Truth be told, we don’t see enough of Léa Seydoux down at newsstands. But British Harper’s Bazaar just fed our craving for the French actress. Following Justine Picardie’s untimely exit and after failing to impress with lackluster Victoria Beckham and Emily Blunt covers, it’s safe to say the publication is back on track thanks to a stunning Gugu Mbatha-Raw outing last month. Now the mag gives us the Louis Vuitton brand ambassador on both the newsstand cover (below) and the subscribers’ alternative (after the jump) wearing head-to-toe looks from the French fashion house’s Spring 2020 collection picked by Leith Clark for the May 2020 images photographed by Alexi Lubomirski.
Needless to say, the majority of our forum members were thrilled. “Wow, these turned out much better than expected! The fashion styling is too much with that patterned wallpaper and bright yellow font, but the cropping is perfect and Léa looks stunning. Like a model. The first cover I have liked since Justine left,” praised Benn98.
“It’s always such a pleasure to see her on a cover,” said [Piece Of Me].

“A nice pair of covers, genuinely can’t complain about a single element… Absolutely love the warmth of the subscribers’ cover there, love the close-up of Léa, the overall composition and the red Bazaar masthead. Definitely my fave out of the two, despite also loving the vibrancy of the newsstand cover,” vogue28 chimed in.
In agreement over how wonderful everything looked was jal718: “Best covers of the year.”
Miss Dalloway couldn’t disagree more. “This is such an eyesore. Horrible styling and they couldn’t get at least one decent shot of such a beautiful woman for their cover?”
“They’ve lurched from having acres of empty space on the newsstand cover to producing an eyesore. This magazine is now coasting on the foundations that were built up by Lucy Yeomans and Picardie while slowly eroding them. Imagine this cover on some other worldwide edition of Bazaar — it probably wouldn’t be impressing anyone,” pointed out tigerrouge.

Side Trip Along the Superb Oregon Coast
01 July 2013 | Portland, Oregon
The coast of Oregon was on our doorstep, so we hired a car for a week to view a huge variety of marine and land wildlife. Starting with pelicans and elk in the North through to harbor seals, two grey whales and sea lions in the south. Everywhere there were thousands of sea birds, many of them having flown to the offshore islands off the coast to breed. We ambled along the beautiful coast camping in state forest campsites along the way. After reaching a few miles off the North California Coast we turned inland and wound our way through old growth conifer forests in the foothills of the Western Cascades.
At the moment it is over 90 degrees F in Portland and this heat wave is supposed to last for another week as a stationary high hovers over this part of the US. It means for us less cold temps in the mountains and hopefully no snow where we are going. Geoff is intent on having his birthday on the trail so off we go tomorrow not returning to real civilisation until 8th Aug.

Ever since I played Dragon Crystal for the Sega Game Gear, I’ve been a fan of dungeon crawlers. Even if runs often end up in failure more often than not, a good roguelike will simply keep me coming back for more. In the 20+ years since then the genre has evolved substantially, and the latest game to have players picking up items & battling a never ending supply of baddies inside a dungeon is Touhou Genso Wanderer.
Unlike a lot of dungeon crawlers, there’s a pretty big focus on story in Touhou Genso Wanderer. The game revolves around Reimu Hakurei, a shrine maiden that gets sucked into an adventure after accidentally triggering an object called the Golden Sphere. Nothing good comes from this, and now Reimu (with the help from some friends) has to set things right again. While the narrative starts off promising enough, the story quickly becomes a bore due to an overabundance of dialogue.
I’ve rarely seen a game say so little with so many lines of dialogue that wasn’t a Neptunia title (although at least those have more personality in its writing). Instead of simply introducing a mechanic (such as the game’s crafting system), the player will instead have to sit through a long dialogue sequence filled with hundreds of words just to get to a point that could’ve been summed up in a sentence or two. It’s really too bad that the plot is overly wordy, as it slows down scenes to a slug’s pace, and made me dread seeing characters that were otherwise likable beyond their constant talking.
A Solid Challenge
After the characters finished yapping, I found a dungeon crawler that got the fundamentals right. While there isn’t anything really surprising here besides a crafting system that uses an in-game currency called Nito points (this helps a lot when you run out of items, so don’t forget to use it), there’s something to be said about a traditional style crawler that is just fun to play. Players make their way from floor to floor taking out baddies (that always happen to be cute chibi-style girls), picking up items, and juggling their inventory because these games never give you a big enough bag. My only big complaint about the core gameplay is that the camera is way too zoomed in (it seems like the Vita was the main platform here), which means off-screen enemies can damage the player. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s definitely frustrating.
Special attacks come in the forms of spells called Danmakus, which are projectiles that use energy to use. These attacks are very useful, as most of the combat requires Reimu to be directly next to the character she’s fighting. Using Danmakus properly can be the difference between a successful battle and having to start over, and there’s a good variety of different skills (each takes up varying amounts of energy) to use.
Since the dungeons are very long (the very first one you tackle after the tutorial is over 30 floors long), there are various rest stops along the way. These will let the player spend money on rest, food (there’s a stamina system like other titles), and other items. Since the game is a grind by design, a lot of playthroughs will essentially be strictly to find better items, in an attempt to make one run in the future truly count. When that run is successful, then the game is highly satisfying, when it fails, it’s demoralizing. That’s the greatness of dungeon crawlers in an essence, and it definitely shows here.
Touhou Genso Wanderer Review (PS4) PlayStation LifeStyle
One of the quirks of dungeon crawlers that has always been divisive is the usage of random elements. While I believe it’s an essential part of the genre due to how repetitive it would be if the player had to constantly do the same stages, there’s no denying that poor luck can make these titles more frustrating than fun at times. This is the one big area where Touhou Genso Wanderer struggles, as the difficulty can really be all over the place.
Most of my deaths in the game came from instances when I’d be swarmed with enemies. It didn’t happen often, but when you’ve got to climb over 30 levels in order to get to a final boss, it’s bound to happen at some point. Getting overcrowded is almost a recipe for instant death unless the player has certain items (such as scrolls that attack an entire room), and even the best of players will be looking at a game over screen if they get a few bad rolls on back-to-back floors. Sadly, that bad luck results in losing a half-hour or more of progress.
Thankfully, Touhou Genso Wanderer is more kind than more hardcore crawlers (such as Shiren) as players don’t lose everything when they die. While their level is reset (which means players will have to clear out each floor before they move on unless they want to be under-powered), they keep all of their weapons, charms, and items. Since weapons and armor can be leveled up and made more powerful, this allows subsequent runs to be easier than the previous one. Victory is always within grasp here, even if the random element may make you feel like the game hates you at times.
Flawed, But Fun
When you consider how great a time it has been to be a fan of dungeon crawlers lately, it becomes hard to get too jazzed about an enjoyable one that doesn’t do anything truly special. From first-person titles like Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold and Dungeon Travelers 2 to more traditional titles like Shiren the Wanderer, there’s been no shortage of ways to get your fix. All of these are better titles than Touhou‘s attempt at the genre, even if Wanderer isn’t a failure by any means.
Ultimately, Touhou Genso Wanderer is a solid, if unspectacular, dungeon crawler. It’s in a strange area in-between accessible titles like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and ones built specifically for hardcore players. While it’s not as good as the top of its class, there’s still some solid fun (and challenge) to be had if you’re looking for something new.

