Over the past few years, many obituaries of the newspaper business have been written. The growing tsunami of instant information combined with increasing accessibility to this information has shaken the comfortable “moat-like” business model of newspapers to the core. Few other case studies better define Joseph Schumpeter’s concept of “creative destruction”. Can Steve Jobs’ iPad save the industry?
As investors, most of us rely heavily on professional journalists who are paid to uncover breaking stories on the economy and individual companies. In addition to reading direct sources of information on companies, access to quality journalism can often influence investment decisions. From a broader standpoint, high quality journalism is also necessary for maintenance of a free society.
The question of when “news syndication” becomes outright theft will be a defining issue of the next decade and will determine whether a viable economic model exists for professional journalism. Read this article for more details.
Ken Auletta is apparently a brave author given his willingness to write about a story where the ending is still very much unfinished in Googled: The End of the World as We Know It. Mr. Auletta provides a great deal of insight regarding Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Google’s founders, along with a good description of Google’s meteoric rise over the past decade. However, the more interesting aspect of the narrative involves the insights provided by Mr. Auletta and many technology leaders who are quoted extensively throughout the book. Read this article for more details.
Barron’s published an interesting article this weekend by Jonathan A. Knee, director of the Media Program at Columbia Business School and co-author of The Curse of the Mogul. (Note: Mr. Knee’s co-author for the book is Bruce Greenwald who has been discussed in the past.) Mr. Knee’s article pertains directly to an topic that appeared here in May regarding newspapers and “creative destruction”. Read this article for more details.

Set for Week 4 kicking duties
Badgley will serve as the Bears' placekicker in Sunday's game against the Giants, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Badgley signed with the Bears on Saturday and will now start for the team in place of Cairo Santos (personal). The veteran converted 18 of his 22 field-goal tries across 13 games between the Colts and Titans last season, but rain and wind could impact Sunday's contest and therefore limit kicking opportunities.

Albany -- After struggling through all of last season, the Monroe girls basketball team is turning things around in a big way this year.
The Tornados are under new leadership, with a new game-plan, and are starting to give some old rivals new worries.
Monroe did not win a single game all of last season.
Head coach Cheryl Cheeks says, "We're working hard every day. We're stressing defense. Just trying to learn the game, and that's what we're teaching the girls: How to play the game."
The Lady Tornados are much improved this year, highlighted by a 49-47 overtime at Westover, something Monroe hadn't done in a long time.
Senior Dominique Gilbert says, "Not since I've been here, we haven't (beat them)."
Coach Cheeks adds, "I'm not worried about what they did in the past. I'm just trying to work on things that we need to work on for us to be successful."
The Tornados came up just short against top-ranked Terrell County from Class-A Saturday night, with a shot to win at the buzzer not falling true.
"It was a heartbreaker," says Cheeks, "but it was good for our morale."
Gilbert says, "They weren't expecting us to play like that. But it was easy. All we had to do was play like the coach told us to, and we almost accomplished our goal."
Sophomore Lakeisha Jackson says things are starting to come together under first year head coach Cheryl Cheeks.
"At first we played selfish," says Jackson, "but now we've come together as a team and learned how to pass the ball."
And the senior Gilbert says Monroe has high expectations for the remainder of the season.
"Be region champs," says Gilbert. "Do what we have to do. Nobody expects us to win, but we're making a big impact by what we're doing. Just working together."
Monroe is 4-7 overall, 2-2 in the region, and host rival Dougherty Tuesday at six o'clock.

US Broadcaster Loses Myanmar Outlet Over Rohingya Name
A U.S. government-affiliated broadcaster that provides news to countries in Asia where freedom of information is restricted is losing its local partner in Myanmar after refusing demands that it stop using the term "Rohingya" to describe an oppressed Muslim minority. Monday was the last day that the DVB Media Group's network would carry its television broadcasts, said Radio Free Asia spokesman Rohit Mahajan. He said RFA told Myanmar authorities that it was unwilling to bow to their pressure to use a term other than Rohingya. About 700,000 Rohingya have fled to neighboring Bangladesh since the government launched a violent counterinsurgency campaign last August in western Myanmar, where most live. Many people in Myanmar call the Rohingya "Bengali" to reflect their contention that they are illegal migrants from Bangladesh rather than natives. The government refuses to recognize the Rohingya as an official ethnic minority and denies most the...

World Boxing News is sad to report that heavyweight Jim Strohl is destitute and homeless just a decade after retirement.
But it’s not all bad news. Strohl chooses to live this way.
The 51-year-old was spotted by the famous Kronk Gym on social media, looking worse for wear in Las Vegas.
Boasting a sign with his boxing record of 27-9 with 21 knockouts, Strohl accepts help from anyone to keep himself fed and watered.
It’s a sad but all-too-familiar story when boxers who don’t make it to the top are financially unstable later in life.
Strohl made his own choice on the matter in his attempts to stick it to the government.
Turning pro in 1996, Strohl racked up 16 straight victories with 13 stoppages before losing to Calvin Lampkin. Strohl came storming back to reel off another seven KO’s.
His career peaked in 2005 when he fought for the NABC Heavyweight title. Facing Rob Calloway at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Strohl went down in six rounds.
Strohl subsequently moved down to light heavyweight and lost five times in a row before walking away in 2010.
Within four years, Strohl was on the streets and had dropped out of a university course. Speaking to medium.com in an article entitled ‘Cinderella Man,’ Strohl said about his life.
After finding out his father was a Palestinian refugee and a Muslim, not Christian, Strohl had an awakening.
“That’s when I woke up and realized I’ve been misled on many things – our politics, our religion,” says Strohl.
“I picked up the Quran after finding out my dad was Muslim, and I felt it was written directly toward me. It tells you to fight against Jihad, which is fighting against the oppressor.
“When I woke up and realized who the oppressor really is, Uncle Sam Rothschild, everything changed for me.
Homeless by choice
“The government is a big Caucasian country that helps the white man destroy all the diversity and people of color. They’re serving the Illuminati.
“The Freemasonry, the Masonic Temple, the Shriners, the Odd fellows, and the Mafia. They want us to obey by putting us in debt and keeping many truths from us,” added Strohl.
“I guess I just threw the fear aside, and I jumped right in front of the bus,” says Strohl. “Our government is a fascist bus. They’re riding down the road.
“For you to run right in front of them and say stop, it’s kind of risk-taking. They’re just going to run over me.
“There are people that want me to be silent and do what? Beg on my knees begging for food stamps?
“I refuse to work for the government and help them with their lies and what they’re doing and most of all pay Uncle Sam.”


