Now that most of the election results are in, we can ask the next important question: were the congressional elections good for manufacturers?
The NAM’s political action committee, known as NAM-PAC, has an unequivocal answer: absolutely. In fact, nearly all of NAM-PAC’s bipartisan picks for Congress are returning to Washington.
The results: 48 of the 49 NAM-PAC-supported members of the U.S. House of Representatives have been reelected so far, with successful candidates on both sides of the aisle. Meanwhile, 13 of the 15 NAM-PAC-endorsed Senate candidates won or are currently leading their challengers.
With some races still being tallied, the number of NAM-PAC success stories may grow—but the results already testify to the NAM’s influence and America’s desire to support manufacturers.
The criteria: How do we know a candidate is good for manufacturing? NAM-PAC looks at a variety of factors, including:
- The candidate’s history of supporting policies that are important to manufacturing;
- The manufacturing footprint in the candidate’s state or district;
- The candidate’s history of engaging and working with the NAM and member companies; and
- The committees the candidate serves on and his or her leadership roles.
The growing clout: NAM-PAC has seen extraordinary growth over the past few years. During the 2019–2020 election cycle, NAM-PAC contributed nearly $300,000 to the campaigns of manufacturing champions on Capitol Hill, which is almost a tenfold increase from the previous election cycle in 2017–2018.
The last word: “In looking at the results of House and Senate elections, it’s clear that candidates who focused on manufacturing priorities won the night on Tuesday,” said NAM Vice President of Government Relations Jordan Stoick. “That’s a good thing for getting good pro-manufacturing legislation accomplished whether it’s infrastructure investment, defending pro-growth tax policy or passing immigration reform.”

Joint aches were one of the first symptoms I started to notice alongside the more common hot flushes and night sweats, but initially I didn't associate these aches and pains with the menopause.
After experiencing months of aching joints, I was actually quite relieved to find out there was another reason I often felt like a creaking gate...I mean, I was only in my 40s surely this wasn't meant to happen until at least your 60s!
I wonder how many of you after a long car journey find yourselves having to literally unfold yourselves out of your car, and then look like a complete plonker doing stretches and bends just to get going again. Even just sitting at a desk working away on your computer can make you seize up...familiar? One of the worst things for me was finishing a bike ride. I can't profess to being either speedy, or to even go for terribly long cycles, but I do regularly try and fit in a tootle around the country lanes. After every cycle though I would get off my bike and be literally bent at a 45 degree angle (yes it is a road bike!), it would then take me a good 5 or 10 minutes to unfurl!
Joint aches aren’t often associated with the menopause. Most women being of a certain age they assume that it's just part of the ageing process, which it is to a certain extent, with age the cartilage at the end of your bones will naturally start to get worn and lack of oestrogen affects the ligaments around the joints. Joints can become stiff, swollen, inflamed, tender and ever get that creaking, crackling noise when moving certain joints?! All these symptoms are associated with osteoarthritis and are very common, affecting each individual to differing degrees, but lack of oestrogen contributes to these aches and pains as well.
Oestrogen plays an important role in maintaining joint and bone health although no one is certain how it does this, but it is thought to minimise the swelling around the joint. It is also important for regulating fluid levels in your body so with falling hormone levels you may find your body unable to retain water as efficiently.
It's very important to keep hydrated, with dehydration contributing to joint pain — the build up of uric acid can contribute to inflammation.
Common joints to be affected are said to be the wrists, neck, shoulders and hips. From talking to many women it can basically be anywhere though and always affects everyone in different ways and to differing degrees.
Fear not there are things you can do ...
Ok let's start off with lifestyle, diet and exercise which you can all manage yourselves
•Non weight bearing exercises – cycling and swimming
•Weight bearing exericses low impact and high impact – walking, dancing, tennis , running, netball.
•Resistance, non-impact exercises like pilates and yoga – helps with core strength, giving better stability which helps reduce risk of falls in later life.
Pilates and yoga also reduce stress levels – when stressed your body can release high quantities of the hormone cortisol which works as an inflammatory agent that in turn makes joint aches more painful. Much better to get those endorphins released.
•Weightloss - essential - obesity is one of the biggest contributory factors when it comes to joint pains.
•Take time to relax and breath!
• Always helps if you can get a regular massage but realise this is a luxury for most of us, but give yourself the odd treat when you can!
•HRT (hormone replacement therapy) – can have remarkable results as you are obviously replacing the oestrogen which is lacking.
• If you don't want to go down the hormonal route you can be prescribed an anti inflammatory – but these tend to only treat immediate relief of the pain, don't address the cause of the symptom and are not advised to be on longterm.
•*Glucosamine supplement (1500mg daily try for a month), it's derived from shellfish so careful if allergic to shellfish. It occurs naturally and is one of the building blocks of cartilage ( made by combination of glucose and amino acid glutamine, by the enzyme glucosamine synthesise ). Some people swear by this supplement, as always if it works for you and there are no side effects then it's a no brainer.
So in summary, keep moving and exercising, eat a healthy balanced diet and give yourself the odd bit of tlc when you can, always good to get some down time and relax.
*Insufficent evidence to support the use of glucosamine in osteoarthritis so therefore not funded by NHS but if it works even on a placebo level then try. NICE looked at Cochrane report in 2005 and update in 2007 which showed glucosamine to be superior to placebo for treatment of pain and functional impairment for symptomatic osteoarthritis. Safe as a placebo.

Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) uses her powers to save Barry (Grant Gustin), but as her mother predicted, the effort unleashes her inner Killer Frost. Killer Frost goes into a rampage looking for Dr. Alchemy, kidnapping Julian (Tom Felton) and battling both The Flash and Vibe (Carlos Valdes). Meanwhile, Joe (Jesse L. Martin) and H.R. (Tom Cavanagh) have a heart to heart talk.
There’s no word yet as to whether Grunberg will return for another episode or be promoted to a series regular.