Confidence key to economic recovery
There is light at the end of the tunnel for the national economy, according to Granville Area Chamber of Commerce President and Citizen’s Bank branch manager Harry Haldt, although it remains to be seen how long the recession will last.
Haldt said remarks made by TD Banknorth economist J. Alan Day at a recent presentation at the Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce luncheon entitled “When will our economy recover?” struck him as important enough to pass around.
Haldt said he included his thoughts on the June presentation in a chamber newsletter to get the information out to other business leaders in the area.
“While talking candidly about the nation’s economic challenges, (Day) balanced these opening remarks with some other facts that suggest a recovery is inevitable and that we’re perhaps better positioned than other areas of the country to expand economic opportunity,” Haldt said.
Negatives hindering recovery include the high level of personal debt, Haldt said. “This means we are less likely to buy bigger priced items like cars, homes and appliances. That is why car and home buying is down even with low interest rates,” he said.
Day also said state income tax collections are down throughout the nation and in New York, especially. Day said the state continues to spend too much money and paying the bill will mean either cuts or even higher taxes.
Day told those at the regional chamber meeting that the “misery index” at 11 percent was high, but not nearly as high as it had been in the early 1980s when it reached 20 percent. The “misery index” measures unemployment, interest rates and other factors. The current level is high largely due to unemployment, Day said. However, the “misery index” in 1981 surpassed 20 percent because Americans then faced both high unemployment and high interest rates, Haldt said.
Haldt said consumer confidence seems to be recovering, a bit at a time. People are still concerned about job security and holding off on some big purchases.
“People still aren’t willing to say, ‘Yippee, it’s over and I’m going to go out and buy that (thing) that I’ve been wanting,’” Haldt said.
Locally, Haldt said, when the confidence returns recovery will return with it.
“We do have some major businesses here, but this tends to be a town of smaller businesses. Even the smaller businesses are certainly affected by this. Whereas people before would go and do home improvement or other projects, sometimes they’re thinking about it and maybe slowing down or scaling back the project a little bit. Or, the guys with excavators who go and dig holes for foundations, people aren’t building quite as many new homes, so it all ripples through the economy,” he said.
At this point, Haldt said, it looks like people have not stopped spending, which in a consumer-driven economy is a good thing, but what they are doing is scaling back or holding off on major purchases.
Haldt said people are more likely to be improving their kitchen versus completely renovating it or taking steps to keep their car going versus trading in for something brand new.
Perhaps helping to lessen the blow is the relative stability of the real estate market, Haldt said.
“We may have been affected to a lesser degree than a lot of other parts of the country that have really been slammed,” Haldt said.
Although the dairy industry faces real trouble, with milk prices of a hundred pounds of milk selling for less than it costs to produce, other areas such as real estate did not see the boom and should not experience the bust.
In real estate, people bought homes in the area to live in or as second homes. The lack of flipping and speculation was a positive in the long run, he said. “This kind of area I think probably historically – I haven’t done that statistics – but it probably doesn’t peak as high and it doesn’t drop as far,” Haldt said. “That is a positive.”
Day told the group consumers seem to believe that the worst is over.
“There’s a new consumer normal where we are optimistic but still conservative, opening our wallets again but not as much as before, Haldt said.
Haldt said one thing that would affect consumer confidence was employment and how secure people feel in their jobs.
Day told the group the recovery at first may be a jobless one. Unemployment is likely to remain high as productivity and technological gains enable the U.S. economy to grow without having to hire new workers right away, Haldt said.
Day said technology was allowing productivity of workers to continue to improve.
Haldt summarized, “We’re all getting more efficient and capable of doing more work because of our use of technology.”
A sign Day saw as evidence of consumer confidence was tourism, which seems to have remained strong in the area this summer. People are still visiting the Lake George and Lake Champlain region, Day said.
Haldt said the “rub-off” from a large tourist areas such as Lake George helps not just the economy of that one town but many others rippling outward.
“You’ve still got people who are going to vacation. They will take drives and they will go places; so even us – we’re an hour to 45 minutes away – you do get a few people who will come around and go places,” he said.
Haldt said he had taken a dinner cruise with the Granville Lions Club Sunday and when the boat docked back in Lake George at 9 p.m. he was surprised to see the village was packed with people walking around.
“And, all of the shops were open,” he said, noting that people are still spending money on vacations.
Day also said the region benefits from having Canada as a neighbor. New York, he said, welcomes 469,000 visitors from Canada into the state every year. These tourists spend $855 million annually in New York.
Haldt said the chamber focuses on helping local businesses through making them aware of opportunities for loan programs, actions of community groups like GPED, and the Granville Partnership for Economic Development and letting people know where they can go for help with anything relating to their business.
“We’re just trying to encourage people,” he said.
Haldt said it was also important to buy local whenever possible to keep spent dollars and tax dollars in the area economy.