This paper describes a 'toolbox' for modeling liquid cooling system networks within vehicle thermal management systems. Components which can be represented include pumps, coolant lines, control valves, heat sources and heat sinks, liquid-to-air and liquid-to-refrigerant heat exchangers, and expansion tanks. Network definition is accomplished through a graphical user interface, allowing system architecture to be easily modified. The elements of the toolbox are physically based, so that the models can be applied before hardware is procured. The component library was coded directly into MATLAB/SIMULINK and is intended for control system development, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, and as a system emulator for on-board diagnostics and controls purposes. For HIL simulation and on-board diagnostics and controls, it is imperative that the model run in real-time. This is especially challenging for thermal-fluid networks because there can be differences of several orders of magnitude between the fastest eigenvalues (usually due to pressure development and flow redistribution within the network) and the slowest eigenvalues (usually due to energy storage in metal components). A novel approach called time scale factoring was used to overcome this obstacle, and it is shown that this technique provides sufficient speed and accuracy for the intended application. This method enables real-time simulation of thermal management systems without requiring explicit knowledge of network topology. Model integrity has been validated by applying it to several test cases. Model capability is shown through a sample application to a sample cooling system. Because of the generic nature of the elements, the toolbox can be applied to a wide variety of fluid networks in commercial, non-commercial, and military vehicles.

A team from the Rothamsted Research center, UK, has developed plants capable of mass-producing fat molecules resembling those in human breast milk.
The scientists modified the way a type of oilseed plant generates fat molecules by introducing a mutation that changed the location within the cell of an enzyme responsible for processing fat. As a result, over 70% of the fat produced by the genetically engineered plants had the same structure as that found in human milk. In contrast, only 3% of wild-type plant fat molecules have this structure.
The study, published in PNAS, could lead to a cheaper way to produce fat molecules similar to those in human milk, and make the formula milk contents healthier.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Twin Cities ER and urgent care will remain closed Monday as 50 of its nurses strike.
The nurses at WestHealth in Plymouth are in a dispute over wages and summer holiday pay. Sonya Worner is one of the health care workers on strike.
"We do not understand how such a small compensation that we're asking for turns into shutting down an ER location," Worner said.
Allina Health says patients who need the ER or urgent care will be directed to other care sites. The rest of WestHealth's services are open.
A statement from Allina says during negotiations, it offered an immediate wage increase and agreed to some of the union's other priority issues.

Join The Roar from 10:30pm AEST for live scores and commentary.
Arsene Wenger insists Arsenal's players and fans have demonstrated their love for Alexis Sanchez- and has called on the player to repay their faith with more match-winning performances, starting at Chelsea.
Chelsea make three changes from the team that beat FK Qarabag 6-0 in the Champions League, with David Luiz, Victor Moses and Alvaro Morata in for Andreas Christensen, Davide Zappacosta and Michy Batshuayi. This is Arsenal versus Chelsea and I can only find one Arsenal player.
Sanchez has started two games so far after missing the opening weeks of the season through injury, and is only named as a sub after playing the full 90 minutes of Arsenal's 3-1 win over Cologne in the Europa League on Thursday.
These include a loss away to Stoke City and a 4-nil thrashing at the hands of Liverpool.
And for that reason, Neville is shocked to see them feature today at Stamford Bridge.
First to Community Shield in a penalty shootout, before defeating them 2-1 in the FA Cup final earlier in the year thanks to goals from Alexis and Aaron Ramsey.
Asked if Sanchez's battling qualities would be key against Chelsea, Wenger replied: "Yes, but he played at Liverpool as well". Meanwhile, summer signing Alexandre Lacazette starts for the Gunners today.
Combined XI's are, by their very nature, meant to cause debate but despite looking like Merson is taking a dig at his former club, there can be little argument at this moment in time that Chelsea would absolutely dominate any fictional combined XI were it to play in some sort of fictional combined XI league.
Sanders said that pre-hurricane preparation, including importing supplies from the USA , helped provide for the evacuees. Rebuilding homes and infrastructure could take at least six months, officials said.
Le ministre de l'Intérieur Gérard Collomb a indiqué dimanche au Grand Jury RTL-LCi-Le Figaro que les autorités étaient mobilisées. Selon La chaîne météo *, une tempête tropicale, nommée MARIA, a pris naissance hier samedi à 2000 km au sud-est des Antilles.
Et en ce qui concerne la toilette à l'aide d'un seau d'eau, il s'agit visiblement d'une extrapolation des propos du président. Plus drôle, l'épouse du militaire aurait été " très vexée " qu'on raconte que le Président avait dormi à la dure chez elle.
Still, the border wall could become a sticking point, along with a path to citizenship. "I don't know another country", said Mr. Demonstrators in lower Manhattan on September 5th, protesting the Trump administration's initial decision to end DACA.
On the issue of Masood Azhar , Akbaruddin said, he is a terrorist and we will try to bring him within the ambit of the law. This is the for the first time in 12 years that the General Assembly voted to include the item on the formal agenda.
Eric Greitens asked people to remain calm. "I am sobered by this outcome". "Orders to disperse were given numerous times". Stockley said he found a revolver between the centre console and passenger seat of Smith's vehicle .
Both King and MacArthur doubted the GOP bill would be able to reduce rates enough to offset the cost of losing the deduction . Republicans spooked world markets in their ardor to cut spending when Democrat Barack Obama was in the White House.
Speaking afterwards, Moore said "He's a very good horse, he's an Irish Derby victor and a Group 2-winning two-year-old as well". Despite jockey Ryan Moore's worldwide success, he had never won the Group 1 William Hill St Leger at Doncaster.

City officials said eight patients from a Florida nursing home have died in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma . Almost 2.7 million homes and businesses - about one in four buildings - are still without power in Florida.
Syracuse runs their way past Central Michigan
With the game tied at 17, Dontae Strickland bolted in from nine yards out to give SU a 24-17 lead at halftime. Syracuse added two touchdowns and a field goal in the second half to pull away with the lead.
Paul Ryan won't commit to a revenue-neutral tax plan
So far, the White House and GOP negotiators have areas of overlap but also areas of disagreement in their tax cut approach. But Republicans have already rejected revenue-raising options, including a border adjustment import tax and a carbon tax.

