch away, check for any contract clauses first.
If you’re locked in a deal, explain that you are struggling and ask about your options. Those out of contract are free to leave penalty-free.

Truth and Reconciliation chair Murray Sinclair in Regina
Murray Sinclair was a guest speaker at the University of Regina
Justice Murray Sinclair, the chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which examined Canada's Indian Residential Schools, was the featured speaker for this year's Woodrow Lloyd lecture at the University of Regina.
Sinclair spoke to a packed auditorium Wednesday night.
In his remarks, Sinclair noted that every society has an obligation to help children answer four important questions:
- Where do I come from?
- Where am I going?
- Why am I here?
- Who am I?
"The ability to answer those questions has been impaired by the experience of residential schools," Sinclair said.
Sinclair added that the education system outside of Indian Residential Schools also left a negative legacy.
"We also must acknowledge that it has also impaired the ability of non-aboriginal children, the way that our school system has educated us about aboriginal people or about the history of this country," Sinclair said.
He noted that what children are taught in schools today about First Nations and treaties is often met with resistance by parents at home.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its final report and recommendations in December.

Lidl reveals plans to build supermarket in Burton Latimer
and live on Freeview channel 276
Shopping giant Lidl has revealed plans to build a new supermarket on the edge of Burton Latimer.
The discount retailers want to develop a site near the A6/Cranford Road roundabout, next to Seasons garden centre, with a ‘multi-million-pound investment’.
The 1,500 sq m store would create up to 40 jobs, have an in-store bakery and see a new access road built with the creation of 120 parking spaces.
Lidl has now launched a consultation on the bid and will analyse feedback before submitting a planning application to North Northamptonshire Council.
Lidl GB’s head of property, Andrew Hodgkinson, said: “We are excited to unveil plans for a new Lidl supermarket which would provide residents in Burton Latimer and the surrounding area with convenient access to our high-quality produce available at the best value.
"Representing a multi-million-pound investment, the proposals also include the creation of new jobs for the community.
"We are keen to gain feedback from as many people as possible to ensure the plans best meet their needs ahead of submitting planning. We look forward to sharing and discussing our plans with everyone.”
The first Lidl store in the UK opened in 1994 and, almost 30 years on, they now have almost 1,000 branches across Britain.
They were named as the UK’s cheapest supermarket earlier this month. If their plan for a store in Burton Latimer gets the go-ahead they will be in competition with Sainsbury’s, which has a supermarket in the town’s High Street.

- 80% of the resources under the PMJVK have been earmarked for projects related to education, health and skill development.
- About 33 to 40 % of resources under the PMJVK have been specifically allocated for women-centric projects.
- The revised scheme is further leading to a lessening of the gap between the national average and the minority communities with regard to backwardness parameters.
- Earlier only those Cluster of Villages which were having at least 50% population of Minority Community was taken. The population criteria have been lowered to 25% for inclusive growth.
- The restructured programme aims to provide better socio-economic infrastructure facilities to the minority communities particularly in the field of education, health & skill development.
- This would further lead to a lessening of the gap between the national average and the minority communities with regard to backwardness parameters.
- MsDP was launched in 2008-09 by the Ministry of Minority Affairs.
- The developmental gaps/deficits in identified backward minority concentration areas are addressed by topping up of existing Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) of various Central ministries/departments.
- It also provides for taking up innovative projects which are not covered by any of the existing CSS of various ministries.
- Other schemes which aim at the inclusive growth of the minority communities