“Though JPMorgan’s adjustments were appropriate and contractually required,” the complaint said, “Tesla has flagrantly ignored its clear contractual obligation to pay JPMorgan in full.”
Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment after market hours.
According to the complaint, Tesla sold the warrants to reduce potential stock dilution from a separate convertible bond sale and to lower its federal income taxes.
JPMorgan said it had been contractually entitled to adjust the warrants’ terms following “significant corporate transactions involving Tesla.”
The automaker in February 2019 complained that the bank’s adjustments were “an opportunistic attempt to take advantage of changes in volatility in Tesla’s stock,” but did not challenge the underlying calculations, JPMorgan said.
Musk’s tweets led to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission civil charges and $20 million fines against both him and Tesla.
The case is JPMorgan Chase Bank v. Tesla Inc., 21-cv-09441, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

In total there are sixty different puzzle pieces, all of which can be acquired in the game's first five levels (levels 2 - 6). Once you've collected all of the pieces, assembled each world's jigsaw puzzle and read all of the books (which tell the story) you can move on to world 1. It's here that the story really takes off. Think of it like Portal, which is perhaps the closest comparison you can make. The first bunch of levels are all about teaching you how to play in this world, while the last bit is all of the story. And what a story it is. It's not enough that this is a phenomenal puzzle game from beginning to end, but it also has one of the most surprising endings I've ever seen in a video game. It's the kind of ending that will make you rethink what you just played. The kind of ending that will stick with you long after you've finished the 5 hour quest. It's an ending that is surprisingly mature; something that doesn't talk down to its audience. It's honest and heartfelt, but also the kind of thing you actually have to think about. It's so clever; in fact, that I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of gamers simply don't understand what's going on. Braid has the kind of ending I want to see more of.
Braid is the kind of experience that is about something. You may not know what at first, but by the time you've seen and done everything it's hard to not feel like you've really experienced something important. Braid is important, it's the kind of game that so better than we deserve. It's the difference between, say, Hancock and The Dark Knight, or even According to Jim and Arrested Development. This game may play on the same system that runs Guitar Hero and Scene It, but it's on a level all its own. Braid is a masterpiece.
It also seems aware of its place in the games industry. It's constantly making references to classic 8-bit games, including Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong and the like. It may look more grown up, but in its heart it's spending a lot of time playing homage to things we've grown up loving. Some of these things are completely out in the open, such as a dinosaur that suggests that the princess is in another castle. Some things are slightly more subtle (a Donkey Kong-inspired level named Jumpman springs to mind). Either way, the game plays out like a heartfelt love letter to the last thirty years of video games.
Of course, the it's not the originality of the puzzles, the mature storyline, the outstanding gameplay or even the funny classic video game references that people will initially notice. No, instead people will notice the stunning graphics. It's not often I get a chance to rave about the visuals in an Xbox Live Arcade title, but Braid is allowing me to do a lot of things I rarely get a chance to do. All it takes is one look at a picture and you'll realize that the game is sporting a hand-drawn look that sets it apart from everything else. The backgrounds, foregrounds, even the enemies (which include strange looking goomba creatures) all look like somebody just drew (or in the case of the backgrounds, painted) them. A lot of games have their own unique style that sets them apart, but Braid is one of the first games that looks so good that you could hang it on your wall and pass it off as fine art.
Oh, and did I mention that the music is also phenomenal? I'm not one to brag about game music, but Braid delivers a score that not only fits the mood perfectly, but is the type of thing I would want to listen to when not playing the game. And it shouldn’t surprise you that the game's music also plays a role in the game's outcome, though I will avoid spoiling that surprise for you. If Number None (who developed this amazing product) don't release a full soundtrack, then I'm going to be extremely disappointed. Not since Everyday Shooter have I been so impressed with the music from a small downloadable title.
Unfortunately there's a gigantic gorilla in the room that I can't ignore, no matter how many words I use to try and convince you that this is one of the greatest games of all time. The one big complaint is the price tag, which is a tad more expensive than we're used to paying for an Xbox Live Arcade title. The game comes in at $15, which isn't too bad for the amount of gameplay you get. Depending on how good you are at solving puzzles the game could take you anywhere from four hours all the way up to ten or more. I found myself going through it in around five hours, but that's just me. Outside of a Speed Run options (yet another throwback to game culture) the game doesn't have a lot of replay. Then again, how much replay did Assassin's Creed have? Or what about BioShock? These games were no more than ten hours long, yet they were four times the price. Braid may not have the amazing 3D polygonal graphics, but it does have enough gameplay to warrant the $15 asking price.
In the end this product is all about the puzzles. If you absolutely hate solving puzzles, don't care about a moving story and would rather just shoot Nazis in another World War II-themed first-person shooter, then Braid is probably not the game for you. However, if you're like me and like to try out new things then you will be treated to one of the best games of all time. Scratch that, Braid is easily one of the best games I have ever played. It's near perfect, which is exactly why you should stop reading this review and purchase some Microsoft Points. $15 may sound like a lot of money for an Xbox Live Arcade game, but I guarantee that this game will change how you feel about Microsoft's download service.
Braid is an absolute masterpiece, from beginning to end. It's the kind of game that will stick with you long after you've completed it. It's the kind of game that you'll feel the need to tell all your friends about. It's the kind of game we'll still be talking about ten years from now. If you don't already own Braid, then either you hate fun or simply haven't discovered this charming (and beautiful) platformer/puzzler!