I haven’t been feeling well the last few days (sore throat/feverish) and CANNOT stop eating! I ate a few pieces of the pizza I ordered last night before Fiance even came home, along with a bag of m&ms! So much for eating well for the 2 months before the wedding 🙂
Post # 3
Nope. Opposite. I eat next to nothing when I am sick. Nothing sounds good to me. Luckily I only get sick like once a year. (Knock on wood)
Post # 4
Yes!! And I always thought I was alone on this. I always overeat when I’m sick!
Post # 5
Um, like a garbage disposal. I throw back insane amounts of food when I’m sick. Of course, this is compared to my daily intake of food which is way above normail to begin with. Ps–pizza stands no chance with me. If I were sick right now I might try to eat the whole thing!
Post # 6
Yes yes yes! FH always forbids me from eating when I’m sick. I had swineflu and seriously all I wanted to do was eat. I had a massive food orgy when I got better.
Post # 7
I’m the total opposite. Sometimes I’m like, “why the heck haven’t I gotten sick yet? I need to lose weight!”. Lol, kidding. But I’m a person who loves to eat for the taste of the food, and if I’m sick, I can’t taste a thing. Last time I was sick, I made one box of ‘rice a roni’ (so random) and it lasted me 2.5 days!
Post # 8
I clear out the fridge and pantry when I’m sick! My hunger is just never satisfied for some reason. Glad I’m not the only one :p
Post # 9
I’m so glad it’s not just me!! I get up every 20 minutes or so for a new snack. And I’m not working out either. Ugh!!
Post # 10
It depends on what I have. If I’m really congested, I usually have no appetite. However, right now I’m down for the count with tonsilitis, and I can’t stop eating even though it hurts to swallow. Weird!
Post # 11
I don’t eat much at all when I’m sick.
I do, however, eat like a complete HOG when it’s “that time of the month”. I can throw back some food like no one has ever seen.
Post # 12
Depends on what kind of “sick” i am. Sometimes i find myself eating MORE food b/c i can’t taste it. So I rely only on texture and “healthy food” texture isn’t as pleasant =.
Post # 13
depends on what kind of sick I am and how sick I am.
Sometimes I can’t get out of bed or stay upright long enough to get something to eat or actually sit up to eat. Sometimes I can graze all day and I still end up losing a pound or two.
Post # 14
Nope, when I’m sick I just plain can’t eat. The last time I got the flu, I was sick for a week…. went to go pick up my wedding dress after I got better and the darn thing was enormous!
Post # 15
i do! makes me get well better…
Post # 16
It’s varied in the past… I think it’s not that I eat a lot when I’m sick, it’s that I eat the wrong foods. I was raised with the “treat yourself when you’re sick” philosophy, so I equate a sore throat to ice cream or a frappucino. Bad me!