EastEnders star Nina Wadia has confirmed that she would return to the show if bosses were to call her and ask her to come bak.
The actress, who portrayed Zainab Masood, stated that she and her co-stars had the ‘time of our lives’ on the BBC One soap.
Discussing the possibility of reprising her iconic role, the Strictly Come Dancing star said that an Albert Square comeback is ‘always on the cards’.
‘There is always a chance of a comeback,’ Nina told The Sun. ‘If Enders rang us and said come back, we’d gladly go.
‘We had the time of our lives doing that show.’
Nina, 53, made her EastEnders debut back in 2007, with Zainab swiftly becoming a fan favourite character.
During her time on the show, she featured in a number of huge storylines, including running Walford’s post office, and struggling to come to terms with the fact that son Syed (Marc Elliot) is gay.
Nina departed Walford in 2013, with her final scenes airing in February of that very year, but Zainab has been mentioned and referred to on several occasions since.
Nina, meanwhile, took part in the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Partnered with professional dance partner Neil Jones, she stunned audiences with her Samba in Week 1.
She then followed this up with a Tango in Week 2, but ultimately became the first celebrity eliminated from the show, after ending up in a dance-off with fellow soap star Katie McGlynn.

The next day is a trip to Antique Row – over 40 stores of Antique, Vintage and Modern home furnishings — I could stay for days and often purchase wonderful things to take back north for clients. A true treasure trove. Speaking of treasure troves -Be sure to visit D. Brett Benson for beautiful vintage jewelry – Kevin and Brett are so knowledgeable and charming – If you don’t get the chance to get down to their charming shop you can visit them at the upcoming Pier Show in NY.
I’m always on the go and love visiting Palm Beach a few times a year. I love everything about it – Sun, Glamour, fabulous Architecture, of course beautiful turquoise water and Palm Trees!
This year Eau Palm Beach Hotel opened with a redo by Jonathan Adler – who perfectly captured that sense of whimsy and glamour. The re-imagined interiors have that very chic but playful feeling he does so effortlessly.
The spa was my favorite –
everyone is so gracious and it is both a calming and jaw dropping experience!
My first day there I spend it on Worth Avenue – looking at eye popping jewels is such a fun way to spend the afternoon add lunch at Taboo – the iconic Palm Beach Restaurant – and the day is complete!
One can’t help but get sucked into the Lilly Pulizter Palm Beach “look” I have learned long ago that although I adore the look when I am there – when I get a piece home I realize that it will sadly hang in my closet. But the clothes are fun and fanciful for that brief moment! And I do mean brief!
Other Favorite restaurants include Bice and Palm Beach Grill – which has the best cosmos!
If you have never been down to Palm Beach other sites worth visiting The Breakers Hotel, Flagler Museum and Viscaya.
Back in NY I am looking out a truly dark, dreary winter day – dreaming of my next visit to Palm ….

THE NEURONAL BASIS FOR DECISION-MAKING - WHAT LEADS TO IRRATIONALITY?
Updated: Dec 6, 2022
We are studying rational choice… IN WORMS! Rationality for economists means making optimal decisions. One of the basic axioms of economic rationality is “Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives” (IIA), according to which a preference ratio between two options should be unaffected by introducing additional alternatives to the choice set. To investigate the biological mechanism for (in) consistent behavior we designed simple decision-making tasks that test IIA violations in C. elegans (See our Nature Communications paper:“Bounded rationality in C.elegans”).
By involving in the choice process defined neuronal networks (this is impossible or close to impossible in other organisms!) we tested whether particular neuronal architectures are prone to producing irrational choices. We also genetically manipulated the circuits to make the worm rational or irrational. By probing multiple neuronal architectures using various choice sets, we found that asymmetric sensation of odor options can lead to violations of rationality. We developed a normalization-based mathematical model of value coding and gain control, which explains why only specific network configurations give rise to inconsistent decision making. These studies generated for the first time a law that explains when irrationality occurs, based on mechanistic understanding of the neurons that execute the decisions. We suggest this law as a general example for how neuronal constrains give rise to bounded rationality.

Who would win a fight between UFC women's champion Ronda Rousey and undefeated boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr.? It was a close contest in a reader survey we did recently, but UFC commentator Joe Rogan says Rousey would win.
“It’s all about how much time Floyd has to prepare, because he will really have to work on his takedown defense. That would be the big thing,” Rogan said on ESPN2′s “SportsNation.” “If Ronda got a clinch on him, it’s not just about worrying about being taken down to the ground, it’s worrying about knees to the body. It is worrying about her manipulating his body in ways that he doesn’t understand.”
Mayweather would need at least six months of training to be able to have a chance with Rousey, according to Rogan.
“It’s too hard to avoid the clinch. If you watch a Floyd Mayweather fight, they very rarely end in a one-punch knockout. He has brittle hands. His hands break. You are talking about small gloves where hands are going to break even easier. She keeps her chin tucked, hands high and gets a hold of you. There is going to be a lot of things she is doing that he doesn’t understand.”

Ryane Clowe suspended pending a hearing on Monday
Ryane Clowe is facing a disciplinary hearing for his actions late in Friday's game.
Clowe has been offered an in-person hearing on Monday to discuss the incident, and he could be facing a 10-game suspension. The fact the NHL offered a hearing in person means the league can suspend him for more than five games.
With under a minute to play in the game, Shaw was penalized for boarding Joe Pavelski in front of the San Jose bench. Clowe then came off the bench during the ensuing stoppage and became involved in a skirmish with Shaw. The linesman stopped it before it could turn into a fight.
Clowe was given a two-minute minor for roughing and a game-misconduct. If the league determines Clowe acted illegally and came off the bench for the purpose of starting a fight, he's going to be sitting out for quite a while.
According to NHL rule 70.1, "No player or goalkeeper may leave the players’ or penalty bench at any time during an altercation or for the purpose of starting an altercation. Substitutions made prior to the altercation shall be permitted provided the players so substituting do not enter the altercation."
The incident can be seen in the video posted above via CSN Chicago.
It's not the first time Clowe has created some trouble for himself when it comes to plays involving the bench. He avoided suppplementary discipline last season for playing a puck from the bench to break up a Los Angeles Kings rush.