New research shows cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can help children with autism manage not only anxiety but other emotional challenges, such as sadness and anger.
Led by Kids Brain Health researcher Dr. Jonathan Weiss, an associate professor in York University’s Department of Psychology, Faculty of Health and CIHR Chair in Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research, the study shows CBT can lead to significant improvements in children’s emotional regulation. It also shows – for the first time – that CBT can improve more than just anxiety in children with autism.
The randomized controlled trial was the first transdiagnostic evaluation of CBT for children with autism, meaning the protocol was not tailored to specifically for ASD.
Approximately 70 per cent of children with autism face emotional challenges – about half of among these have issues with anxiety, while 25 to 40 per cent deal with anger or depression. Often, emotional challenges are co-occurring.
“We can use this same intervention to improve children’s skills more broadly regardless of what emotional challenge they have,” says Weiss. “We can make them more resilient to many emotional and mental health issues.”
Sixty-eight children from 8 to 12 years of age and their parents, mostly mothers, participated in the study and were randomly assigned to two groups: one group receiving 10 sessions beginning right away and another group waiting to receive treatment later. Researchers tracked how their emotions and behaviour changed prior to and after treatment.
“We showed that children who received this treatment right away improved in their ability to manage their emotions, and in overall mental health problems, versus kids who were waiting for treatment,” says Weiss.
A clinician who was not involved in the direct provision of the treatment and did not know if children were in the treatment or waitlist group rated 74% of children receiving treatment as improved, compared to only 31% of those in the waitlist group.
The treatment consisted of time-limited spy-themed cognitive behavioural therapy involving a computer program, games and tools to help build the child’s emotional skills. The tools help children face situations that may have previously been challenging, with greater resiliency. During the intervention, parents also practice what they are learning with their children and serve as co-therapists in the therapy sessions.
“We believe that children grow and develop and improve within the context of healthy families and this intervention aids to help the family unit more broadly to be the agent of change,” states Weiss.
Researchers are now looking at how this intervention can be used for other neurodevelopmental conditions that often overlap with autism, such as ADHD.
This study was funded by the CIHR Chair in ASD Treatment and Care Research, in partnership with Health Canada, Kids Brain Health Network, Autism Speaks Canada, the Sinneave Family Foundation, and the Canadian ASD Alliance with additional funding from York University.
The study is published in The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.

I'd love to see a revised BB that has the organic quality of the SL. Also, please refrain from posting recommendations if you haven't actually played the SL Drive. Thanks in advance for your responses.

LANSING, MI -- Police here are reaching out to the public for help in identifying and finding a man they say robbed a Lansing convenience store at gunpoint last week.
Lansing police public information officer Robert Merritt said police responded to 7-Eleven, 1975 E. Jolly Road, about 10 p.m. on Thanksgiving for a reported armed robbery.
A store employee told police a man entered the store, indicated he had a gun and demanded money. The employee obliged, and the suspect made off with cash, cigarettes and alcohol, Merritt said.
No one was injured in the incident.
Police attempted a canine track of the suspect, but it was unsuccessful.
The suspect is described as a black man, about 5-foot-6, with a medium build, wearing a bright yellow University of Michigan zip-up hooded sweatshirt with a block "M" on the back. A surveillance camera at the 7-Eleven captured the adjacent photo of the suspect.
Lansing police say the suspect is the same person behind the robbery of a Quality Dairy late Sunday night.
Those with information on this incident are asked to call the Lansing Police Department's Crime Stoppers line at 517-483-STOP.
Anonymous tips can also be sent to the department via text message at 847411. Begin the message with "LPD517," then text your tip.


Sony's PlayStation 4 DualShock Controller Now Supported in Fedora Linux, GNOME
Sep 20, 2017, 13:00 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Marius Nestor)
The patches submitted by the developer to the Bluetooth packages in the latest Fedora Linux release promise to bring improvements to the way PlayStation 3 DualShock controllers are set up in the environment if you're using the GNOME desktop environment. Until now, to set up a DualShock 3 controller, users had to plug it in via USB, then disconnect it, and then press the "P" button on the joypad, which would have popped-up a dialog to confirm the Bluetooth connection. But this method had some quirks though.

As we watch the retail environment evolve and respond to the market place, another evolution is about to occur with retail, mixed-use, and office facilities. Landlords and developers in this arena tend to think about the entrances to their properties as the front door. I think that for most customers, the first impression of a project occurs when they arrive at the project’s site.
In my career, access and parking were usually the forces that determined design solutions when planning a new site. The amount of space dedicated to parking, in conjunction with other requirements such as storm water management (storm sewer, surface water swales, possible detention/retention areas) and ancillary needs (pocket parks, water features, decorative and descriptive site signage) necessitate a certain amount of green space. After that, you looked at what was left for your building footprint.
In the next decade or so, sites will be built more densely and efficiently.
I don’t care if you want to talk about parking lots, parking ramps, or parking garages. For the purposes of this dialogue, they are all to be considered similar. I think that a massive change is coming and there will be a lot of real estate that will need to be reworked and repurposed.
We are on the leading edge of smart cities, self -driving cars, flying single-occupant taxis, robots, drones and, of course, Amazon’s Alexa. Even the U.S. Navy has created as autonomous unmanned warship called Sea Hunter. Experts maintain that we are eight to ten years away from integrating these technologies our daily lives. Soon, mobility devices will be for hire or purchase.
Eventually, if you don’t use public transit, the drive to work will be made in a self-driving for-hire vehicle that drops you off at the office and then goes to assist other customers, or clusters together with other for-hire vehicles at busy times to await their next tasks. There are applications that allow self-driving vehicles to talk to one another several times per second. This communication would allow self-driving cars to move in tight formations at relatively high speeds while minimizing space between themselves and maximizing the number of vehicles on a designated travel path.
Imagine buying your groceries online from Walmart and then having a delivery robot bring your order to your residence. If you choose to work through your lunch hour, a small delivery robot could brings you the lunch you ordered online, negating companies like Uber Eats and GrubHub? After work, that same delivery droid can meet you at your residence with a bottle of wine or a six pack of beer. This will be part of the so-called last mile system to deliver goods.
For those who love retail therapy, how about a new retail prototype that has a robotic concierge assistant that brings you refreshments or helps you select the perfect pair of shoes? How about another droid that follows you to carry and stores all your purchases as you move about the store?
What is to become of huge underutilized parking areas? An investment buy? There are millions of square feet devoted to accommodate our vehicles. With self-driving vehicles, we will need a small fraction of that square footage. What are we all going to do about those parking structures that have long gently sloping levels that move vehicles between adjacent flat levels? It is not too soon to begin to consider how existing flat parking lots become any number of things. These garages could become offices, beautiful parks, bioswales, interactive green spaces, fitness centers, transit stations, walking paths, high-density housing, restaurants, medical centers, recreational, entertainment venues or more shopping.
If you have a new parking structure to create, it is not too soon to give some significant thought to how it can easily be reused with minimum demolition. Make the parking levels flat. Design the elements that physically allow the automobiles movement up or down between levels to be easily reconfigured for elevators, escalators, and additional stairs. Plan for obsolescence. It is coming.
If your parking structure is existing, now is the time to give some thought to how much work might it be to remove it and reuse the site? In addition, how much work and cost might be needed to revise the structure to facilitate new uses? Is the amount of feet between levels sufficient to accommodate other uses such as retail, office, or residential?
In any of these scenarios, plan ride hailing areas to wait for hired vehicles. Start interacting with your various authorities having jurisdiction so that as this new reality begins to happen. They can become partners to the progress and not uninformed opponents.
As much as we love our vehicles, it is imperative that we recognize and reconsider the millions of square feet we devote to our cars. This is a phenomenal amount of space. Consider the exciting possibilities of that space being necessary in the future, and the remainder being repurposed to all types of more beautiful and satisfying human uses.