In 2012 Didier van der Linden, a Belgian lover of British cars, stumbled across a mysterious wreck in France. It turned out to be the track day car British club racer Ian Stronach built for himself almost fifty years ago. After a painstaking restoration, this unique little car is on the road again – and on the track. Meet the Vixen GT.
In March 2015 this olive green sportscar was presented to the public at the Antwerp Classic Salon, after a four-year restoration project. Pundits searched their archives in vain for information on the small, mid-engined coupé. Just as the general public they couldn’t work out what car this was, where it came from, and – no less important – if it’s as powerful as it looks. Didier van der Linden has the answers: this is a Vixen GT, built in the early sixties, in Britain. And yes, it’s quiote powerful.
Van der Linden did not only restore this car into much more than its former glory, he also unravelled its fascinating history. That history begins with Ian Stronach, a former racing driver and certified petrolhead from Manchester. Stronach was a well-known name in the British club-racing world during the sixties and seventies, but elsewhere he was just one of the many unsung heroes who spent their entire careers motor racing without ever reaching the pinnacle of motor sports. Stronach drove in Formula 2, Formula 4, Formula Libre and Formula 5000, popular classes in the overcrowded British racing world of those decades, in which many much more famous racing drivers of the age took part. He drove in single seaters from Eagle or Kincraft – and built his own cars as well. He even did win a race or two, but apart from his racing prowess, he was better known for being a gifted engineer.
Somewhere in the early sixties Stonach decided to build his own track day car. He wanted it to be light, fast and mid-engined. And he wanted a coupé – which was quite unusual in a time when most cars with this configuration were barchettas. Stronach started his project around 1962 by building a steel tubular chassis, adding a modified nose section from a Cooper-Jaguar MkII, directly sourced with John Cooper. It took him two years to finish his project.
No wonder it took him so long. Stronach had a racing career to pursue. Moreover, his car was completely hand-built. Not only did he design and weld the spaceframe himself, but he also designed and created the bodywork from scratch. “He even designed the car with an integrated rear spoiler – the first time any car had such a feature”, Didier says. Stronach did use some existing parts: the suspension came from Triumph and to power his creation he had his sights set on a 3.5 litre V8 engine from GM. He couldn’t find a suitable example, though, and had to settle for one of his racing engines – a Ford Kent 1.6 litre four cylinder with compressor, good for 160 PS. Christened Vixen GT, finished in a bright red racing colour, the car with chassis number V1X1 was finally finished in 1964. Tests at Oulton Park proved the Vixen could easily get to a top speed of around 120 mph.
48 Years later Didier van der Linden found the car stored in a farmyard in Strassbourg. “I was looking for a restoration project. I wanted to buy an aluminium car, because I already had restored a few cars, but had never worked with aluminium before. I found this car on the internet. The caption only read: ‘Prototype, 1964’, but nothing was mentioned about its history or even its name. When I saw it, I could not figure out what it was and the owner didn’t know either.” Moreover, the car was in a pitiful state, Didier remembers. “The bodywork was complete, but the aluminium was badly damaged and corroded in many places. The paint was completely gone, it had the wrong wheels, no engine and the interior was full of sand. The only original items still attached to the car were the brake system, suspension, steering wheel and seats. The other parts came in a big bag.” Still Didier decided to buy it. “I didn’t know what is was, but I could see it was a sportscar with a racing inspired suspension. I was intrigued.”
It took Didier a year to retrace the history of the car he had bought. He discovered that Ian Stronach parted with his creation after only a short time. After that the Vixen was owned – and raced – by a succession of drivers. Didier found Vixen-owners whose names will sound familiar to British members of the club racing community, but didn’t ring any bells with him: Bob Baxters, Roger Cole, Roy Hill. “Hill also took the car to Europe”, Didier explains, pointing at a sticker on the windscreen. “This is a paddock sticker from Zandvoort, somewehere in the seventies.” After Hill, one Wayne Philips, an American photographer, took possession of the Vixen. He apparently sold the car to British racing car manufacturer CTG in Dorset, which subsequently sold it to British driver Graham Capel. The last name in the long list of Vixen-owners Didier could find was that of French racing driver Lionel Laglave, who took the car with him to France in 1980.
The effort Didier had to put into finding out about the car’s history was one thing, restoring it quite another. “I had to start from scratch”, he says. Luckily, he could call upon the man who had built the Vixen all those years ago. “Ian Stronach is 81 now, but he’s still a petrolhead and he’s mentally as sharp as a twenty year old”, says Didier. “He helped me a lot; he made a number of new technical drawings for me, to show me how he intended the car to be constructed. He gave me invaluable information about the parts he used and the way in which he used them.” Still, restoring the bodywork was a daunting task. “It was like a giant jigsaw puzzle; I had to find out how everything fits together and missing parts I had to make myself.”
Only the roof and the nose are still those from the original car – the rest of the bodywork Didier made himself, using Stronach’s advice, old photographs and some technical drawings. In the process, he taught himself to work with aluminium, using homemade wooden models for shaping the metal (of which dozens litter his workshop), much patience – and YouTube. “I must have watched thousands of instructional YouTube videos in which people explain how to work aluminium. I bought an English wheel and taught myself how to use it. It’s a matter of trial and error – and perseverance.”
In the end, it’s the result that counts and in case of the Vixen, Didier has done an outstanding job. Compare the 2016-Vixen with pictures of the original car and you’ll find that almost every detail is right – and if they aren’t, there’s a good reason for it. All windows, except the windscreen (on which the Zandvoort sticker is protected by a special piece of coating), are of Plexiglas. The roof panel is removable, as is the vertical grille in the rear, flanked by two massive exhausts. The rear lights are from a Ford Cortina MkI. Only the body colour isn’t anywhere near original. “It’s Oliva Verde, a colour used by Alfa Romeo in the fifties”, Didier explains. “I love Alfa Romeo almost as much as I do British cars, so I definitely wanted that colour for my Vixen. But the striping is inspired by the colour scheme used by Roy Hill.” The nose is graced by a colourful, meticulously recreated Vixen-logo, with its stylized foxes’ head.
Thanks to many, many hours of painstakingly re-creating this unique little car, Didier has built the sportscar that Ian Stronach wasn’t able to build. It is visually identical to the original, but technologically it’s much better, safer and faster than it ever was. Especially as it is propelled by the engine it should have had all along: a 3.5 litre Buick V8. Weighing only 144 kilos, it’s significantly lighter than the cast-iron Ford Kent-engine Stronach fitted in his original car. The suspension has been beefed up, with stronger supporting arms at the rear and reinforced front supports from a Triumph TR6. The Bilstein shock absorbers have been hand built for this car. The Vixen is fitted with Austin Healy disc brakes all-round, instead of the original inboard braking drums. The original Volkswagen gearbox has been replaced with a much stronger five speed ‘box from a Renault 21 Turbo. And in the cabin the potentially knee-crushing cross beam under the dashboard has been replaced with a safer, higher placed reinforcement.
Climbing aboard is quite a challenge, thanks to the big, wide sills, both doubling as fuel tanks. Once seated in the tight seats with their racing harnesses, the cabin feels remarkably spacious – occupants of 1.80 m or less can easily fit inside the Vixen with headroom to spare. It feels like a cosy office. The pedals are adjustable to anyone’s taste and the perfectly positioned gear lever feels like a logical extension of your arm.
The V8, sitting only a few centimetres behind you, at idle runs at around 1200 rpm, sounding as it should: ominously burbling away until pushing the throttle results in a sharp whine. The acceleration is spectacular. Thanks to its low weight (a mere 880 kilos) and its 280 PS strong V8, the Vixen sprints away like a greyhound. Thanks to the low driving position and the overwhelming engine sound, the sensation of speed is phenomenal. The steering is razor sharp – it feels kart-like, just like the whole car. With its near perfect weight distribution (48/52 percent), incredibly stiff suspension, solid stance and wide tyres the Vixen is perfectly unfazed by any corner taken at even death-defying speeds. It’s neutral in corners – oversteer isn’t present until you really, consciously push the car over its limit. The Vixen GT feels much more like a feral Lotus Elise than a track day car from the sixties – the difference with the Lotus being that, thanks to that smooth V8, you can also leisurely cruise with it in fifth gear. Even then just flooring the throttle suffices to effortlessly kick the Vixen into a frenzy of ear deafening acceleration until you fear the needle on the rev counter will break off.
“I have driven it on the Belgian track of Mettet”, says Didier, “It’s really a dream to drive on the circuit. It’s very stable and mind-blowingly quick. The only problems I encountered were with the cooling of the front brakes. I’m busy devising a method for extra brake-cooling for track use. But apart from that, this car really is as good as Ian Stronach intended it to be.”
Didier van der Lindens Vixen GT is the only example in the world. But not for long. Ian Stronach originally planned a production run of three cars. He even built the tubular chassis’ for the other two cars, but never came around to actually building them. The original frames are now owned by Didier, who plans to build both cars, becoming the biggest – and only – Vixen-collector in the world.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to be adopted by various industries and organizations, a plethora of sectors have seen rapid improvements in their operations. Within the aerospace industry, labor costs, health and safety, human errors, manufacturing, and development all serve as concerns that can be thoroughly improved with data science and machine learning for increased efficiency. As the aerospace industry always strives to speed up processes to meet an ever-growing demand, such technologies can prove beneficial while ensuring high-quality manufacturing and services.
As advertising, healthcare, retail, and other industries have radically been influenced by the capabilities of artificial intelligence, so too can aerospace sectors. From the manufacturing process to day-to-day flight operations, the implementation of improved aerospace engineering & AI can make radical differences in efficiency and safety. As technologies continue to improve, business leaders may also find new avenues in which AI can be used to further its benefit for the industry as a whole.
When designing and manufacturing parts for the aerospace industry, components always need to be lightweight and durable to provide an optimal strength-to-weight ratio for flight. To ensure an optimal balance is met, AI algorithms are paired alongside generative design processes to allow for engineers to take advantage of constraints and parameters in order to find the most efficient and optimal designs. As compared to more conventional methods of design and construction, AI permits engineers to carry out normally long processes very quickly. As 3D printing and generative design continues to be improved upon and implemented for the manufacturing process, components such as aircraft turbines and wings may even be constructed with more ease.
When it comes time for the aircraft to conduct flight operations, aerospace engineering & AI may benefit fuel efficiency, traffic, and more. As one of the highest cost-factors for aviation, fuel efficiency is a critical concern of operators across the globe. With rising fuel costs and a desire to achieve more green operations, artificial intelligence is often used for creating lightweight components that save fuel and for route planning. During a normal flight operation, the climbing phase is where the most fuel is spent. By analyzing various takeoff procedures in regard to their rate of fuel used, aircraft type, pilot route, etc., a trend can be mapped out to create the most fuel-efficient climbing profiles.
As the industry continues to grow and more people are traveling across the globe, artificial intelligence may be used to further air traffic management and safety. With systems that can provide pilots information on weather patterns and smart cameras that monitor entering and exiting aircraft on runways, routes can be managed efficiently for the benefit of all travelers and operators. Furthermore, runway cameras can benefit air traffic management during low-visibility conditions to avoid complications and issues from bottlenecking.
During the operational phase, having as much awareness over the aircraft’s condition as possible is crucial for carrying out proper care and maintenance. Through the implementation of artificial intelligence within flight deck systems, data from aircraft instruments and sensors can be compiled to identify any abnormal situations or issues that may be occurring. As temperature, pressure, moisture, and other factors are all measurable by data systems, operators can detect defects ahead of time so that proper maintenance can be carried out as soon as possible. As such, lengthy downtimes can be avoided to save operators a great amount of time, money, and stress.
Beyond the construction and management of aircraft, artificial intelligence may also benefit customers in regard to management and service. When customers face various common issues, AI-powered chatbots can be used to provide automatic support 24/7. As such, many standard queries can be answered quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, AI can assist in the purchase and cancellation of tickets. As AI continues to serve customers, its capabilities can improve over time through learning. AI can also speed up various processes as well, as it can be used to monitor areas of operations to find sectors that are either slow or need improvement.
As security is always a concern, artificial intelligence may be implemented in order to identify passengers and personnel who are present in an airport. With smart-cameras that have facial recognition, people with criminal records can be spotted quickly and nefarious activity can be detected with ease so that airport security can handle situations as needed. Beyond individuals, AI can also provide threat identification for the operation of various equipment, systems, and more as images and videos can be captured, analyzed, and used for various purposes.
As a final major way in which artificial intelligence can improve operations and safety, such technology is very beneficial for the training of pilots. By utilizing AI alongside virtual reality machines, pilots can undertake simulated flight programs. As such flight programs are designed to act and feel like the real thing, pilots can garner situational experience while artificial intelligence gathers data on various strengths and weaknesses. With the report made by the AI, the pilot’s trainer can find what areas need the most focus, permitting them to create personalized training regiments that are more beneficial and efficient at producing skilled pilots.
While artificial intelligence has revolutionized many sectors of the aerospace industry, it still has a long way to go before it is entirely self-sufficient. As such, employees will often have to assist in various operations alongside artificial intelligence to ensure that no errors are made.