I live in California and the winter has been a lot warmer than expected. I would like to decrease the water temperature in my home to try to save money and conserve energy. How do I do this?
There should (might actually) be a thermostat control on the water heater unit. Typically, in the US at least and on the units of which I've experienced, it's a big, round, red knob which will give you suggestions like "HOT", etc. Today's more efficient units may even have an "Energy Efficient" specific setting.
Adjust it to your liking.
Note that this may not be a feature on all models, particularly an electric heater; I know mine doesn't.
Most (virtually all) electric models have a non-obvious and inconvenient (but you don't usually need to adjust it that often) thermostat associated with each element. Since you need to expose the element electrical connections to see and adjust it, turn the power off first.
Repeat - turn off the power to the water heater before looking for or adjusting the element thermostats.
This is under the access covers that hide the connection to each element. As noted in the answer @Bmitch linked to, you should likely keep it set at 125F or above (not as shown here.)
You will probably get far more savings (what you really want) from adding insulation to the hot water pipes and posibly to the hot water heater itself (older ones are more poorly insulated than most newer ones,so they benefit more from additional insulation.) Uninsulated hot water pipes (and the cold water pipe feeding the hot water heater) waste considerably more energy than a few degrees on the hot water heater (since you will normally adjust the water temperature to suit, using less hot if the hot is hotter.) Lower temperatures will slightly reduce standby losses, but standby losses on a tolerably well insulated water heater are quite small, normally.

The Greensboro Four – 60 Years Ago
The Civil Rights Movement of my memory began in the 1950s and as an ignorant and complacent white teenager from Ohio, it took me some time to figure out what was happening. I don’t know how many events or which particular one jolted me out of my stupor but one that I remember took place at a Five and Dime lunch counter in Greensboro, NC, sixty years ago February 1, 1960.
Many larger communities of that time had an F.W. Woolworth variety store and most of those had lunch counters. While blacks were permitted to shop for everyday goods they were not welcomed at the segregated lunch counters.
America’s Greatest Irony
America’s founding document is not the Articles of Confederation, it is not the US Constitution, and it not the Gettysburg Address or any of those other documents and speeches you heard about in 6th grade. Our founding document is quite simply, the Declaration of Independence. The brilliant and concise paper that Thomas Jefferson authored in June of 1776.
Famously signed into an agreement on July 4, 1776, it declared that “People have certain Inalienable Rights including Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness. All Men are created equal. Individuals have a civic duty to defend these rights for themselves and others.”
Donald the Dunce’s World (Sponsored by Sharpie)
One of the great things about the Internet is how quickly the satirists rally when someone screws up. Nobody has made themself a bigger target than Donald J. Trump. This latest Sharpie Gate thing could have been totally avoided if only he had some degree of being able to cop to an error and correcting it.
Just for the hell of it, I took a couple of minutes this morning to collect a bunch of memes based on Trump’s using a Sharpie to alter a weather map to try and cover his ass rather than just letting a simple human error roll off his shoulders.
This is what arrogance and a yuge ego will get you!
Autographed Bibles & Paper Towels
So, when the lives of tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans were damn near destroyed the Donald stopped by and decided that what these desperate people needed was an insensitive old white billionaire having fun tossing out free rolls of paper towels to people who were actually aid workers and not the victims of the hurricane.
So, when a series of 170 mph EF-4 tornadoes smashed through Lee County, Alabama killing 23 people Mr. Compassion ascends from above in full Christ-like operational mode, He decides that what’s needed is his signing copies of the Holy Bible for distribution. I’m surprised there isn’t video footage of his signing Bibles and then tossing them to the crowd with a Jerry West like fall back jump shot.
Many people on the street are, however, saying that Trump signed them using the moniker, J.C. Trump. Now, I don’t know anything about but lots of people are saying it. Yes, many people are talking about it and saying it. There could be something to it, they’re talking.
DURING THE SOTU female House members applauded as Trump claimed women now held 58% of newly created jobs. Do you think they were applauding him or engaging in an “in your face” activity?
A Punchable Love Child!
The following photo was posted on Facebook by what I assume was a satire group. The claim was made that Ted Cruz spoke with the MAGA teenager about learning to live with “punchable face” syndrome. I’m not going to look it up but I’ll assume there is no such thing in the journals of medicine and it’s a joke. But, take a close look at the side by side photos and tell me you don’t see at least these two things:
- They both have faces that with a couple of Miller High Lifes in you, you’d be tempted to punch.
- MAGA boy could be Ted Cruz’ love child. There is obviously a shared DNA.
Sarah’s & Raj are Looking for Some Jobs
Rick Wilson’s book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, may be coming true for Sarah Sanders and Raj Shah, two of the people whose job it is to cover up Trump’s lies and lunacy. There are recent stories in the news feeds that both are looking for new jobs but are having difficulting finding them. They are damaged goods, tainted by selling their souls in service to one of our most corrupt and dishonest WH occupants.
According to RawStory, Sanders has changed from daily press briefings to monthly press briefings and Shah has removed the words, White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary, from his social media accounts. Apparently, both have finally concluded that they are not needed in Trump World, a world in which Trump is his own head of press relations and public communications.
Earlier in December Sanders spoke about her legacy. She said she wished it to be one of being transparent and honest. Well, we all know that ship sailed long ago and it ain’t coming back.