Personal income and consumer spending rebounded in November, following hurricane-depressed readings in October. Specifically, the U.S. Commerce Department reported, at 8:30AM (EST), that personal income had risen by 0.6% last month. That was better than the 0.4% gain expected, and notably ahead of the scant 0.1% uptick registered in October. At the same time, Commerce reported that consumer spending rose by 0.4% last month; expectations here had been for a gain of 0.3%. In October, spending had fallen by 0.1%, under pressure, no doubt, from the tragic disruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Personal consumption expenditures--which track purchases ranging from cars and clothing to health care and travel--account for about two-thirds of the nation's gross domestic product. Hence, the results of this series are critical, and play a key role in assessing the health of the aggregate economy. In the third quarter, the solid gains in consumer spending had helped the U.S. economy grow by an upwardly revised 3.1% in the period. However, notwithstanding the nice recovery in spending in November, the damage from the aforementioned storm, the likelihood that inventories will be drawn down in the current period, and the probability that spending plans are being shelved, or at least delayed by the budget intransigence in Washington, suggest that growth in the fast-concluding quarter will be less than 1.5%.
Meanwhile, the gain in personal income was the largest in nine months. But the fact that income surpassed spending by 0.6% to 0.4% suggests that that many Americans, worried that the approach of the so-called fiscal cliff in early January could jeopardize the business expansion, are holding back on spending. And, last night, the failure of House Speaker John Boehner's Plan B to even make it to a vote, sent a further ominous message that we may yet go off of the dreaded cliff next month.
Overall, this was a decent report, but it does not alter the fact that the nation's economy slowed down materially in the fast-ending fourth quarter, with GDP growth, as noted, unlikely to even reach 1.5%. From there, the picture grows even more uncertain, as the nation seems on track to possibly go off of the cliff on January 2nd. Our sense right along has been that a deal will get brokered either by the deadline in the weeks thereafter. We still think that is likely, but our confidence level is moderating some this morning, especially in light of last night's goings on in the Capitol.

(Update: Adding video, comment from business owner, Oregon OSHA)
PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Traci Haley is the co-owner of the Yo Central frozen yogurt shop in Prineville, and she acknowledges: “Covid fatigue is real.”
But two years into the pandemic, she is still enforcing an indoor mask policy in her store.
“I get really tired of telling people, ‘Hey you need to wear a mask, to pull it over your nose.’ It’s tiring, but it’s important,” Haley said Thursday.
Haley is a cancer survivor, and immune compromised.
She said other stores seem to let mask-wearing go, but with her situation, she can't afford to.
“I especially don’t want to see what Covid would do to someone like me, so I ask my customers to wear a mask,” Haley said.
On Wednesday, all three Central Oregon counties had the highest rate of covid cases per 100K people in the state.
Crook at 2,099, Deschutes at 2,117, and Jefferson at 2,070.
Oregon OSHA said it is still actively enforcing mask-wearing policies, giving at least 219 citations and issuing several hundred thousands of dollars in fines since the pandemic began.
OSHA said it follows Oregon Health Authority guidelines, ensuring businesses, “make reasonable efforts to ensure customers, guests, visitors and other individuals comply with this rule within the indoor space.”
But not everyone seems to care.
NewsChannel 21 asked Doug Deurden, who lives in Prineville, if he wears a mask in a store with a sign telling him to do so.
“No, I don’t,” Deurden said. “I don’t think they need to be worn anywhere.”
One man told NewsChannel 21 if he knows the store enforces the policy, he’ll keep the mask on. But if he knows that they don’t really care, he’ll take it off.
Haley said, “That’s their right -- they don’t have to wear a mask, But they just can’t not wear a mask here.”
Haley said she’s lost business, been called names to her face and harassed over the phone.
But it’s not going to change her mind.
“I can’t compromise on what I believe is right just for the sake of building my business,” Haley said.

Diners seeking seafood alternatives may select from salads and chowders or entrees such as rack of lamb or stuffed chicken breast. Oyster Creek Inn is open daily for lunch and dinner.
The Oyster Bar on Chuckanut Drive
Open daily for lunch and dinner, the Oyster Bar on Chuckanut Drive (theoysterbar.net) has a menu that changes seasonally and offers expansive views of Samish Bay. The restaurant's award-winning wine cellar complements fresh seafood, wild game and other dishes incorporating local ingredients.