If you, like thousands of others, have resolved to drop a couple pounds this year, look no further for inspiration than to Kirstie Alley. The Cheers star has struggled with her weight in the past, but she’s starting off 2015 much lighter, having spent most of 2014 shedding 50 pounds. Jenny Craig spokeswoman Kirstie Alley is set on losing 10 more pounds after losing 50 pounds and maintaining with the help of the weight loss program.
Alley reportedly lost 50 pounds from April 2014 to January 2015 and has maintained it for a year. In an exclusive interview with Wonderwall, the 65-year old star stated that she wants to lose 10 additional pounds but without going to the gym.
“I might have interest in going down like 10 more pounds. And then that would definitely be the end,” she said.
“I’m not gonna go in a gym,” she added. “That’s not gonna happen.”
Instead of the treadmill and gym equipment, the “Cheers” star keeps active through dancing, yoga and bike riding.
“I was riding my bike around places because it was actually really fun and then [my friends] would ride their bikes with me, and it sort of became this social thing that I really liked,” she said.
“This year, I want to incorporate more exercise [into my life],” she explained. “Fitness is sort of a fun goal for me this year — and finding new, different ways to work out. … I love to dance and I think if a coupe nights a week I went out to some salsa club and just danced for four hours, that would be fun.”
The actress added that she initially only planned to lose 30 pounds but kept going, and that’s how she lost 50. However, the actress said in a recent interview with E! Online that she now finds it “fun” to keep the weight off. She’s not as bothered by weekly weigh-ins with a consultant because a coach can help in keeping with the goals.
She added that she’s also “curious” to see how her body can be transformed; how her abs, arms and body can look at age 65. (Kirstie Alley Workout Plan)Alley revealed that her motivation for fitness is how she’s going to look great for herself and no one else.


Looks like Romney is losing his frenemies in the GOP. OBAMA 2008 – 2016!
Let’s turn that 47% into 100%!
In a bit of political satire in Politico, Paul Ryan is now calling Mitt Romney “The Stench”, as in stench of defeat, and Team Romney refers to Paul Ryan as “Gilligan”. While it may be just humor, it has the air of hitting pretty close to the mark. Ryan and Romney don’t look too comfortable with each other these days.
Where is the bromance we saw in August?
Apparently the bloom is off that rose.
There is an old saying on the trail that you can’t spell campaign without “pain” – while not literally true the pain of the campaign was broadcast across Paul Ryan’s wincing face when Mitt Romney had a moment of unguarded honesty in Ohio.
Romney said, accurately, that President Obama had not raised taxes in the last four years. That moment of candor undercut the Romney/Ryan tickets messaging big time.
Team Romney quickly issued (another) so-called-correction…

Hi everyone,I'm a new member to this forum! I'm planning on getting a peno-scrotal web surgery done. So far I have consulted with Dr. Alter in Los Angeles, and a Urologist in my hometown who specializes in male genitourinary reconstructive surgery and trauma (urethral stricture disease, buried penis, treating fourniers gangrene, etc)
This surgery for me is not cosmetic but something that I have to do due to an issue I have on my scrotum and lower shaft skin that requires me to get surgery. It just so happens, that most of the issue is on the peno-scrotal web. I have never had any surgery done on that area before.My main concerns with the surgery are:The scarring (how noticeable is it? i've heard the scrotum heals well)Losing penis functionality and getting Erectile Dysfunction from getting surgery doneLosing penis lengthThe healing process (how extensive the swelling is before it heals, infections, hematomas, etc)So, I wanted to reach out to the people on this forum and request if you could please share your knowledge/experience on this.
Have any of you had peno-scrotal web, scrotum reduction, or a similar surgery done with Dr. Gary Alter or another Dr? Have any of you had any type of surgery with Dr. Gary Alter? And how did that go?It would be great if you guys could please share your experience, with or without pictures if you\'re comfortable sharing how it scarred or healed over time.
I saw some users like Big BlueBalls and Androguy had webbing surgery with Dr. Alter but didn\'t posted pictures.
I\'ve outlined some of my pros and cons from consulting with both doctors.
Dr. AlterProsMany years of experience doing penoscrotal websPeople on this forum don't seem to have anything bad to say about himConsHe had a bit of an attitude that I wasn't expecting when we consulted, but I think it's because he is very confident and doesn't want to waste time with silly questionsI hope he gives as much care after the surgery is booked that he gives before the surgery. I'm worried that since he is a private practice that he might not feel the need to respond as much after the surgery is done. Whereas the other doctor is backed by a hospital and is obliged to give more care. So I was wondering if Dr. Alter's care is just as good after the surgery is completed as well?He is located away from my state, so I will have to stay in a hotel and leave after 5 days or so, and can't be treated immediately if any issues come up after that Reconstructive Urologist from my hometown ProsHe is specialized in male genitourinary reconstructive surgery and trauma. So he does very complex surgeries like urethral stricture disease, buried penis, treating fourniers gangrene, etcReally patient and has heard out my issueIs in my hometown, so if any issues came up I can get immediate care, as opposed to having to fly to LA for it ConsDoesn't have as much experience for directly doing peno-scrotal webs or has plastic surgery experience. He only really removes scrotum skin if there is some trauma or issue with it, so he doesn't do as many of them per year probably. So the attention to making the scar look good without any dog-ears might not be as goodYoung for a doctor (just over 40 years old). Whereas Dr. Alter has been doing Urology since the 80s
I would probably stay with Dr. Alter - you don\'t have to live with him after the five days are over - so his attitude issue isn\'t really an issue. They have heard it so many times before, the same questions, and the answers that they give are pretty much the same for the same questions WHEN the patient situation is relatively similar.
If you go with doctor #2 and you are not happy with the results, you\'re going to see another doctor again anyway. So I say just stick with the expert in THAT field of peno-scrotal webbing correction.

