text: President Obama touted his National Export Initiative this week, boasting that in the first quarter of this year, exports were up 17% from a year ago. Increased exports abroad generate jobs at home. Given the numerous economic problems we see reemerging of late, a little good news comes as welcome relief. But don't break out the spirits. Exports are a delectable appetizer, but the full meal is less digestible. Imports count too. Buying stuff abroad that could be made here displaces jobs. What matters is the balance of trade, not simply the rise or fall of exports.

I’m very pleased to announce the start of Tokyo Jazz Joints, a new photo project collaboration between myself and photographer Philip Arneill. Philip proposed the idea to go around some of the older jazz kissaten and bars to try and capture their essence visually, to preserve a record of these special places before they all close down. I had wanted to do a project like this for some time so jumped at the opportunity.
To date we have visited 15 jazz joints (many already briefly profiled here on Tokyo Jazz Site) and plan to visit at least one or two weekly going forward, with the ultimate aim of holding an exhibition and creating a book. This is an exciting new project to embark on and one that I hope will compliment what I am doing here on Tokyo Jazz Site. Please follow along at www.tokyojazzjoints.com and on Twitter at @tokyojazzjoints!

Mexico Essay, Research PaperThe Temple of the Warriors, besides known as Templo de los Guerreros, was purportedly built by the Itza civilisation between the ten percent and the 12th century in the ancient metropolis of Chichen Itza, Mexico. ( See figure 1 ) Chichen Itza is located in the Mexican Lowlandss. The Itza purportedly occupied Chichen Itza at two different times, the first being from 495 A.D.
to 692 A.D. and the 2nd being from 948 A.D. to 1204 A.D. The temple was built in the 2nd business of Chichen Itza ( Vargas, 1 ) .
Tula, the ancient capital of the Toltec & # 8217 ; s gave most of the influence in architecture to the Itza & # 8217 ; s. The Temple of the Warriors is located on the east side of the ancient metropolis near the Court of a Thousand Columns. ( See figure 2 ) The temple was chiefly used for sacrificial intents and ceremonials were conducted to delight the Gods that they worshipped. Located straight inside of the temple is another temple known as the Buried Temple. The Temple of the Warriors was built straight over the top of the preexistent 1.In 1925, the Carnegie Institute discovered the Temple of the Warriors in the ancient ruin metropolis of Chichen Itza.
Ann Axtell Morris was one of the archaeologists that took on the undertaking of unearthing the Temple of the Warriors. In her book Excavation in the Yucatan, she describes the hurting venturing procedure of conveying the edifice back to the original province. Diging in the Yucatan is fundamentally a primary beginning based off of archaeological surveies done during the clip Morris was in Chichen Itza. In her book, Morris describes the artefacts pulled from the destroyed construction, the rebuilding of the construction and the parts of the digging that she did on the Temple of the Warriors. This book was published in 1931, which means that the book was published before any more analysis could be done on the temple & # 8217 ; s letterings or hieroglyphics. Morris & # 8217 ; book allowed a first manus penetration into the digging of the temple through the eyes of an archaeologist that was on site during the flowering of the concealed hoarded wealths.In the book, Your Yucatan Guide, by Henry F. Godfrey.
The book is fundamentally a usher around the Yucatan but delves into the topic of the Temple of the Warriors. Throughout the selected pages, he describes the different artefacts and assorted facets of the temple. This book should be considered a primary beginning because it is trusting on the artefacts that are still present at the temple. It should besides be considered a secondary beginning because the accounts he gives are his ain and no mention is made to authority figures about what he is proclaiming.