Founded in the 1920s as an oyster company, the Oyster Bar became a dining destination following renovations and an expanded menu. Private dining is available in the Oyster Bar's wine cellar for up to 20 guests.
The Rhododendron Cafe (rhodycafe.com) serves brunch on weekends and lunch and dinner during the week. Opened in the early 1900s as a gas station, the cafe embraces its history on Chuckanut Drive and is located halfway between the towns of Edison to the west and Bow to the east. A full menu of Northwest fare is served at the cafe, such as Dungeness crab and local oysters, as well as an Ethnic Odyssey offering based on the cuisine of another area of the world, such as the Mediterranean or western Europe.

A Federal Highway Administration official says the state will lose $32 million in federal aid if it redesigns a replacement bridge acrossthe lower Severn River to suit residents who want a new drawbridge.
The FHA has agreed to finance 80 percent of a $40 million bridge with which the state plans to replace the Route 450 drawbridge.
"If not constructed as presently designed, these discretionary funds will be returned (to the federal government)," said Porter Barrows administrator of FHA's Maryland Division.
A coalition of residents and County Councilwoman Maureen Lamb, however, have complained that the 80-foot-high replacement will mar Annapolis' historic skyline and damage the environment.
They want the state to reconsider the design.
Last week, the Severn River Association -- an umbrella group representing 600 individuals and 101 neighborhood organizations -- joined the opposition.
In a May 21 letter to State Highway Administrator Hal Kassoff, the association endorsed a new drawbridge.
Barrows said the federal aid was awarded specifically for the high-span design. But, he said, even if it weren't linked, the state could not redesign the bridge in time to use the money this year.
"If this design is not built, and I surely hope it is, I think it is the right design for this spot. It would take a long time to come up with a newdesign," Barrows said.
The FHA has given state highway officials until mid-August to commit to building the bridge, Barrows said. Then, the federal government will award the money to another state.
Meanwhile, Department of Transportation officials say they don't have $8 million needed for the state's share of the bridge.
DOT officials have told state lawmakers they don't have the $59 million in matching money they need to claim a total of $300 million in federal aid.
State lawmakers, who rejected Gov. William Donald Schaefer's proposed gasoline tax, insist DOT officials are wrong.

Merchants propose not to over package moon cakes. Moon cakes are listed in paperback.
yesterday morning, I saw in a shopping mall in Taidong that although it was still a long time before August 15 of the lunar calendar, the merchant's moon cake sales counter could not wait to get there first, reminding people that the Mid Autumn Festival was coming. The packaging of counter products should gradually change from the previous simple, protective and passive packaging situation to a branded, market-oriented and active packaging situation. The moon cake "takes off" the previous gorgeous coat and replaces it with the traditional simple packaging. It is reported that on July 20, 50 industrial and commercial enterprises in Qingdao jointly launched the "initiative not to produce over packaged moon cakes with tariff exemption" and even temporarily closed the whole production line, which extinguished the luxury trend in this year's moon cake market in advanceConvenient switching

Though I am not very religiously observant I find it disturbing that our culture considers religious men (or women) who act less than virtuous to be hypocrites. Our culture tars such folks as hypocritical when they are caught cheating (either on finances or spouses), as though being religious means being perfect.
My understanding is that all major religions consider humans to be imperfect, even fallen, and that some of the purposes of religion are to help folks achieve forgiveness and redemption when they sin and to help them strive to be less sinful. There is nothing hypocritical about being a member of such a religious faith while engaging in such behaviors: to be religious in this sense is to acknowledge one’s own imperfect nature and to know that forgiveness and redemption will be necessary and obtainable when one does not live up to one’s ideals. It both demeans and misapprehends the purpose of religion when our culture treats such folks as hypocrites. It is only when religious folks revel in such behaviors that they earn this epitaph.
However, many of the same folks claiming religious piety also claim to be strong believers in “family values,” which they have not chosen to define as creating high quality education for all children, or guaranteeing health care and safe neighborhood for all children, or freeing the world of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Instead they have chosen to define “family values” as avoiding and discouraging homosexuality, adultery and abortion. These “family values” folks do not accept deviation from these codes of sexual behavior for others and therefore are hypocrites when they are caught violating these same codes.
So I say have compassion for the religious person who has fallen short of his or her ideals. But for the “family values” espouser caught engaging in acts that “family values” prohibit, I suggest we are free to hang them from their testicles and waterboard them.


Observer ReportTuesday, April 24, 2012 - Lahoer: The Gurmani Centre for Languages and Literature of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at LUMS organized a conference on the “Naya Urdu Afsana” to commemorate the centennial of the iconic writer Saadat Hasan Manto. The daylong conference began with the welcome address by the Vice Chancellor of LUMS, Professor Adil Najam and introduction by Yasmeen Hameed, Coordinator of the Gurmani Centre. This opening session was chaired by Intezar Husain, who brought into focus the different problems associated with afsana, as a term and as a concept.
Dr. Shamim Hanfi from Delhi delivered an eloquent keynote address in which he spoke about the different receptions and interpretations of Manto’s writings and also commented on afsana in general by saying that its purpose is not to report on the social and political circumstances of the time but rather to shed light on human emotions. Bano Qudsia spoke about new trends in the Urdu short story. She said that creativity, however radical, is grounded in a pre-existing tradition.