Flooding has forced the Iowa Transportation Department to close several highways.
Des Moines television station KCCI reported Thursday that U.S. Highway 34 is closed in both directions where it meets U.S. Highway 65 west of Chariton in south-central Iowa. Portions of U.S. Highway 65 also are closed in that area.
Iowa Highway 5 is closed south of Knoxville, near Attica, and Iowa Highway 92 is closed just west of Oskaloosa.
The station says radar readings show the latest storms have dropped between 5 and 6 inches of rain across southern Iowa.
Flash flooding has been reported in other areas of Iowa. In the eastern Iowa city of Solon, some residents turned out to fill sandbags for protecting the city's sewage plant.

Mogadishu (HOL) - A test of broadband speeds by cable.co.uk has revealed that Somalia ranks 184th out of 189 countries. Based on the research, Somalia scored a mean download speed of 0.62Mbps.
Singapore, a wealthy but small city state in south-east Asia, has the fastest internet speed in the world according to the ranking with a download speed of 55.13Mbps.
Yemen, which is in the middle of a civil war, has the slowest internet in the world with downloading at 0.34Mbps.
Downloading the 7.5GB movie would take 18 minutes and 34 seconds at the average speed experienced in Singapore while it would take users over two days to download the same movie in Yemen.
The United States was 21st, with a download rate of 20 Mbps, while Canada was 26th, the United Kingdom was 31st and Australia was further down the list at 55th.
Kenya has the fastest broadband Internet speed in Africa coming it at 51. Morocco and South Africa are ranked 79th and 80th respectively.
Somalia is not too far from neighbours Ethiopia (147th) and Djibouti (151st) and Yemen (189th) despite being one of the last countries to go online.
The five fastest countries have download speeds close to 40x faster than the five slowest.
The rankings are based on data that was collected over a one year period leading up to 10 May this year by M-Lab, a partnership between New America's Open Technology Institute, Google Open Source Research, and Princeton University's PlanetLab.
While the rest of the world was going online, Somalia was embroiled in a civil war that spanned two decades. It finally received its first fibre optic connection through Liquid Telecom in November 2013. According to Internet Live Stats, Somalia’s internet penetration is just 1.7% of the entire population in 2016, but it did enjoy a steady increase of 11.3% and 12.7% between 2012-2014 and 4.6% between 2015 - 2016.

The MLB and team owners are expected to send an economic proposal to the Players Union on Tuesday for review.
Players and owners have conflicting thoughts about how the players should be paid. Players want prorated salaries, meaning they get paid for as long as the season is. If the season is 81 games, then players get half their salary.
However, the owners want to do some sort of a 50-50 revenue split with the players. It sounds great, but the snag is that there won’t be a ton of revenue in 2020. The majority of the revenue will come from TV deals.
So, the players and owners need to find some sort of a middle-ground. Both sides are showing a strong interest in playing, and most doctors and elected officials think it’s safe enough. On Saturday, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that teams could resume practices in preparation for a season.
Last week, the MLB sent a safety proposal to the Players Union, and there doesn’t seem to be many hang-ups there. Players know that they may have to make a few sacrifices and that the season will look different, but are all in if they can figure out the economics.
If everything is figured out, an 82 or so game schedule would be played. There would be three 10-team divisions with all regular-season games played within the division. Home ballparks would be used, and a universal DH would be implemented. The postseason would likely expand to 14-teams, but it’s not clear how seeding would work.
Hopefully, the sides can get everything straightened out, and we can see a 2020 season.


Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, on Monday, voiced his concern that another coronavirus stimulus package will not get done before the upcoming presidential election.
Mnuchin told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is “afraid any deal would be good” for President Donald Trump and his reelection chances.
“Are you frustrated you’re throwing out the bathwater with the baby on some of these things. Do you understand where they’re coming from and that they have legitimate issues on the other side?” Host Joe Kernen asked. “Many people, many Americans are saying 300 billion is better than nothing. It looks like we’re going to get nothing at this point.”
“Well, I’m not going to speculate on whether we’re going to get something or not,” Mnuchin replied. “I think there is a compromise if the speaker is willing to move forward. I am somewhat concerned that she’s afraid any deal will be good for the president, and, obviously, we have politics that are getting in the way.”
Mnuchin went on to say he is working on a continuing resolution with Pelosi this week.
“[T]he speaker and I will be working on the [continuing resolution] this week, which is obviously a priority for us to make sure that we don’t shut down the government,” he outlined.

Saginaw Chippewa Tribe turns to wind to generate power
Posted: Wednesday, February 1, 2012
The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe
of Michigan is building a wind turbine on the reservation.
The 199-foot tall turbine will generate between 300,000-500,000 KW per year, Central Michigan Life reported. The tribe expects to save between $30,000 and $50,000 in energy costs.
Construction is expected to be complete this summer.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, two highly influential Republican figures, recently hosted a highly-publicized donor summit at their home in Salt Lake City. The summit drew a variety of 2024 presidential candidates from across the country, giving them an opportunity to network with high-profile donors and lend their voices to the Republican Party.
The summit was attended by prominent members of the party, such as former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis, and Attorney General Bill Barr. The presence of such influential leaders drew unprecedented attention to the event and made it an ideal platform for the 2024 Republic presidential hopefuls.
The candidate roster was nothing short of impressive. Those in attendance included current sitting senators such as Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton, business magnate Donald Trump Jr., congressmen like Dan Crenshaw and Devin Nunes, and former presidential candidates including John Kasich and Scott Walker.
Romney and Ryan took the opportunity to discuss the platform of the Republican Party going forward and the future of the conservative movement. They encouraged young candidates to strive for leadership that appeals to the values of the nation, and to bring aspects of the party’s policies to the forefront of their campaigns. Romney and Ryan also addressed the power of populism and the importance of working with the current government, reiterating the need to respect the election’s outcome.
The summit opened conversation among the candidates and donors, allowing them to reach an understanding of each other’s ideologies and concerns. In an effort to capitalize on their shared influence, multiple candidates announced the launch of new initiatives to battle against the increasingly partisan divide and rally support for the Republican Party.
Though the summit was primarily aimed at advancing the interests of the Republican Party, it should not be viewed as an expression of political loyalty. Rather, it is a testament to the unity of the party, and to the dedication of the GOP’s leaders to create policies that will help the country. As Mitt Romney stated, “It is our shared goal to ensure that our candidates have the resources they need to succeed in political office.”
In the wake of such a crucial meeting, it’s clear that the Republican Party will continue to strive for success in the years to come. With influential figures such as Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan leading the way, it is only a matter of time before the GOP returns to power.