Today mark’s the official opening of the 2018 hurricane season and the American territory of Puerto Rico, and its millions of American citizens, is ill prepared for the arrival the hurricane that will most surely pay them a visit this summer. The island is far from recovering last year’s category four hurricane Maria. So little attention is given that it’s easy to assume the administration, FEMA, and Trump have forgotten it exists.
And, according to Media Matters, we can add cable news channels to the list of those whose eyes have turned elsewhere.
“On Tuesday, two things happened: A New England Journal of Medicine article by Harvard researchers argued that the death toll from Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was most likely thousands higher than the official number of 64; and Roseanne Barr, the sitcom star, was fired for a racist Twitter rant. According to the watchdog group Media Matters, CNN devoted nearly five hours to discussing Roseanne, and just over 12 minutes to discussing Puerto Rico. The other cable news networks, Fox News and MSNBC, were similarly lopsided, with Fox spending just 48 seconds on the Puerto Rico study.”
Could one argue that America has its priorities all messed up?
A Nazi lives in the Bronx
Most likely you’ve never heard of Jakiw Palij and there’s no reason you should have. Palij has lived in America since 1949 and today is the last known Nazi war criminal living in this country. He was once granted US citizenship but in 2004 a federal judge stripped him of that and ordered he be deported. He is still here and ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has no plans to boot him out because no nation wants him.
Another name you’ve probably not heard is Miguel Perez Jr. , Perez was in America on a permanent green card, joined the US Army and did two tours in Afghanistan. When he returned he was diagnosed with PTSD and possible brain damage. He was charged with cocaine possession, had his green card stripped, and sentenced to fifteen years in prison. After serving half his sentence he was turned over to ICE and has since been deported to Mexico leaving behind his parents and children who are all US citizens.
Trae Crowder on Arming Teachers & More
Many of you are familiar with Trae Crowder, The Liberal Redneck. He’s kind of a liberal version of Jeff Foxworthy except that he says “fuck” a lot. I find him funny and often dead on in his social and political rants. Here’s Trae’s most recent take on what happened in Florida and some of the solutions offered.
Recent Random Ramblings
- Trump is the first occupant of the White House who has been given carte blanche to make shit up while providing zero evidence.
- It’s been said that Trump Tweets while sitting on the toilet each morning. I’m thinking his most angry, ridiculous, and outrageous Tweets come from those times when he is the most constipated.
- If Obama did tap Trump’s phones it suggest a federal judge saw sufficient evidence of wrongdoing to justify a warrant.
- In one February Ohio week we had the highest temperature ever recorded, followed by plummeting temperatures and spitting snow, and finishing up with a tornado that left a 7-mile track through Highland County.
- Old Chinese proverb, “Be wary of autocratic rulers with goofy fucking haircuts.”
More Random Thoughts
Being a political junkie and having Trump in the White House makes it almost impossible to have a random thought that is not political. Consider this a warning.
- I just spent four hours shredding documents in what is supposed to be a paperless society.
- I’m becoming paranoid about Trump being paranoid.
- Since January 20, 2017 I’ve had a solid reason to get out of bed and turn on the TV. Unfortunately I’m getting to be a historical eyewitness to the Trump directed meltdown of America.
- The older you get the less you are aware of popular culture. Driving past a multiplex I didn’t recognize a single movie title on their bill board.
- I’ve often wondered what should be the measure of having too much money. Possibly it’s being able to afford to rent a rocket to take you beyond the moon and back.
- All presidents should stop using war widows and victims of violence as political props in their speeches.
- Politicians need to immediately stop putting party before people. They should begin and end any legislative thought by asking if the consequences honestly serve the betterment of the general population.

Boston MA 02109-3912
Subject: Chang Farms draft NPDES Permit, Whately MA
Permit Number: MA0040207, Public notice MA-025-13
Dear Ms. Little,
I am submitting comments on the draft National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for Chang Farms in Whately on behalf the Connecticut River Watershed Council (CRC). The discharge point into the Connecticut River is just downstream of the Sunderland Bridge, which has a boat launch and fishing access point maintained by the Town of Sunderland. The section of the Connecticut River in the area of the discharge is a popular area for canoeing, kayaking, and motor boating when river depths allow. Swimming takes place off private land along the river in the vicinity of the discharge. This section of the river is also probably the most commonly photographed stretch of river – Mount Sugarloaf State Reservation located in Deerfield on the north side of the Sunderland Bridge affords one of the most spectacular views of the Connecticut River and its valley.
The Connecticut River upstream of the Holyoke Dam is listed as an impaired water body due to priority organics and pathogens. We are particularly interested in improving water quality in the Connecticut River such that it can one day meet Class B water quality standards and be safe for swimming. Our comments are below.
- We note that the facility has expanded its water withdrawals and is requesting an increase in discharge flow. CRC visited the site during the Masachusetts Environmental Policy Act (MEPA) review process in 2005, and commented then and again during 2011 when it went through MEPA for expanded water withdrawals. CRC submitted comments to Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) on the Water Management Act permit in 2011, and to EPA on the 2006 NPDES permit. In 2005 and 2006, future expansion plans were openly discussed.
- CRC supports the addition of a maximum daily flow rate, so that the water flowing through the facility does not overtax the capacity of the ultraviolet treatment process. We note that there have been high levels of E. coli bacteria in detected in October 2010, April 2012, and May 2012. We aren’t sure what led to these high levels and whether the expansion poses a problem for keeping those levels low.
- CRC supports the addition of a temperature limit in the draft permit.
- The existing and draft permit requires weekly testing of total residual chlorine (TRC). The Fact Sheet on page 15 states that the most recent TRC testing was completed in March 2011. A search on the EPA ECHO database for Chang Farms yields zero TRC data for outfall 001. Has TRC not been monitored weekly as the 2006 requires? If not, why? As noted in the Fact Sheet, chlorine and chlorine compounds can be extremely toxic to aquatic life, and chlorine is added to groundwater from the well fields to wash and soak the beans. It is important to have a sense of the chlorine amounts in the effluent, particularly because the facility is looking to expand its discharge more than four-fold.
- CRC supports the increased measuring frequency of total suspended solids (TSS) and BOD5. Based on our understanding of the bean sprout production process at the facility and description and list of chemicals in the Fact Sheet, it is unclear why the facility has had such frequent violations of their TSS and BOD limits over the past 5 years. Though we are glad the concentration limits from the 2006 permit are being maintained, we are disappointed that the loading values will be allowed to increase to such a degree, particularly when this expansion was anticipated back in 2005.
- CRC supports the increased frequency of nutrient monitoring and capping the loading of total nitrogen to 12.4 lbs/day.
- Footnote 3 on page 4 of the permit should probably say “aliquots” rather than “aloquits.”
- With regard to the federally endangered shortnose sturgeon (SNS), Holyoke Gas & Electric was required by NOAA for several years to conduct radio tracking studies of 20 tagged SNS upstream of the dam each year, to record their movements and see if any moved downstream and approached the Holyoke dam. This document is available in full on the FERC e-library (docket P-2004), but relevant excerpts are attached here. Of the tagged SNS individuals, two of them were recorded in the vicinity of Chang Farms. We disagree with EPA that SNS are unlikely to be in the area and we believe consultation with the National Marine Fisheries Service is warranted.
- According to Attachment 3 to the Fact Sheet, the Discharge Monitoring Data, this facility has a record of at least one permit violation in every month between 2009 and the beginning of 2013, except for possibly two months. That is quite a poor record. We hope that EPA and MassDEP enforce the permit limits on the new permit.
Thank you for an opportunity to comment on this draft permit for Chang Farms.