Maya: The Riddle and Rediscovery of a Lost Civilization, a book by Charles Gallenkamp. Gallenkamp studied anthropology at the University of New Mexico and has been a leader of several archaeological expeditions throughout the Southwest, Mexico, and Central America. He is the manager of the Mayan Research Fund, a research associate of the Instituto Interamericano and an advisor to the Department of Anthropology of the Houston Museum of Natural History. Maya is considered a primary beginning since the writer, Gallenkamp, is an expert on the Mayan civilization and has been on many archaeological digs throughout his life-time. Since this book was published in 1959, some of his findings and readings might be a small out dated since more surveies have been done on the ruins of the Temple of the Warriors.John S. Henderson a Professor of Anthropology at Cornell University published a book, The World of the Ancient Maya, which gives a great overview of the Temple of the Warriors. His book is both a primary and secondary beginning based on archaeology and actual research.
It is a primary resource because Henderson is drawing information from the existent temple. It is besides a secondary resource because Henderson incorporates his ain analysis into points of the book.A website written by Dr. Eduardo Vargas entitled, Chichen Itza, is a primary beginning because it is based off of the temple and the ruined metropolis which is all archaeological research.
Another web site that I found entitled Temple of the Warriors, Chichen Itza, is besides a primary beginning. In this the writer, who is non disclosed, describes the edifice and some of the different facets that gives the temple a alone character.In Morris & # 8217 ; s book, Digging in the Yucatan she describes the procedure taken by the archaeologists of the Carnegie Institute. From the inadvertent discovery to the concluding handing over of the Temple of the Warriors to the Mexican Government, her book covers much item. Earl H.
Morris, the hubby to Ann Axtell Morris, discovered the Temple of the Warriors while watching over the digging of the Court of a Thousand Columns. He ventured over to a immense hill for that seemed to be attached to the Court. After chew overing about the hill a few yearss, he gave the orders to get down uncluttering it. ( See figure 3 )Within a few yearss, two columns were found and following to them were two rock rattlings snake dress suits. They instantly realized that it was portion of the Plumed Serpent because it was the symbol for the main God of Chichen Itza. & # 8220 ; His image is painted and carved upon temple walls, 100s of times reiterating goggling fanged jaws and feather-covered slimy curves & # 8221 ; ( Morris, 106 ) .
They dug to the underside of the columns and found the two snake caputs in perfect status. After many yearss of seting the dress suits back together and reconnecting them to the big columns, they had found the entryway to the top of the temple. ( See figure 4 )When the balance of the temple was cleared of the debris, they found a high request wall with a narrow door, which led into an interior room. Behind the wall Morris found an interior sanctuary, which at one clip must hold contained the Altar of Sacrifice. Not surprisingly, there was an communion table smashed to spots and pieces but through much attempt they were able to set the communion table back to together.
Nineteen small work forces supported the Atlantean communion table. ( See figure 5 )On each side of the pyramid was a series of four patios of jumping sloping and perpendicular zones. The zones were officially narrow sets, which encircled the pyramid. The sets were carved with 100s of funny figures standing about two and a half pess tall. They were lean backing human figures, panthers, bird of Joves, and some funny half bear and half prairie wolf animals, which were each keeping a human bosom in its claws.
At the terminal of the 2nd twelvemonth, in 1926 the archaeologists found a column that they expected to happen. ( Morris ) They went up the side of the pyramid and after delving seven pess down, they found a ruddy polished floor. They started delving and found the inhumed temple. The sanctuary of the inhumed temple with exclusion of painted walls and colored sculptured columns, was rather au naturel.
( Morris ) ( See figure 6 )Towards the terminal of the digging after four long exciting old ages, Earl Morris decided to seek and happen any entombments located in side the temple. The lone entombment that was found was outside the temple following to the expansive stairway, which was a cremation cavity. He was tapping around the floors of the inhumed temple when he heard a little reverberation come from the floor. He broke the floor and lifted the immense heavy rock. At the centre of the pit lay a big spherical ball of dark jade polished as glass. This was one of the Zaz-Tuns or & # 8220 ; light rocks & # 8221 ; which the old priests had used for prognostication.