Wholesale Inflation at a 4-Year High of 5.77%
- Inflation at the wholesale level rose to 5.77% in June, up from 4.43% in May which is also the highest since December 2013. This rise is driven in large part by rising fuel prices along with rising food inflation.
Wholesale Price Index
- Wholesale Price Index (WPI) measures the average change in the prices of commodities for bulk sale at the early stage of transactions.
- WPI basket does not cover services.
- In India, WPI is also known as the headline inflation rate.
- In India, Office of Economic Advisor (OEA), Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry calculates the WPI.
- The base year of All-India WPI has been revised from 2004-05 to 2011-12 in May 2017 to align it with the base year of other macroeconomic indicators like the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Index of Industrial Production (IIP).
- The new definition of wholesale price index does not include taxes in order to remove the impact of fiscal policy.
- The change in base year was recommended of the Working Group under the chairmanship of Late Dr Saumitra Chaudhuri.
IMF Cuts India's Growth Forecast for 2018 to 7.3%
- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected India’s growth rate as 7.3% in 2018 and 7.5% in 2019 as against 6.7% in 2017.
- However, the latest growth rate projection for India is slightly less — 0.1 percentage point in 2018 and 0.3 percentage points in 2019 — than its April projections. Yet, India remains the fastest growing country among major economies.
- In its updated World Economic Outlook (WEO) report, the IMF noted that the reduction in growth is because of negative effects of higher oil prices on domestic demand and faster-than-anticipated monetary policy tightening due to higher expected inflation.
- The IMF also projected the global growth to reach 3.9% in 2018 and 2019.
World Economic Outlook
- The World Economic Outlook (WEO) is a survey conducted and published by IMF.
- It is published biannually and partly updated two times a year.
- It analyzes economic developments and policies in its member countries. It also projects developments in the global financial markets and economic system.
- The IMF also publishes Global Financial Stability Report.
M777 Ultra-Light Howitzer (ULH)
- In November 2016, India signed a deal with the U.S. government under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) programme for 145 M777 guns.
- The M777 is a 155 mm, 39-calibre towed artillery gun made of titanium and aluminium alloys and weigh just four tonnes, making it transportable by helicopters.

text: Eosinophilic inflammation is a feature of a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including eosinophil-associated GI disorder, allergy, inflammatory bowel disease, and parasite infection. Elucidating the mechanisms of eosinophil infiltration into the GI tract is important to the understanding of multiple disease processes. We hypothesize that eosinophilia in the large intestine (colon) can be induced by an antigen in a host that is associated with Th2-skewed antigen-specific immune responses. To investigate the importance of antigenic triggering, we established polarized antigen-specific Th2 type responses in BALB/c mice, using ovalbumin in conjunction with aluminum hydroxide. Upon challenge at the colonic mucosa through transient (3–4 days) expression of the antigen gene encoded in an adenovirus vector, sensitized animals developed significant subepithelial colonic inflammation, characterized by marked eosinophilic infiltration, and the presence of enlarged and increased numbers of lymphoid follicles. The alterations peaked around day 5 and resolved over the next 5–10 days, and no epithelial cell damage was detected through the entire course. Administration of a control (empty) adenovirus vector did not lead to any pathological changes. These data suggest that colonic eosinophilia can be induced by exposure to an antigen associated with preexisting Th2-skewed responses. Thus the model established here may provide a useful tool to study GI and, in particular, colonic inflammation with respect to underlying mechanisms involved in the recruitment and the immediate function of eosinophils.