Delhi DoE suspends DPS Rohini over fee-hike norms
The Directorate of Education (DoE) Delhi has suspended the recognition of Delhi Public School, Sector-24, Rohini for non-compliance with fee hike rules. The school however will be allowed to complete the session 2022-23 with recognition and the suspension of recognition will not affect the students studying in the current session 2022-23. DPS Sector 24 Rohini, Delhi has been asked not to take any admission for the 2023-24 session.
“The school authorities seem to be indulging in profiteering, commercialisation, capitation and exploitation of parents by charging unwarranted fees, and violated Rule 50 (xvii) and 50 (xix) of the Delhi School Education Rules, 1973 by not providing relevant documents and records to the inspection team who visited the school premises on November 7, 2022,” a DoE statement issued on Tuesday said.
After the completion of the session, the DoE suspension order said that all students of the school will be shifted to the nearby recognised schools run by DPS Society or to nearby Delhi government schools with the parents' consent if the suspension is not revoked. Over -charged fees already paid will have to be refunded to all the students immediately.
All the staff of the school including teaching, non-teaching and other will be adjusted by the DPS Society in its other recognised schools within the jurisdiction of the NCT of Delhi.

Chips Hardy’s play Blue on Blue directed by Harry Burton is set to arrive at the Tristan Bates Theatre from the 19th April to the 14th May it has been announced.
This witty and but moving drama examines the subtleties of self-harm and co-dependency. The play confronts important questions that are too often overlooked – not least the rehabilitation of ex-servicemen and ex-offenders.
Badly wounded in action by friendly fire, army veteran Moss lives in a small flat with his highly- strung nephew Carver. When Marta, a young Eastern European carer, enters their tiny world the results are as disruptive as they are well-intentioned.
Chips Hardy created the play and Harry Burton has directed the production with the help of leading charities BLESMA and Harmless, giving a rare insight into the individual lives behind the headlines as the armed forces continue to engage in conflicts across the globe.
The cast is led by British Army veteran Darren Swift who lost both his legs in combat in Northern Ireland. Alongside him are Daniel Gentely and Ida Bonnast.
It is a powerful, darkly comic and insightful play that is being presented on stage by the London-based company The Skullcap Collective.
Blue on Blue will appear on stage at the Tristan Bates Theatre from the 19th April to the 14th May. For more information and to book tickets visit: http://tristanbatestheatre.co.uk/whats-on/blue-on-blue

This week saw the global launch of the International Consortium on Female Sport “as the preeminent international lobby group to advocate for the preservation of the female sport category worldwide.”
As more and more biologically male athletes are being permitted to compete in female sport at both the domestic and international level, taking places, awards and opportunities from women and girls, such an initiative is more important than ever.
According to the announcement on its website, “ICFS is a nonpartisan, single-issue collective of female sport advocates who hold that fairness and safety for female athletes must be ensured by having a dedicated category for females — competitors who are biologically female and who have not experienced male puberty.”
Members include high-profile female athletes and women’s sport advocacy groups from around the world who have come together to take a strong stand to preserve female sport:
“Fifty percent of the world’s population deserves proper representation when decisions are to be made about their sports category. The creation of the ICFS is absolutely vital to the preservation of women’s sports.” – Dr Linda Blade, co-founder of the consortium and a representative of member group Canadian Women’s Sex-Based Rights (caWsbar)
“While most legal prohibitions against sex discrimination require assimilation and inclusion, sport requires sex segregation for safety and fairness for female athletes — it’s not a new concept.” – ICFS member Nancy Hogshead-Makar, a three-time Olympic champion swimmer, lawyer, and CEO of Champion Women
“All over the world women are fighting to see fairness for females restored in sport. It makes sense to do this together. The ICFS is a group that will make a difference.” – Fiona McAnena, spokesperson of UK-based group, Fair Play for Women (FPFW), a member group of ICFS
Women’s Forum Australia applauds this fantastic initiative and is proud to be an affiliate member.
Everyone should have an opportunity to play sport, but we need to make sure we have a fair playing field. If women and girls are to enjoy the myriad benefits of sporting achievement – health, fitness, camaraderie, personal goal-setting, leadership, character development, career opportunities, sponsorship and more – it is vital we protect the women’s sporting events that previous generations worked so hard to establish.
Women’s Forum Australia is an independent think tank that undertakes research, education and public policy advocacy on issues affecting women and girls, with a particular focus on addressing behaviours and practices that are harmful and abusive to them. We are a non-partisan, non-religious, tax-deductible charity. We do not receive any government funding and rely solely on donations to make an impact. Support our work today.

We got wind of a new horror comedy called Standards Of Living that is the first full featured done exclusively with an iPad. The movie is available to watch free online and the link will be provided in our upcoming review. For now I have the official synopsis and a few images from the film and the trailer so enjoy!
Peter Sayer is an awful stand up comedian who desperately wants to be funny. One night, after Peter bombs on stage, a mysterious man named Mr. Randall offers him a unique opportunity. Mr. Randall reveals that he has the power to make things disappear, and when he makes them reappear they are “improved.” A bent nail becomes straight, a tarnished coin becomes polished, and an empty saltshaker comes back full of salt. But Mr. Randall wants to make a human disappear…to find out where these objects go, and why they come back improved. Peter volunteers to “disappear” with the hope that he will come back funnier…but the bizarre truth about Mr. Randall’s powers is no laughing matter.
Look for a review on this soon!

In this paper, we present a general approach which specifically targets reduction of redundant computation in common d'igital signal processing (DSP) tasks such as filtering and matrix multiplication. The main idea presented in this work is to show that such tasks can be expressed as multiplication of vectors by scalars and fast multiplication can be achieved by sharing computation in such operations. The multiplication schemes considerably reduce redundant computation by decomposing the vectors in a manner which results in maximal computation sharing, thereby, resulting in a faster and potentially low-power implementation. Two decomposition approaches are presented, one based on a greedy decomposition and the other based on fixed-size lookup rule which lead to two multiplication architectures for scaling of vectors. Analysis of the proposed implementations shows a speed-up by a factor of up to 3 over a carry save array multiplier. Analog simulation of an example 8-bit multiplier shows a speed advantage by a factor of 1.85 and a power disadvantage of 1.9 over a conventional carry save array multiplier. Using voltage scaling, the power consumption of the example multiplier can be reduced to 56% of the carry save array multiplier.