Her ensemble for her efficiency– a vibrant, print-heavy attire by the Brazilian designer Mayara Bozzato– was similarly rooted in the concept of Brazilian pride. “The appearance is motivated by style of the Baile funk scene in Rio, specifically from the early 2010s, which was when I began going to these celebrations and sensation motivated to make funk music myself,” states Anitta. “I like how attractive me and all my dancers looked throughout the efficiency– there’s a great deal of skin flaunting, intense colors that completely discussion with my culture.” The star includes that bringing a dash of Brazilian style to the awards reveal was a dream become a reality. “To carry out an entire assortment of Brazilian funk tunes at the VMAs was fantastic,” she states. “Getting to display my culture and my origins to the world is in fact among the factors I do this task.”
If that weren’t enough, Anitta likewise went on to win the very best Latin award for her tune “Funk Rave” later on at night (accepting the prize in a naked Alexander Wang dress), carried out with Tomorrow x Together in a black leather getup, and hosted an after celebration with, “a Brazilian funk style and ambiance to it.” She elaborates, “It was a lot enjoyable! For that, I stayed with the style with a blue ensemble that simply hugged my body, I felt really attractive and positive in it.”
Now that the VMAs are over, Anitta will be heading back into the studio to complete her approaching album. “It will be a Brazilian funk extravaganza, and I can’t await y’ all to listen to it,” she states. “I hope this gets fans thrilled for what’s to come, since I’m preparing a great deal of terrific surprises.”

Rudy Gobert admits Jazz must get back to being ‘dogs defensively’
The Utah Jazz have always banked on their physicality and defense as the formula to their success. But this season, it seems like the identity they have built defensively over the past seasons is slowly crumbling. In light of their defensive struggles over the past month, Jazz center Rudy Gobert believes they should get back to being “dogs defensively” if they want to reach their ultimate goal of winning an NBA championship.
“I feel like it’s not in our DNA yet to be dogs defensively as a team,” says Gobert, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN. “It’s in the program’s DNA, but we don’t come out every night thinking, ‘I’m going to be physical; I’m going to make things hard for the other guy.’ We need that dog mentality.”
Offense has always been the Achilles heel of previous Jazz teams in the Rudy Gobert – Donovan Mitchell era. With a busy 2019 summer in acquiring Mike Conley and signing Bojan Bogdanovic, Utah has seen stark improvement on that end of the floor this season.
Unfortunately, as the offense got better, the defense slipped, and the two-time Defensive Player of the Year is noticing it, too.
“When we started to become very good offensively this year, our focus kind of shifted,” Gobert says. “It’s almost like we let [our defense] slide. I think it’s natural as humans when things go well, we’re not as hard on ourselves. We’re winning, so we keep doing what we’re doing.
“And that edge just slowly goes away.”
Utah was a middle-of-the-pack team in terms of offensive rating in 2017-18 and 2018-19. This year, they are showcasing a top-10 offense. However, as mentioned, the Jazz have seen a drop off defensively. Boasting a top-3 defensive rating over the last three seasons, Utah has slid to number 12 this 2019-20 season.
Utah soared to the no. 2 spot in the West with a strong six-week stretch from December to January that saw them win 19 of 22 games. Unfortunately, this past month has been absolutely brutal for them. They are 4-8 over this stretch and are now the fifth seed in the Western Conference playoff picture.


Yesterday I did what I call a Big Mow, which means riding around on the tractor for a good 2 1/2 hours, followed by cleaning up with the push mower and the weed whacker to whatever extent I feel up for. This happens maybe four or five times a year, with more frequent maintenance of my front lawn and orchard. The jungle strives relentlessly to reclaim what I have won at great expense and labor, but I am always working not just to hold the line, but to push it outward.
I've thrown some grass seed around my front lawn, but otherwise I just mow whatever wants to be there. Oh yeah, I did seed some white dutch clover when I first cleared the land, on the advice of a farmer friend, because it fixes nitrogen and will help build up the soil over the years. It's established itself pretty well in some places.
Mowing promotes a grassy regime, even without further intervention. But the native grasses of New England have been competing with introduced European turf grasses and hay now for 500 years. The native grass that wants to grow here is nimblewill. Some hayseed has blown in from nearby fields, and other grasses form sod patches here and there. The dandelions and plantain weeds, by the way, are also European imports.
No doubt there are among you some who, like Ted Kaczynski, would object to my endless battle to subdue nature -- with the use of fossil fuel, no less. (I could get some sheep or goats if I wanted to be a bit less offensive.) But it turns out to be more complicated than that.
The southern New England landscape was dominated by meadows, with only remnant forest, for hundreds of years, after the Europeans had cleared it for pasture and fuel. And the faunal regime adapted. Many of our most charismatic species are actually in decline as the woods have reconquered the landscape, including the eastern cottontail rabbit and many species of birds. I posted a picture of a barred owl a couple of years ago. In fact we have at least two of them, that we sometimes hear yelling at each other, presumably over territorial boundaries. They profit from the voles that depend on the grassland I maintain.
The same goes for my grass snakes, toads, and who knows what else. The fringe of the woods is full of raspberries that I'm sure are helping to support songbirds. In short, the diversity of ecological niches created by human intervention is essential to the New England we have come to know and consider "natural." There was nothing "wrong" with the vast, unbroken forest of the Indians, but that wasn't exactly natural either. They kept the understory thin by lighting fires, so they could travel and hunt more easily; and they created small, temporary clearings by girdling trees, for gardening.
Take away the people, whatever their form of society and technological regime, and you have a different nature. Every creature modifies its environment. Can you truly say we have more impact than the oak trees, or the deer, or the earthworm?