( Morris ) Next to it was a piece of green apple jade carved to stand for a human face and attach toing it were two more jade beads and strings of shells. ( Morris ) Underneath was a jar, which contained a turquoise mosaic. The mosaic was nine inches in diameter and contained over three 1000 pieces of turquoise. ( See figure 7 ) From research done on the hieroglyphics it was determined the Buried Temple that was merely in usage for 15 old ages before they decided to construct the Temple of the Warriors over the top of it.In Maya: The Riddle and Rediscovery of a Lost Civilization, Gallenkamp says that the Carnegie Institute with Earl H.
Morris in charge foremost laid the temple bare in 1925. At the base of the hill were fragments of tonss of square columns that one time formed the impressive colonnade along the forepart of the terraced edifice, which contained weathered images of Itza Warriors. ( See figure 7 ) While unearthing the ruins, they found a Chac Mool, a figure of Atlantean figures, and subdivisions of immense columns sculptured in the signifier of plumy snakes which originally had been set up on either side of the temple’s room accesss.Gallenkamp negotiations about a concealed temple inlayed within the Temple of the Warriors in which they called the Buried Temple.
It contained wall paintings and four painted warrior columns. ( See figure 8 ) Earl Morris started to research several communion tables uncovered in assorted parts of the edifice in the hope of happening some kind of hoarded wealth, which turned out to be a flop. Then he probed the floor of the Buried Temple were he found a jar buried in the floor. Within the jar, laid a ball of jade and besides the ball partially covered by a white movie, was an irregular shaped plaque of jade that was carved to resemble a human face. Under all of that laid a turquoise mosaic nine inches in diameter made out of over three 1000 pieces of polished turquoise. ( Gallenkamp ) ( See figure 9 )In Henry F. Godfrey & # 8217 ; s book, Your Yucatan Guide, he describes the basic ballad out of the Temple of the Warriors.
& # 8220 ; As you ascend the stairss you come out on a wide platform. Immediately confronting you is the figure of a Chac Mool. Framing the Chac Mool are two mammoth snake columns & # 8221 ; ( Godfrey, p 72-73 ) .
( See Figure 8 ) The outside of the temple is decorated with ternary masks of Chac, the Rain God. Behind the Chac Mool is a wide communion table, held aloft by Atlantean columns, named after the Greek God that held the universe upon his shoulders. ( Godfrey ) ( See Figure 5 )From the web page, Temple of the Warriors, Chichen Itza, the writer tells us that the Temple of the Warriors is 10 metres tall and over 40 metres broad and is a good illustration of the Toltec influence on Mayan architecture. The temple is besides referred to as the Templo de los Guerreros. The valance of the upper temple was built over the top of a preexistent temple that is wholly engulfed with motives of heart-eating panthers and bird of Joves. ( Temple of the Warriors, Chichen Itza ) These images refer to the military elite to whom the platform is named after, the Temple of the Warriors. There are besides images of Kukulc? n as the Sun of the Earth. The writer negotiations of the impressive entryway guarded by the Chac-Mool.
It is believed that offerings were placed on the tummy of the reclining figure that would move as courier to the Gods. ( Temple of the Warriors, Chichen Itza )John S. Henderson, The World of the Ancient Mayas, describes the Temple of the Warriors complex as striking like Tula & # 8217 ; s Pyramid B, a Quetzalcoatl temple with next colonnaded halls. He describes a Chac Mool as being a massive figure of lean backing work forces with raised articulatio genuss and caputs, keeping a bowl like vass on their venters. ( See figure 9 ) Standard-bearers guard the top of the stairss of the temple. Runing along side of the temple are benches that over look the big ball tribunal.
( Henderson ) Henderson exclaims that no 1 is buried in the Temple of the Warriors ; the lone organic structure that was found was of a babe.Dr. Vargas describes the Temple of the Warriors as a four terraced pyramid decorated vastly with personages, bird of Joves, and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelams. The upper portion has walls of what was a ritual edifice, rectangular in form 21 metres on each side. Pillars which one time held the roof where decorated with the monster of the Earth, a priest, and the Bacab.