Nikhil Advani, World Wildlife Fund, and Cecy Castillo, University of Belize
The EWCL Climate Team (EWCL/CT) began working with WWF to advance the Climate Crowd, a new project established to explore and disseminate the valuable stories of climate change and responses to its impacts among the world’s disparate and often unheard communities. Five project objectives were established for the EWCL/CT: 1) train volunteers in Belize to collect data for Climate Crowd; 2) collect initial data with newly trained volunteers and submit this data via www.wwfclimatecrowd.org; 3) test and make recommendations to refine the survey instrument with volunteers in Belize; 4) provide advice for ongoing data collection through the University of Belize and other groups; and 5) document the training and data collection for training purposes and promotion of Climate Crowd. In this way, the EWCL/CT sought to fill critical knowledge gaps for additional program development, while also contributing to a global dataset on how communities are responding to climate change.
A training workshop for Climate Crowd researchers was held August 11 and 12, 2016 at the University of Belize (UB) in Belmopan, Belize. Hosting the workshop at UB led to a diverse group of participants, including students, faculty, and NGO staff. The first day of the training was a classroom-based workshop where participants were introduced to the Climate Crowd project and the basics of key informant interviewing. The second day of the training was a field day in Hopkins, a coastal village located about an hour from Belmopan.
Several methods were used to plan, implement, and evaluate the Climate Crowd training workshop. EWCL/CT consulted experts in qualitative research, employed several teaching methods in training the attendees, and evaluated the project frequently to refine and improve the model. In general, the workshop was very effective in teaching key informant interviewing related to weather and climate change, and received highly positive reviews from participants.
Data on climate change perceptions, impacts, and adaptations were gathered by participants during the field component of the Climate Crowd training workshop. The village proved to be an interesting location to conduct interviews for two reasons. First, Hopkins is currently undergoing a transition away from fishing towards tourism. Second, the village experienced impacts from Hurricane Earl the week before, making interviews on climate change particularly timely. EWCL/CT developed partnerships in Belize to ensure the participants could collect data in a coastal community, incentivized students to participate, structured the data collection to allow for group discussion afterwards, and utilized a student-led teaching format to give the participants first-hand experience collecting qualitative data. The participants conducted eleven interviews through two one-hour data collection activities. Additionally, one participant conducted an additional interview with the village chairman who also was a farmer, fisherman, and entrepreneur. The 13 interviews conducted by the four participants and one project staff member indicate a wide-range of climate changes, impacts, and responses.
Climate Crowd Training Materials
EWCL/CT produced seven “tools” that a volunteer researcher may use to prepare, conduct, and submit the results of a key informant interview related to climate change perceptions, impacts, and adaptations. These tools are discussed in more detail in the Products section. As previously mentioned, the field day of the training included data collection activities to pilot the toolkit. During this time, two EWCL/CT members kept notes on how the volunteer researchers engaged with the toolkit and asked the researchers about the ease and use of the tools following interviews. Lastly, the data collection and data summary forms were reviewed to consider how the researchers used them.
Various digital materials were produced for the workshop that Climate Crowd could use to conduct future workshops. These materials include:
- A volunteer researcher training guide, entitled How to Stand Out from The Crowd, to provide volunteers with a single document that provides background on Climate Crowd and presented the tools and guidance the volunteer researchers should use when conducting interviews.
- An agenda for the two-day workshop detailing the training objectives, the modules, and exercises as well as the necessary preparation and materials for the training.
- A PowerPoint presentation to guide the first day of the workshop and provide visual aids for the workshop’s introduction, training modules, and exercises. The main topics covered in the presentation were key informant interviewing, tips for beginners, and the training guide.
- A detailed budget for a two-day workshop developed to ensure the appropriate funds and in-kind support were available.
- Evaluation forms based on those used during expert-led social science training workshops and modified to fit the needs of this training. The evaluation forms included a pre- and post-training assessment of the participants’ understanding of climate change and qualitative research, evaluations of the participants’ satisfaction with the workshop and field day, and self-evaluations by the training leaders.
The participants conducted eleven interviews through two one-hour data collection activities. Additionally, one participant conducted an additional interview with the village chairman, who also was a farmer, fisherman, and entrepreneur. These interviews identified various possible climate changes, impacts, and adaptations. Interviewees reported experiencing changes in rainfall, increased occurrence of severe weather events, and changes in seasons. These changes have led to increased erosion, changes in crop yields, higher prices for food, and fewer fish caught. In response, community members have changed fishing and farming practices, moved homes farther from shore, and diversified livelihoods.
Climate Crowd Training Materials
This activity produced seven “tools” that a volunteer researcher may use to prepare, conduct, and submit the results of a key informant interview related to climate change perceptions, impacts, and adaptations. These tools are available in the training guide and are described as follows:
- Central research questions based on Climate Crowd’s conceptual framework and the initial WWF data collection form;
- Guidance on how to conduct key informant interviews related to climate change, including the PEACE approach to cognitive interviewing (Prepare, Engage, Account, Close, and Evaluate), a variety of common interview tips and techniques, examples of who might qualify as a key informant, and examples of what might qualify for good photos and video;
- A sample introductory statement based on the core elements required by university institutional review boards in the United States for obtaining informed consent;
- A photo and consent form adapted from a form used by the World Health Organization;
- A topic and introductory question guide adapted from developed from the topics in the initial WWF data collection form and updated with sample main questions devised by Mark Gibson;
- A data collection form adapted from the initial WWF data collection form and updated to consider impacts to the marine environment; and
- A data summary form consisting of three summary questions devised by Mark Gibson for identifying useful climate change stories.