Against d4 i also play e6 somtimes to ente the french defence if possible...
Anyone else wanna say sth?
Also i think it would be interesting if anyone can write the basic repertoires of various GMs just to see what GMs play the openings we do so that we can more easily find games around it...(eg Kasparov played a lot the KID and Grunfeld especially vs Karpov in Lyon)
i play either 1. e4 focusing on scotch, bb5 sicilian, two knights french and ck OR 1. b3. as black i play french vs e4, nimzo indian vs d4 with Nc3 and qid vs most other things.
1.d4 usually, but sometimes 1.e4. 1.b3 and 1.Nc3 are my unorthodox replies.
As black: Sicilian, Ruy Lopez, Qf6 or Qh4 Scotch, ...g6 variation to avoid four knights defense since four knights is drawish and to break symmetry early, Sicilian Paulsen, Scveningen, and Najdorfs depending on how the transpositions go. Once in awhile I'll go 1...b6 against 1.e4.
Against 1.d4:Either the Leningrad Dutch or Nimzo or Queen's Indian.
Against 1.f4: 1...c5
Against unorthodox: 1...e5, occupy the center, usually with ...Nf6.
How do you avoid the 4 knights with g6?Can you please elaborate?do you mean 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 g6 or 3. ...Nf6 4.Bc4 g6...?
1.e4,e5 2.Nf3,Nc6 3.Nc3,g6
After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bc4 is probably not best in view of 4...Nxe4 among other moves, but 4.Bb5 is perfectly playable as may be 4.g3, the Glek variation.
I play 3...Nf6 because I play the Two Knights Defense and Ruy mainlines.
I also look at 1. b3 for white and 1...d6 for black.
You are probably always better prepared than most of your opponents. This weekend I am playing it for the first time in an OTB tournament.
My reasoning is: Rather play a single opening that you know well than attempt a main line with many theory. With my work I dont have so much time to spent on learning big opening systems.
How did the tourney turn out and do you have any games you are willing to post?
After years of playing sharp, trappy openings, I am trying to force myself to play positionally. So I've adopted the Qd8 Scandinavian and the Orthodox QGD, both very solid for Black. With White I tried the English for a while, but I always go back to e4, where I have lines I like against most things. Still having trouble against the Sicilian, but am trying the Kopec system. Against e5, I'd like to wean myself off the Vienna Gambit and play something like the Four Knights (Scotch or Glek variations), but it's hard to break the habit when there are all those traps to play for.
Um, I won't give away everything because I know a lot of the tournament players in the MD/DC/VA chess scene whom I run into in my tournaments are on chess.com and these forums sometimes, but I can tell you that I can play both 1. e4 and 1. d4 depending on what my opponent plays against them and the situation. Currently I am transitioning from primarily 1. d4 to primarily 1. e4 and 1. d4 is reserved for certain situations or if I know what my opponent plays against it and am particularly comfortable. What I will say is with 1. e4 I don't play the most aggressive or topical stuff. I just like simple positions. I play offbeat lines in the Ruy, the Bb5 or c3 Sicilians, and sometimes the Nd2 French (although that may change). As black I can also play multiple things. I primarily play 1. e4 e5 and 1. d4 d5 (with Classical Slav defense coming up) but in certain situations I also may play the French against 1. e4 or even the Czech Benoni against 1. d4. My repertoire gives me positions that I am good in, but maybe I should work on playing more open positions than I currently am. I don't know.
I cheat a little bit. In sparring against the computer and online games, I use Sargon IV to choose my first 2 moves. Then play from there.
This insight comes from Kung Fu. Like Shaolin 5 animals Kung Fu. You have to be able to fight like 5 different animals, or however many animals there are. Fight fierce like a tiger. Fight clever like a dragon. Fight graceful like a crane. Fight fast like snake. Fight precise like an eagle. Fight unpredictable like a monkey, and so on. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and they have rock-paper-scissors relationships between them.
Playing this way allows me to be adaptable in any situation. I'm never in an unfamiliar situation.
The character Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat fascinates me. The ability to fight in any style fascinates me.
"Your Tiger-Crane is no match for my Eagle Claw, hah hah."
Maybe I shouldn't have said that 3.Bd3 is bad, since that's where the Bishop goes anyway in just about any line. It's the c4 part of it you want to avoid as White
Weren't you on a kick for a while playing 1.b4, or was it something else? What were your findings, and are you still playing it regularly?
Study Kasparov's games. He's a universal player with calculation and strategy as his biggest strengths. Spassky, Botvinnik, and Fischer are also relatively well rounded universal players as well.