Having failed to make a deal with the creditors to which it owes some $7 billion, Chrysler will declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy later today, a White House official tells CNN. The filing does not mean the company will cease operations—rather, it represents an opportunity to execute a merger with Fiat. President Obama expressed optimism during last night's press conference "that we can see a resolution that maintains a viable Chrysler auto company."
Chrysler failed to meet today's Treasure Department deadline to put its house in order because it was unable to convince some smaller creditors to accept less than the company owed to discharge its debt. "After a month of tireless negotiations, the Administration went into yesterday afternoon with the full support of Chrysler's key stakeholders, including the UAW and the largest creditors. That support remains," said a White House official.

I am currently working full time on my Vanilla WoW leveling guides. Soon there will be a 1-60 speed leveling guide for Alliance, along with in-game guide versions available for my members area. As of right now, there is no members area, but if you would like to show support for my efforts into this project, you can simply donate to me via Patreon if you like (you will get some cool rewards in return). Or you can donate directly with PayPal if you like. All donations are highly appreciated and they will only motivate me more to continue making the best vanilla WoW leveling guides on the web.
In OSRS, before bonds (their equivalent of tokens) were released, there was a strong gold industry, but most people who bought gold did so by buying bonds on the main game, then finding a dedicated 'swapper' who'd exchange their RS3 gold for an appropriate amount of OSRS gold (taking a cut for themselves, of course). I wonder if a similar system will pop up in classic wow
Once WoW Classic Launches As Appointed, New WoW Currency Just Like WOW Gold Must Be Provided For Almost Anything Including Exchange WoW Items. Exactly, We MMOAH, A Platform Owning Hundreds Of MMO Game Currency Including The Coming World Of Warcraft Classic Gold Keeping Up To Date And Satisfying-Full Inventory, Have Been Selling Game Currency For Several Years To Worldwide Clients, We'll Provide 100% Secure Online Payment System, Fast Delivery And Cheapest Prices Even 100% Refund With NO.1 Reputation Checked On Trustpilot, Ownedcore And Epicnpc Reviews. Now, We Start To Accept WoW Classic Gold Quick Order, Don't Delay Any Longer, Hope A Joyful Trading.
Nov 15 C2C interview with Theloras aka ME Hey everyone, Earlier today I spent some time with the Man, the Myth, the Legend who is Countdown to Classic and we spent some time discussing what I and many other Paladins are most looking forward to in the upcoming WoW Classic demo that will be available during Blizzcon: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/325334774 Since it looks like just Elwynn Forest for the Alliance and Durotar for the Horde will be available to play/test during the upcoming demo/beta, only early level gameplay will be possible to test at any length. But even with that limitation, a major core mechanic for Paladins will be able to be tested and theory crafted. I am of course referring to JUDGEMENT STACKING which I outlined in the thread below along with several other mechanics/talents/items that are still lingering and unanswered questions: Proc Items + Spell Dmg + JotC stacking? https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20760205815#post-1 TLDR - I found actual Vanilla era evidence (posted in the thread above) which stated that all ranks of each individual Judgement stacked with one another - Judgement of Light (JoL), Judgement of Wisdom (JoW) and most critically in this case, Judgement of the Crusader (JotC): With pvp gloves, libram and 3/3 imp JotC = +829 holy damage JotC R1 +79 Holy Damage JotC R2 +90 Holy Damage JotC R3 +113 Holy Damage JotC R4 +148 Holy Damage JotC R5 +182 Holy Damage JotC R6 +217 Holy Damage Since rank 1 Seal/Judgement of the Crusader is learned at level 6 and rank 2 is learned at level 12, if Elwynn Forest ends up being the only zone open for testing, then reaching level 12 is definitely doable from quest turnins and XP from mob kills. Which will allow 2 Paladins to join as a group and coordinate each of them putting up rank 1 and rank 2 of Judgement of the Crusader accordingly. If this proves to be correct, then it would forever change the LOLRET Meta with the simple fact that the more Retribution Paladins you have in a group/raid, the more powerful each of them then become and would also allow other class/specs come to the forefront as well namely Discipline Priests spamming Smite. At any rate, the twitch interview link is above - we had some audio technical issues at the start so if you fast forward to the 5:00 mark - you can hear the full interview. PS as a bonus, later on in the interview the Crazy OOMkin named Keftenk makes a special guest appearance :) https://twitter.com/count2classicTheloras111 Nov 15

Making "new" guides seems kinda out of place. Not only is there still alot of information from back then available, there came alot of information up for minmaxing available for both leveling and raiding, ontop of various bis gear lists that cover patch progression aswell if necessary. Wether people like or dislike pservers does not make the various information found on their forums less valuable.
Nov 15 I Don't Have Time To Reach Rank 11-14 I Don't Have Time To Reach Rank 11-14 and this is perfectly ACCEPTABLE! I actually like the fact that rank 11-14 is extremely hard to get and time consuming. I don't care if it's not about skill, it is very RPG feeling in the fact that, the people who put in the most time and effort spilling the most enemy blood are the ones who get the best rewards. as somebody who will NEVER have a chance of getting those ranks and items because; 1. I do not have time to do it 2. even if I did have time I still wouldn't do it because I mentally could not farm BG's that many hours for 3 months I support the PvP system and think it is great, and acquiring the hugely powerful items is a big reward and a status symbol. in Classic WoW the game is less about YOU and more about your guild. even if you are not the person to get rank 14, or a Legendary item it still feels awesome when your guild mates get them because it will make your guild stronger. LOVE IT!Agonyy107 Nov 15
I think that the token is a nice solution for the problem. Back in the days, blizzard tryed to ban gold sellers, but it was a lost cause. Instead, the token seems to have resolved the problem, letting workers that want to raid with consumables and stuffs to have the golds to do it. Personally, I don't find the gold buying really fair, but I understand that for many people is a necessity and I prefer to leave the economy and the farming spots to the player instead to the gold sellers.
World of Warcraft: Classic might be just around the corner, so it’s about time to start preparing. We’ve already published a class selection guide, and today we’re focusing on the most important resource of the game, of course, it is gold. Many players who played World of Warcraft back in the day might remember the times when you needed to count every spent penny and the times when gold farmers roamed the Azeroth on their super expensive epic mounts. In vanilla WoW, gold was everything. And we’re here to help you save as much of it as possible. So, without further due, let’s dive in our World of Warcraft: Classic gold making guide.
The Horde 12-20 (Barrens + Stonetalon Mountains) guide has been rewritten and revamped. In addition, there has been numerous tweaks to the speedrun route to make things faster and easier to follow. Also, in case you haven't noticed I am now adding about 40% more info per step and redoing all the images. Unlike with my previous vanilla guides, I am now giving a brief explanation of where to go and what to do with each step along with any other helpful tips.
Greetings! Development of World of Warcraft Classic is underway, and we’re very excited to share some of the challenges and solutions we’re working on. As we mentioned last BlizzCon, the process of restoring the classic game is not straightforward, and it’s important to us to take the time and effort to get it right—this includes poring over numerous game versions, data, and code; meticulously scrutinizing all the changes we’ve made over the years. Rest assured: The WoW Classic team is hard at work making it a reality, and we’re at a point in development where we’re ready to share some of the things we’ve been working on.
Nov 15 Managing your time and Classic So how are you guys thinking you're going to do it? I know when I played Vannila, I sunk so much time into it as I didn't have any responsibilites. Nowadays I work 24 on, 48 off (which is actually good, except for raid days) and have a wife. I figure a lot of you will be in the same boat. That may be a good thing as it can slow the pace a bit.Crupzz4 Nov 15