We all know for a fact that Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy made some pretty questionable decisions that divided the entire fandom and nearly three years after the Skywalker saga ended, the said atrocities have been a subject of debate amongst hardcore fans of the franchise. Most fans are also aware that things weren't always smooth-sailing for director J.J. Abrams and apparently, there were more creative issues between him and Lucasfilm that are only being exposed now.
In a series of now-deleted tweets, Lucasfilm executive Pablo Hidalgo (via ComicBook) revealed that Abrams and the production company had a major disagreement over an important plot point from The Force Awakens that the director insisted on doing. Hidalgo claims that Abrams' Bad Robot wanted the Starkiller base to blow up Coruscant, the capital city of The Republic and one of the most iconic locations in Star Wars lore.
Unsurprisingly, Lucasfilm was against the idea and shut it down. Hidalgo tweeted: "Basically BR [J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot] wanted it blown up; LFL [Lucasfilm Ltd.] didn't. Hosnian Prime was the unsatisfying middle ground. It happens."
Also Read: Star Wars Announces The Force Awakens Prequel
Blowing up Coruscant would have been a jaw-dropping moment for sure and I totally understand where Lucasfilm is coming from because there would be no turning back if something like that actually happened. On the other hand, I can't help but think how Coruscant's demise would've affected the course of the sequel trilogy. I'm pretty sure fans would've been divided nonetheless but it undoubtedly creates an interesting scenario.
The entire sequel trilogy is available for streaming on Disney+.

Perhaps the most glaring example of deliberate financial fraud by an informed elite group can be found in the example of Abacus, created by Goldman Sachs employee Fabrice Tourre and the hedge fund Paulson & Co. in 2007 default.[i] Abacus consisted of synthetic collateralized debt obligations selected and packaged by Tourre and Paulson that Goldman sold to its clients, while assuring them that the underlying mortgages were unlikely to default. Meanwhile, Paulson & Co shorted or bet against Abacus by purchasing credit default swaps from the Royal Bank of Scotland, which incurred a $840 million liability from backstopping the hedge funds deal.[ii] Goldman told clients like did not tell its clients it was betting against the same CDO package it was selling them. ACA Financial Guarantee Corp filed suit against Goldman in 2011 for deliberately misleading the company about the Paulson’s investment in Abacus. Goldman allegedly told ACA that Paulson & Co (one of Goldman's clients) "was betting on a deal, when in fact Paulson was betting against it."[iii] Goldman claims it didn’t mislead ACA and other investors, despite incriminating evidence that surfaced in the form of Fabrice Tourre’s emails to his girlfriend. In these emails, Tourre referred to himself "fabulous Fab" and described creating "Frankenstein" products that were nothing more than "pure intellectual masturbation" sold to naive widows and orphans.[iv]
Despite blatant evidence of intent to deceive, the SEC failed to seek criminal charges against Goldman.[v] Instead, Goldman settled a civil fraud suit by paying $550 million. Journalist gadfly and would-be reformer Matt Taibbi recently penned an indignant letter about government’s failure to right the wrongs of Wall Street’s many transgressions, titled, “The federal rescue of Wall Street didn’t fix the economy – it created a permanent bailout state based on a Ponzi-like confidence scheme. And the worst may be yet to come.”[vi]
Taibbi expresses outrage shared by many Americans over the consolidation of wealth that has resulted from the financial crisis. Emerging in the aftermath of the global financial crisis that began in late 2007 is a world order dominated by a few governments and corporations that have unprecedented control over global resources. Government prioritization of corporate interests over public welfare during the financial crisis was reflected in the lopsided allocation of funds to banks, including the bailout of investment banks that should not have been eligible for relief, and the unlimited backstopping of AIG’s credit default swaps while average Americans, who saw work hours and income collapse, received little-to-no support. During the height of the great financial crisis, secret Federal Reserve loans to the biggest banks totaling $7.7 trillion enabled them to reap $13 billion in profits.[vii] U.S homeowners, who faced around $6.5 million in delinquent and foreclosed mortgages, saw little to no relief.”[viii]
In 2009, Graham Bowley reported in The New York Times that the federal financial “bailout helps fuel a new era of Wall Street wealth” enabling “hefty bonuses” to corporate Wall Street executives.[ix] Goldman Sachs alone received $70 billion in combined funds from TARP, the Federal Reserve, AIG, and the FDIC.[x] As of 2010, six U.S. banks, held assets in excess of 63 percent of the U.S. Gross Domestic.[xi] Perhaps most telling, the US government largely declined to prosecute those financial agents responsible for the crisis within these monopolists, many of which profited from rampant foreclosure fraud in the wake of the crisis. Reflecting on these data, Economist Simon Johnson observed: "The US increasingly displays characteristics that we have seen many times in middle-income “emerging markets” – new dimensions of vast inequality, forms of financial instability that benefit the best connected, and consistently easy credit for the privileged."[xii]

"Great world building and storytelling"
In 1659 Paris, Sir Jack Marstone rescues the muddied
filthy Catherine de la Fer from assailants. She remembers
little of her past, but he provides her a safe haven while
she heals at least physically. When she recovers from her
injuries, he teaches her how to use a sword and other
skills so she can defend herself. However, his kindness
and nurturing cannot protect her from the nightmares she
suffers from every evening.
Jack realizes he must escort his ward to her family and
betrothed, the vile Marquis de Bauvin, but is reluctant to
do so. Instead he feels a need to keep Catherine safe,
something he believes would not occur if he handed her
over to the Marquis, rumored to be an evil sorcerer. As
Jack and Catherine fall in a forbidden love, they know
that soon they will have to confront the sorcerer who
plans to use her to obtain her family's supernatural
powers that will enhance him to levels so superior to
mankind they will seem like ants to be stepped on. Only
Catherine the skilled swordswoman and her lover stand in
Showing the width of her talent (to the chagrin of her
Regency devotees), Karen Harbaugh provides a strong
paranormal romance that hooks the audience because the
otherworldly environs seems so real in the author's mid
seventeenth century Europe. The story line is the classic
good vs. evil theme with the twist being that one of the
good guys (gal in this case) is slated to be the mate of
the malevolent menace. As she did with NIGHT FIRES, Ms.
Harbaugh enchants her audience with a dark tale lightened
by the goodness of love.

From publisher blurb:
With a dozen extra survivors to worry about on the trip to Colorado, and the day pushing toward sunset, the convoy decides to make camp at an abandoned motel. Realizing they need more supplies with the growing group, a team agrees to hit a nearby suburb to seek food and medicine.
After encountering the Living Dead, the team discovers more survivors trapped at the local elementary school. Although defended by a small group of young men, a majority of the survivor camp is comprised of the elderly, and without functioning transportation, they are unable to seek safer environs.
As they soon discover, some things in the world are far more disgusting than walking, rotting corpses.