The pillars were absolutely located in the four central waies each with it & # 8217 ; s ain colour.The Mayan people of Chichen Itza built the Temple of the Warriors in between the ten percent and 12 century during the Early-Post Classic Era ( Vargas, 1 ) . It was built to honour the warriors of the folk, the Plumed Serpent, and Chac the rain God. Looking at the sculptures inside and outside the temple can turn out this. Many images of the Plumed Serpent, Chac and warriors are depicted on many of the columns and wall pictures around the temple.
The temple had one intent, to give persons to delight the Gods. The Chac Mool that guards the entryway of the temple was used to keep the offerings of the Gods. The Chac Mool was the courier between the people and the Gods. The sacrificed persons bosom was removed and placed in a bowl on the Chac Mool.Surrounding the temple was a series of four patios of jumping sloping and perpendicular zones.
The zones were officially narrow sets which encircled the pyramid which was carved with 100s of funny figures standing about two and a half pess tall. They consisted of a funny half bear and half coyote each that had a human bosom in its claw ( Morris ) .On the top of the temple beyond the Chac Mool and the Feathered Serpents dedicated to the Plumed Serpent lays a high-petitioned wall. Beyond the wall is where all the forfeits were done.
Through a narrow room access in the wall, the Altar of Sacrifice bases held up by 19 small-carved work forces. ( Morris ) As the room is blossoming in forepart of you, your eyes are directed towards the ruddy bleached floor ( Morris ) . The room merely 21 metres long has columns with the images of the monster of the Earth, a priest and the Bacab. These four columns base erect in the four central waies used to keep up the roof of the Inner Sanctuary ( Vargas, 2 ) .
The arrangement of the columns can be used to convey in Mireca Eliade & # 8217 ; s view on how spiritual people split the universe into two. It is split into the profane kingdom and into the sacred kingdom. The sacred is considered to be the ideal and is divided into the extraordinary, the ageless unchanging, and the religious kingdom. The sacred kingdom is fundamentally the bluish print or theoretical account of the universe around us. On the other side of the universe is the profane which is a transcript of the sacred. It is broken up into different parts such as the ordinary, the historical & # 8211 ; alteration, and the material facets of the profane universe. The lone manner for the sacred to leak into the profane is through a hierophony that is a paradox impermanent connection of the sacred and the profane.
This is a really of import portion of Eliade & # 8217 ; s thought. It is based on the four central waies that mean the Mesoamerican temple is on the zenith of all four waies. The temple of the metropolis is really the centre of the universe.The temple is set up with the four central waies around the communion table. This allows Eliade & # 8217 ; s expression to travel into affect. When an person is sacrificed, it allows the two universes to unite the upper and the lower for a brief 2nd to let the victim to go sacred.Inside the Temple of the Warriors lays another temple, the Buried temple.
This temple was merely used for 15 old ages before the swayer at the clip decided to construct the Temple of the Warriors around the preexistent 1 ( Morris ) . Inside this much smaller temple, the Carnegie Institute found a nine inch turquoise mosaic that they believe is an offering to one of the Gods. However, this raises a inquiry, why is at that place no other offerings buried in the floor like the mosaic. One account given by Morris is that the temple was looted before the roof collapsed.The Temple of the Warriors was chiefly used for sacrificial intents. Persons were placed upon the Altar of Sacrifice and given to the Gods through the act of forfeit. Eliade & # 8217 ; s formula tantrum in with the temple because inside the Inner Sanctuary, the four columns that held up the roof were in direct alliance of the four central waies. After many more old ages of research, the Temple of Warriors might slop all its secrets out to us.

Coal fired barbecue chicken wings. It’s an amazing appetizer when you can skip the deep fryer and add the smokiness that comes from the lump hardwood charcoal.
We got our company’s name from the gauchos, rough-and-tumble Argentinian cattlemen who cooked their meat on makeshift grills. And while we weren’t on hand for those long-ago Latin barbecue celebrations, we’d say it’s a safe bet the gauchos didn’t head out to Home Depot to buy charcoal. They cooked over wood.
They had the right idea. Wood smoke gives your food an amazing flavor, but it’s also something of a challenge, writes Oliver Schwaner-Albright in The New York Times.