FLOWERY BRANCH - In a season rife with injuries and lineup changes, the Atlanta Falcons will deploy their fifth configuration of linebackers Sunday at Tampa Bay.
This time, it will be good news.
Sean Weatherspoon, out since suffering a foot sprain in the second game, was activated this week and will start in his customary weakside spot when the Falcons (2-7) play visit the Buccaneers (1-8).
"Sean has been the leader of our defense the last three years and the signal caller," said Falcons coach Mike Smith. "He brings a lot of energy and passion to the game. He's earned the role of a leader. You don't anoint one; they earn it and he's earned it."
Weatherspoon's replacement- rookie Paul Worrilow - has played so well that he's staying in the lineup. He had 38 tackles in the past two games so defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is moving middle linebacker Akeem Dent to a reserve role and putting Worrilow to that spot.
With 19 tackles each against Carolina and Seattle, Worrilow became the second Falcon (Jessie Tuggle) to have two 15-tackle games in a season.
Not bad for a guy who went undrafted.
In training camp, Worrilow's only goal was to claw his way onto the team.
"My main focus was showing my ability to play special teams and take coaching," he said Friday. "Then, of course, show that they could trust me at linebacker if needed. I didn't think (success) was going to be this immediate, but I've always been confident in my ability. I felt that if given the opportunity I would play well."
Injuries have assured Worrilow and fellow undrafted rookie linebacker Joplo Bartu plenty of opportunities. Bartu became the strongside starter after Kroy Biermann suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the first game.
Worrilow has played in every game, starting five, yet his success wasn't immediate.
After registering just two tackles in Atlanta's first four games, he's had 57 in five games since. He's second on the team with 59 tackles, trailing only safety William Moore (81). Moore has played every one of the Falcons' 595 defensive snaps. Worrilow has played 329, or 55.3 percent.
Bartu has 57 tackles while playing 83.7 percent of all snaps (498), and Thomas DeCoud, a safety, has 55 tackles in 99.5 percent of all snaps (592).
The Falcons liked what they saw in Worrilow at Delaware, but nobody predicted this.
"It's good to see a young player become that active that quickly. He has a nose for the football," Mike Smith said. "We had an inkling that might be the case. He's got a very good mind for a rookie. His football intelligence is out of this world."
The 6-foot, 230-pound Worrilow will have a different role in the middle. He will give up the job of receiving signals from the sideline (Weatherspoon will do that), yet will find himself talking more as he plays in the middle for the first time since preseason.
"There are some different run fits that I have to be worried about, and a lot more calls and stuff. I'll be working with both linebackers communication-wise instead of one," he said. "I had the headset for the past three or four games. The first game it was kind of stressful, but once you get comfortable with that you don't think about it."
Weatherspoon's energy will be a welcome addition. He had nine tackles in a season-opening loss to New Orleans and four more against the Rams before he was injured. He said his conditioning might be an issue, but he feels otherwise ready to play.
"You don't get to run a lot when you've been out. ... I've been trying to tighten up my coverages a little bit," he said. "I think practice gave me a chance to get better at that and I feel like I'll be fine out there."
Notes: Tight end Tony Gonzalez (toe), Weatherspoon and wide receiver Harry Douglas (knee) are questionable for Sunday, although the coach said Weatherspoon will start and coaches do not plan to limit his snaps. Regarding Gonzalez, Smith said, "He was able to get out and do some limited work, and Spoon was a limited participant as well. He had a pretty good workload." Rookie defensive end Malliciah Goodman (calf) is out.

Last week in New York, Adweek hosted their annual conference to address some of the hot topics on the mind of marketers and agencies. One area of discussion was Digital Privacy and how to navigate this in an age of new regulation and uncertainty.
What do we know about Privacy Regulation as 2019 draws to a close?
General consensus is that there is still no clarity on what the emerging privacy regulations will mean for the future of digital advertising. We can analyze how GDPR affected Europe as a guide, but GDPR requires consent, while CCPA and other US State regulation only requires that consumers be given the option to opt-out.
But, there is general agreement that cleaning up data regulation is good for everyone because it will drive stronger relationships between marketers, publishers and consumers that are based on trust. Consumers will appreciate the transparency, as well as an improved digital experience. Consumers have indicated a willingness to trade their information if there is a benefit to them. For Publishers, having an authenticated user base will have more value and should improve CPMs. First-party data will be king.
Preparing for 2020 – Have a Data Governance Plan
The single most important thing for publishers right now is to have a data governance plan in place. Anyone who has not already started thinking about this is behind. Publishers need to understand what data they are collecting and how they are using it. And as we move into 2020, building on this so that collected data is labeled and for that label to follow the data as it moves through your site. Policies should be well articulated on your site. Because consumers care about digital privacy, marketers will, and ad dollars will be pushed to trusted sources.
The Universal ID
Among the participants and panelists, there is agreement that a Universal ID by a neutral entity would be extremely beneficial to consumers, marketers and publishers alike. There are a few consortiums out there but no full solution yet. DigiTrust, which was acquired by IAB Tech Lab in 2018 seems to be the most used at this juncture. There is a lot more work that the industry as a whole needs to do here. But working together, cooperating and unifying will be necessary to make anything work. It was noted that it will be particularly important for smaller publishers to unify and make sure their voice is represented. Lots more to come on this in the near future.
Or Get an App
Good App penetration is one answer to surviving a cookieless world. Having no free web content and sending users to get an App in order to access content is an alternative to a log-in wall or pay wall.
More to come on this topic in 2020 as the industry looks for a replacement for the third-party cookie and a likely shift away from audience-based buying. A useful analysis from Adexchanger can be found here.
Predictions for 2020
- Measurement will be more complicated as consumers opt-out and there is a crackdown on 3rd party cookies
- Should be some expectation that consumers will opt-out
- 60% of users indicated they would
- Contextual targeting will make a comeback but the definition will shift and may mean different things to different people
- Aligning Creative to customer journey will be more important than ever
- Ad Spending will go up. Social Media Ads, PMPs and other deals where buyers know exactly what they are getting will help drive this.

Hi Mr. Howland!
I really want to tell you how very much I (and my mother, who is 78) enjoy your dvd (southern nature and wildlife). I hope you make millions. In our household, like so many in America, the TV has become so predominant. And it's really a bummer when you realize there's nothing good to watch. And if you turn it off, you feel so "weird." But now, thanks to your dvd, I can have that Sony babysitter, and I can just look at the forest scenes. I wouldn't be surprised if it lowers my blood pressure. Well, thanks again... Happy trails.....Mike. DVD media is -R I am the producer of this video, all DVD's are brand new. We have produced these DVD's using professional 3chip and HD cameras.