George Kurtz literally wrote the book on hacking. The seminal Hacking Exposed series that Kurtz co-authored started back in 1999 and is now in its seventh edition.
Over that time period, Kurtz started off as the CEO and founder of Foundstone, which was acquired by McAfee in 2004 for $86 million. When Kurtz left McAfee in 2011, he was worldwide CTO and EVP of the company. Since 2012, Kurtz has been on a different mission, taking action against security threats as the CEO and founder of Crowdstrike.
This week, Crowdstrike launched its Falcon active defense platform. Kurtz explained to eSecurity Planet that Falcon is a cloud-based platform that fuses real-time detection of targeted attacks with actionable security intelligence.
“We want to be able to identify and attribute targeted attacks in real-time,” Kurtz said. “Legacy technologies just aren’t capable of dealing with targeted attacks.”
While Falcon runs in the cloud, end-users get their data to Crowdstrike by way of small sensors that run on Windows and Mac platforms.
The real key for Crowdstrike isn’t just the attack identification, but rather it’s about identification of who is behind the attack.
“The system doesn’t rely on signatures, it relies on what I would call ‘adversary trade craft’,” Kurtz said. “There are only a few moves the bad buys can make.”
As a metaphor, Kurtz noted that digital attacks are the equivalent to trying to rob a bank. It doesn’t matter what the getaway car is, at some point the criminal has to get the money and get away.
“What we’re looking for across the kill chain is the activity that would be indicative of adversary action,” Kurtz said. “Even if the attacker is using a 0-day flaw, that doesn’t matter to us, since our technology is about being able to link over time what is actually taking place and being able to associate it with a given group.”
While the Falcon platform is about providing actionable intelligence, in its initial iteration it doesn’t directly include threat prevention capabilities.
“Today, Falcon is about visibility and tomorrow it will be about prevention,” Kurtz said. “We sit at a pretty low level in the stack, so we do have the ability to control execution, but today it’s our view that when it comes to advanced attacks, people want to learn more.”
While Kurtz noted that obviously an enterprise will want to have good hygiene and block attacks, that’s not always the right course of action.
“In many cases, if you simply block an attack immediately, you’re going to have an adversary that will change tactics and keep trying to get in,” Kurtz said. “We have customers that want to understand what the adversary is after before they take an action.”
Overall, Kurtz stressed that in his view, it is impossible to keep a determined adversary out. As such, he figures it’s best to get as much information as you can so you can compress the time that an adversary has access.
“It doesn’t matter what vendor you talk to, there is no magic wand or bullet for security,” Kurtz said.
The idea of collecting information in an effort to better understand risk and attacks is not new one. SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) vendors have been trying to do the same kind of thing, though Kurtz stresses that Crowdstrike is different.
Kurtz explained that if, for example, a Windows 7 user turned on all the event logging capabilities, the user would likely crush the performance of the machine. And he argued that the user would not be getting a complete view of what is actually happening.
“We have created a programmable state machine where we are able to keep track of state and link it together and do that in a very performant way,” Kurtz said. “We can tell when something executed and where it came from, and we maintain state over time, even after persistent reboots.”
The Crowdstrike technology overall is an effort by Kurtz and his co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch, who had been the VP of threat research at McAfee, to solve a problem that their former employer was not able to solve.
“Dmitri and I saw the damage from targeted attacks and we saw that existing technologies weren’t doing the job,” Kurtz said. “I traveled 300,000 miles in my last year at McAfee, and it become old to a big enterprise customer and, after pleasantries, have to answer why after buying our technology they still had a targeted attack problem.”
The challenge is that the traditional view of information security is to view the problem as a malware problem.
“We view this as an adversary problem,” Kurtz said.

|Scientific Name:||Zaedyus pichiy|
|Species Authority:||(Desmarest, 1804)|
|Taxonomic Notes:||Two subspecies are described but require confirmation: Z. p. pichiy and Z. p. caurinus (Gardner 2007).|
|Red List Category & Criteria:||Near Threatened ver 3.1|
|Assessor/s:||Superina, M. & Abba, A.M.|
|Reviewer/s:||Roig, V.G. & Seitz, V.|
Zaedyus pichiy is listed as Near Threatened as, although relatively widespread and present in a number of protected areas, it is hunted significantly, especially in northern and eastern portions of its range, with local extinctions recorded in some areas; there is little known about the declines in the southern part of its range. Across its range, the species is thought likely to have undergone a decline in the order of 20% over the past 10 years or so. It almost qualifies as Threatened under criterion A2d.
|Range Description:||This small armadillo ranges from Argentina (Mendoza, San Luis, and southwestern Buenos Aires) and eastern Chile south to the Straits of Magellan. It is found from sea level to 2,500 m asl.|
|Range Map:||Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.|
|Population:||Z. pichiy is not abundant in southern Buenos Aires Province (A.M. Abba pers. comm. 2004), and its abundance has declined in Mendoza Province within the last 10 years (M. Superina pers. comm. 2004).|
|Habitat and Ecology:||This mostly solitary species is found in desert, xeric grassland and shrubland, and Patagonian steppe habitats, always with sandy soils (including volcanic soil). It can be found in some degraded habitats. Animals have a relatively large home range within their arid habitat. The female gives birth to one or two young.|
|Major Threat(s):||Z. pichiy is threatened by hunting for food and sport, including hunting with dogs. An epidemic of an unknown disease has locally affected the species in some areas, and appears to be associated with rainy periods. It is threatened to some degree by overgrazing of its habitat by cattle.|
|Conservation Actions:||Z. pichiy is present in many protected areas. Hunting of this species in Argentina and Chile continues, even though this is prohibited.|