“Grilling over a wood fire is as much a sport as an art — it’s more instinctive than cooking with a gas grill, more nuanced than cooking with charcoal, and more athletic than both.”
If you think this is something you’re ready to tackle, here are some rules to follow for your next Latin barbecue:
Regardless of whether you’ve ever visited Argentina, there’s a good chance you’re nevertheless aware of just how significant a role the consumption of meat plays in the country’s culinary culture. What you may not be familiar with, however, is the enormous popularity of a particularly Argentine style of barbecuing.
Known as an asado, it’s an hours-long outdoor cookout that isn’t entirely unlike an American barbecue experience. Still, there are several significant differences, not the least of which is the food and drink itself. At an asado meal, you can expect to enjoy high-quality cuts of meat ranging from sirloin and flank steaks to a succulent rack of ribs. Sausage, chicken, and even carefully prepared appetizers known as achuras may also make an appearance.
Another significant difference between the American-style barbecues you and I are used to and an asado cookout is the beverage of choice. Cans of beer and pitchers of sweet iced tea aren’t generally a part of an Argentine barbecue. Instead, you can expect to encounter red wine—and lots of it—in varying degrees of quality.
If you’d like to host a genuine asado meal of your own, keep reading to learn which wines you’ll want to pair with which meats.
Over the past few months, we’ve been using this blog to teach readers their way around the world of Argentinian grilling. And now that you can walk the walk, we want you to be able to talk the talk, so to speak. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to Argentinean grilling terminology. The next time you host a cookout, you can impress your guests with your food and your lingo.
When we think of Argentine cuisine, we think of beef. The Spanish brought cattle to Argentina in the 1500s, and beef has been a key part of the national cuisine ever since.
But just as important to this equation is the asado.
We’d call it “the Argentine version of the cookout,” but that only sort of does it justice.
It’s actually a practice that goes deep into the country’s history, men known as gauchos—legendary cattle wrangling figures – cooked their meals on makeshift grills which were the original parrilla grills.
“Asado” is a term used in Argentina and other South American countries that means “barbecue,” but it doesn’t quite describe the way you do your standard outdoor grilling.
This is meat cooked over coals or wood embers, a system developed by Argentinian gauchos who needed to grill their food out on the grasslands.
It’s not a cooking method for everyone, but if you think you’re ready to tackle it, here are a few Argentine style grilling tips from Manuel Debandi, chef at the Terrazas de Los Andes winery
What do machine design, precision machining, outdoor grilling, and love of all types of food have in common? They are all the passions of one entrepreneur, who decided to encapsulate all his interests into a new business.
Gaucho Grills is the culmination of the hobbies, interests and experiences of Edward Pentz, an Argentinean born mechanical engineer, who immigrated to the United States 47 years ago and started his own precision CNC machining business. Founded in 1986, Ed’s company, EMP Industries Inc., has been providing machine design and prototype services, CNC machining, fabrication, and assembly services to the semiconductor, electronics, medical, and consumer products industry for over 27 years.

The Zambian Government (Government) has proposed to entrench the Subcontracting Policy of 2015 (Policy) into the country’s procurement laws.
This is a part of wider reforms to the procurement laws as specified by the Public Procurement Bill of 2020 (Bill) tabled before Parliament, and currently at third reading stage.
Under the Bill, foreign bidders will be required to subcontract a percentage of the total value of all procurement of goods, works and services exceeding the prescribed thresholds, to citizen bidders and suppliers.
The exact percentage to be subcontracted is expected to be prescribed by the Minister responsible for Finance in consultation with the Zambia Public Procurement Authority.
The Bill also proposes to extend the requirement for a defined subcontracting percentage to all sectors. (The existing Policy is limited to the construction sector.)
The procurement law reforms are a culmination of various policy statements and strategies Government has previously issued and undertaken to empower local companies. These have included deliberate policies to ensure local companies create jobs for Zambian citizens and enhance local contracting capacity, and upgrade Zambian citizen-owned companies and firms, which previously have not had the desired outcome.