On Tuesday Sept. 24, the defenders of Democracy were on the march. Since the inauguration
of United States President Donald J. Trump, the liberal wing of the U.S. Democratic Party has been calling on current Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, to launch articles of impeachment against the president. The liberal wing finally got their wish on Tuesday with Pelosi announcing that “no one is above the law”
and beginning a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s actions.
Pelosi finally caved to demands to launch an inquiry after a whistleblower complained of a potentially illegal phone call between President Trump and the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. It was believed that during the phone call President Trump used Ukraine’s need for congressionally approved military aid to persuade President Zelensky to “look into”
Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. More than likely, the move was motivated by President Trump’s desire to tarnish the reputation of Hunter’s father Joe Biden, the current Democrat nominee frontrunner.
The impeachment inquiry into President Trump conjures up memories of the 1998 impeachment of Bill Clinton. Back then, the tables were turned: the Republican Party controlled the U.S House of Representatives
, and the presidency was held by Democrat Bill Clinton. How events unfurled then may have a bearing on Pelosi’s initial resistance to the idea of launching an impeachment inquiry. Prior to the announcement of impeachment inquiries by then House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Clinton’s popularity had been below 60 percent.
However, once the House formally voted for articles of impeachment in late December, Clinton’s popularity reached the highest point of his whole presidency
. If current events follow a similar course, it could spell trouble for the Democrats, as in just over one year the U.S. will be entering election season. Continuous discussions of impeachment may help President Trump’s popularity as they helped Clinton’s. Likewise, the impeachment process may also be to the benefit of the House Republicans.
Back in 1998, five of the thirteen House Republicans who managed the Clinton trial lost their seats in the upcoming elections, whittling down the Republican majority. Currently it is the Democrats who hold a majority in the House. One effect of the current inquiry includes seven moderate Democrats calling for impeachment, with four of these seven Democrats coming from districts that voted for President Trump in 2016
. If public opinion over impeachment swings against the Democrats, they risk losing their majority in the House, and Nancy Pelosi also risks losing her job as Newt Gingrich did in 1999.
Impeachment talk also benefits President Trump as it plays on his anti-establishment, drain the swamp campaign that got him elected in 2016. The launching of an impeachment inquiry by those deemed to be mainstream establishment figures will only support President Trump’s rhetoric, that he is an outsider in Washington D.C. While Pelosi may be using impeachment to garner support from the liberal wing of her party, she risks firing up President Trump’s election base going into the 2020 election. Impeachment will deter independents who are against the kind of radicalisation and polarisation of U.S. American politics that such an impeachment hearing may come to represent. A move towards impeachment might be seen not as the upholding of the rule of law, but rather the decision of an overly zealous and belligerent Democratic party. A witch hunt will only act to force moderates into the arms of the Republican party and ensure President Trump secures his second term in 2020.
Unless President Trump is guilty of the actions which warrant his impeachment, all the gusto surrounding the Democrats launching impeachment will only sweep President Trump and the Republicans to victory in 2020.

Ari Melber Trashes Obama, Washington For ‘Orwellian’ Defense Of ‘Transparent’ FISA Courts
MSNBC host Ari Melber took aim at President Barack Obama, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, and the “surveillance industrial complex” in a scathing editorial segment on Wednesday’s The Cycle. He blasted the president for an “Orwellian” use of the word “transparent” to describe the decisions made in secret by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act courts which serve as a check on the National Security Agency’s communications monitoring programs.
“The president says he welcomes a debate on this issue,” Melber said of Obama’s defense of the NSA’s sweeping data gathering programs in an interview with CBS News anchor Charlie Rose. “And that’s good, because many of his defenses were debatable.”
RELATED: Obama Defends NSA On Charlie Rose, Rejects Cheney Comparison: Americans ‘Not Getting The Complete Story’
Melber hit Obama for conflating what the NSA’s telephonic monitoring programs target with the electronic communications monitoring program, PRISM, when he said that the FISA courts have overseen every federal request. He said that PRIMS nets 3 billion pieces of intelligence from computers in one month.
“Potentially 35 billion pieces in a year,” Melber said. “There aren’t 35 billion court orders for that.”
Later, Melber slammed Obama for saying the NSA’s process of obtaining intelligence is transparent because they go through the FISA courts.
“No,” Melber shot back. “You cannot invoke a secret court for transparency.”
“It’s not transparent. That’s why it meets in secret,” he continued.
Melber mocked the notion that the FISA courts were independent because they have almost never denied a request from the federal government to monitor a suspect. “I’d say that’s pretty rubber stampy,” Melber observed.
He linked this to the fact that Justice Roberts appoints every FISA judge. “This secret court now has one of the most monolithic, one party, right-wing benches in American history,” Melber declared. He said that changes can and should be made, but power-hungry politicians and profitable surveillance companies would oppose any changes to that system.

Woman Charged With Child Endangerment After Driving Two Children While Under The Influence Of Drugs
A woman has been arrested and charged with two counts of felony child endangerment after driving under the influence of drugs with her two toddlers in the back seat of her car. Police also suspect the children were not properly buckled in the vehicle.
28-year-old Amanda Lynn Sawyer was arrested March 6, 2019, after police responded to a call from a business about an unconscious woman who needed medical attention. There had already been two unrelated calls made to police earlier reporting Sawyer’s reckless driving, including a crash into a snow bank.
When responders arrived at the scene, Sawyer’s car was reportedly parked outside the business. Police noticed there were two child safety seats in the rear passenger area of the car, but that they were not buckled by a seatbelt into the vehicle. When police entered the building where Sawyer was reported to be unconscious, she was, in fact, upright and conscious but appeared to have been drooling. Police reports say Sawyer exhibited several alarming signs of drug abuse. Sawyer was clumsy and uncoordinated, and her speech was slurred and confused. Her eyes were also red, and she had what police presumed to be drool on her collar. Sawyer failed a field sobriety test and admitted to driving her two children, aged 1 and 3 years old, to the building. A breath test showed no signs of alcohol consumption. Sawyer admitted to using of the legal prescription drug Lorazepam. Sawyer has been involved in domestic violence charges in the past after being allegedly abused by her boyfriend. It is unclear whether the boyfriend is the father of either of her two children and if he was involved in this incident.
Sawyer’s bail has been set at $10,000.