UK Islamic Academy Adults English Iqbal Ahmad Azami An indispensible handbook presented in a ths explanatory style, clear layout with a rich set of glossary, that gives detailed explanation of the creed held by the Ahl-as-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, and goes on to provide a step-by-step guide to Purification, Prayer, Poor-dues, Fasting, Hajj etc. That took place at the beginning of Islam when the skies became closely guarded and Jinns were blocked from gaining information from the heavens which had itself become full of powerful guardians.
Even if it is decreed iibn such a person will be forgiven due to his good intention and striving, the act itself is still unacceptable to Allaah [An example may be seen in the mistaken belief held by some that a man’s head must be covered while he is in formal prayer – Salaah – as is the case among Jews or that a woman’s hair to be covered while reading the Qur’aan.

As free agents, they can choose between good and evil, but a disposition towards evil preponderates in their character. Consequently, curing a possessed person and the removal of the Jinn may require that the afflicted individual be beaten many times.

Blot out sins, grant us forgiveness, and have mercy on us. The Jinns will scream and yell, and inform those present about many things.

Since the jinn are created from fire, Ibn Taymiyah here surmises that it is because of this quality of heat retention that the Jinn favour the colour black.

And whoever goes easy on one in a state of difficulty, Allah will go easy on him in both this life and the next. And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And when he had come out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3.
However, a minority of scholars have suggested that some laws specifically concerned Arabs, but they were over-ruled by the majority. Iblees was threatened with Hellfire, yet, he did not recant.

Okay, this headline may be somewhat misleading … but give us a few paragraphs to support our claim by offering a historical (or is it hysterical) perspective on this unprecedented contribution to Mother Earth.
We base our numbers not on actually dollars (who uses real money nowadays in contributing to saving the planet). The numbers are based on your basic “common core” math principles being taught at public schools near you (which opens the door for a future column).
First, a little historical perspective is required. Back in 2006, Sir Richard Branson pledged $3 billion over the next 10 years to the global warming community … not in real dollars, but rather in money being spent to “find cleaner fuel” for his five airlines and one train company. In other words, his contribution was based on him giving his money to himself to fuel his companies with “green” energy, thus reducing his carbon footprint and making him the next messiah in the environment movement. (Article printed in The New York Times, Sept. 21, 2006 and follow-up in the Blue&Green Tomorrow blog.)
But of his $3 billion pledge, he could only manage to deliver about $300 million to himself … and that was in using corn ethanol which has since been “widely discredited as a greened alternative to fossil fuels because of its climate change impacts and for driving up the cost of food.”
So at SnoWest, we pledged to pay ourselves $2.3 billion over that same period in our efforts to fight global warming. Now let’s do the math—$2.3 billion is $2 billion more than Richard Branson’s actual $300 million that he paid to himself. (We noticed he lost the “sir” title in the follow-up article … apparently he dropped in credibility with the environmental royalty.) Obviously, we don’t have that kind of money laying around so we’re going to have to owe it to ourselves … unless we get some of that government grant money we mentioned in last week’s blog.
Anyway, after doing the math, it’s apparent that the efforts at SnoWest are much more effective in solving the world’s problems that those of Branson, since we pledge not to use corn ethanol … which really isn’t friendly to the environment unless you don’t factor in people starving.
So the editors of SnoWest will sleep well at night knowing that we’ve done our part in making the earth greener … although there’s also been no word on whether we’re going to receive a “knighthood” for our efforts.


Phillies legend (and Ultimate Athlete) Mike Schmidt doesn’t have a single street name in the city that bears his name. But Carson Wentz shares a name with two.
Our City of Neighborhoods is forever geeking out over the origin of neighborhood names, the latest real estate trends and what Philly neighborhoods would be called if we named them today. Philly Mag has highlighted some of the city’s weirdest street names. So we went one step further and tried to correlate them with current and popular Philly athletes.
We present to you this map of Philly Athlete Street Names:
[googledocs url=”https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1SbZWZ5NL4Nnbj4vvp_QBFc-0Gnk” height=200 width=95]
Here are some of the highlights:
- Carson Wentz was meant to land in Philly. There’s Wentz Street in Olney and Carson Street in Manayunk. But having a street featuring your name isn’t necessarily good luck. There’s a Bradford Street, as in Sam Bradford, in the Northeast.
- Shady Lane. Enough said. This is the coolest street name that is named after a Philly athlete, albeit a former one.
- The legendary Wilt Chamberlain has Wilt Street in Kensington. His stardom was clearly meant to be.
- The athlete streets were dispersed pretty widely throughout the city. No neighborhood had more than two or three athlete street names. The River Wards are probably the leader, with two athlete streets in Kensington, one in Fishtown and one in Port Richmond.

Shorty George is a teeny-tiny bug with a gift for swing dance. Big Bea is a giant bumblebee, twice Shorty George’s size but just as good a dancer. When they meet on the dance floor in 1920s Harlem, it’s a match made in swing-dance heaven.
Margot Toppen’s children’s book (with vivid illustrations by Karen Light that nearly jump off the page) is based on the true story of unlikely swing dance couple Shorty George and Big Bea. It’s a fun read with a sweet message—whatever your size, it shouldn’t stop you from dancing—and great details about the New York City swing dance scene in the ’20s and ’30s. Jitterbugs! comes with bonus materials, too: Vintage music and video clips, activity sheets and even common core lesson plans are available for download on jitterbugsbook.com.