For instance, Government through the Road Development Agency (a statutory body that provides for the care, maintenance and construction of public roads in Zambia), adopted a sub-contracting policy that requires that 20% of the value of contracts awarded to foreign contractors be subcontracted to Zambian citizen-owned companies.
A citizen-owned company refers to a company where at least 50.1% of its equity is owned by citizens and in which citizens have significant control of the management.
This Policy is only applicable to civil and road works exceeding ZMW 30 million (approximately USD 1.5 million). Contracts below this threshold have been reserved for Zambian citizen-owned or influenced companies in line with the Citizen Economic Empowerment (Preferential Procurement) Regulations of 2011.
Further, despite the Policy being in place since 2012, and notwithstanding the 2015 revision, no formal laws have been enacted to spur its implementation. Therefore, its enforceability has been challenged and, for the most part, contraventions treated as contractual breaches.
In the few instances where there has been adherence, it has been largely by foreign contractors out of goodwill and/or dedicated public officials monitoring contractors to ensure adherence. Even then, some contractors reduce the sub-contracting rates or simply give non-technical and non-profitable parts of projects to sub-contractors.
We anticipate that the Bill, which goes further to provide for methods of sub-contracting and implementation, will provide clarity on the operation and implementation of the Policy in Zambia in a manner similar to black economic empowerment policies in South Africa. It will also empower citizen-owned companies.

BY JEFF HORSEMAN
Assembly candidate and Moreno Valley councilman Bill Batey admits he’s disappointed with how few jobs have been created at the Skechers warehouse in Moreno Valley.
“That leaves kind of a bad taste in your mouth,” Batey said during a Tuesday, Aug. 21, meeting at The Press-Enterprise.
He said as many as 2,500 jobs were predicted when the 1.8 million-square-foot facility opened last year. Instead, there was a net loss of 400 jobs in Inland Southern California after five distribution centers in Ontario were consolidated into Moreno Valley.
Also, Moreno Valley officials conceded that many working in the new warehouse came from Ontario, resulting in few if any jobs for local residents.
A Republican running against Democrat Jose Medina, Batey, a Riverside city firefighter, mentions Skechers on his campaign website.
“As a commissioner on the March Joint Powers Authority, we have been able to create more than 5,000 jobs with projects like the new Skechers distribution center and the Meridian Business Center,” the website read. “These are examples of pro-job initiatives that government and business leaders can work together to develop.”
Batey said he now scrutinizes job-creation figures from Moreno Valley businesses more closely. He added he also wants to see an emphasis in Moreno Valley on a “health corridor” of medical facilities offering health care jobs.
“The logistics is going to come,” Batey said. But the health care jobs would be better quality, he added.

AB Environment and Parks Rangeland initiatives
On Friday Aug 6, 2021 the Government of Alberta announced initiatives to support the livestock sector. $136 million is being made available by the province for their portion of the Agri-Recovery program, to be matched by the federal government once approved. Money received from the program can be used to purchase feed, water and fencing. Details on the funding announced can be found on the Alberta.ca media release.
In the meantime Alberta Environment and Parks department staff have been instructed to work with producers to allow access to unused public grazing, water, and potential hayland. Producers who were unable to fill their lease dispositions will be permitted to sub lease those lands to neighbors. Producers with unused dispositions or interested in accessing public land for water, grazing or hay are encouraged to call the Ag-Info Centre at 301-FARM and ask to be connected to their local Environment and Parks Agrologist. Anyone aware of public land that could be used for emergency feed or water is encouraged to call and bring it to the attention of the AEP Agrologists.
Below is the announcement of the “Rangeland Initiatives” from last weeks announcement:
“Alberta Environment and Parks will now accept applications from existing grazing disposition holders, including leases, licences and permits, with additional grazing capacity to allow livestock from other producers who are in need of additional feed. Grazing disposition holders are encouraged to work with their neighbours and community to support each other where they can. Applications for temporary grazing or haying are also available on vacant public lands. Alberta Environment and Parks will also permit grazers in the forest reserve to extend the time for grazing where there is sufficient forage to do so.
Minister Nixon has signed off on the creation of a new temporary streamlined program to allow the quick provision of water to livestock and poultry producers in drought areas.
Environment and Parks agrologists are available to meet with producers and to help provide more region-specific information about available support and best management practices, including how they can access potential water and feed sources.
Livestock producers interested in looking at these measures are encouraged to reach out to their local agrologist. Producers can call 310-FARM (3276) to be connected with a local agrologist and discuss options to support them during these tough drought conditions.”
In addition to the Rangeland Initiatives, Minister Nixon stated in his meeting with the Committee on Aug 10, 2021 that he has directed department staff to reach out to conservation partners to encourage them to follow suit and make conservation lands available for emergency use for hay, grazing or water.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been an absolutely huge part of Nintendo's software and hardware success in 2023, and this trend continued in the month of August in the US.
As highlighted by Circana (via video game industry analyst Mat Piscatella), Tears of the Kingdom actually moved up a spot in the "top 20 best-selling premium games" for August 2023, going from seventh to sixth place.
Madden NFL 24 debuted in the top spot, with FromSoftare's new Armored Core game just below this and Remnant II in third place. Apart from Zelda, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe also managed to crack the top 10 in the charts, and Pikmin 4 dropped from sixth to 11th place in August.
It's worth noting the digital sales of the Nintendo titles are not factored in, so they could be a lot more popular than this chart suggests. As we get closer to the holiday period, Tears of the Kingdom is likely to continue to sell incredibly well in the US.
As for hardware, sales fell by 13% year over year to $328 million and the Switch had a bit of a slump itself during August:
Mat Piscatella: "Video game hardware spending fell 13% when compared to a year ago, to $328 million. PlayStation 5 dollar sales fell by a single-digit percentage in the month when compared to a year ago, while both Switch and Xbox Series declined by a double-digit percentage...PlayStation 5 was the best-selling hardware platform in both unit and dollar sales during August 2023, with Xbox Series ranking 2nd across both measures."

Taylor Swift is currently embroiled in a major celebrity feud with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West over Kanye's song "Famous." Though the battle has been ongoing since the song dropped in February of this year, it had come to a standstill until Sunday night when Kim posted Snapchat videos of Taylor allegedly agreeing to a controversial lyric in the song before it was released. In return, Taylor released a statement on Instagram, written on her Notes app. In the statement, she accuses Kim and Kanye of "character assassination" and of "secretly" recording her phone call.
It's not a shocking concept to issue the statement via Notes in 2016 — several celebrities have picked the "relatable" and personal method as opposed to a seemingly perfected press release from a PR rep. (Taylor especially has mentioned her fondness of her Notes app, using it as a place to store song lyrics and music ideas.)
But soon after Taylor's post hit Instagram, fans and media, including Buzzfeed and New York Magazine, started to notice something odd about the format — mainly the "Search" option in the top left corner. Because, when creating a new note, the top left corner typically says "Notes" or "Back," not "Search," as it does on Taylor's screenshot.
Twitter assumed this meant Taylor wrote this statement months ago — either when the song originally dropped or a few weeks ago when a GQ interview with Kim was published, in which Kim admitted to recordings of the phone call.
There's no way to tell, but Taylor may have had to search through her Notes on Sunday night after the videos were released in order to find the statement. (This could also explain why Taylor expertly cropped the date and time from her Instagram post.)
Even more incriminating evidence that Taylor's note wasn't a spontaneous reaction to the drama: There is faint text reading "because it doesn't exist" lingering behind the "search" bar, which NY Mag first reported on. (Seen in the blown-up version, below.)
We added contrast to this image, below, to show the words more clearly.
This only happens when someone has scrolled down in the Notes section — the app fades away text that is higher up. This means that the line "because it doesn't exist" ("it," being the video footage) was something Taylor had written and debated on (perhaps with the aid of her team) before finalizing the version she posted.
Fans are already coming to her defense, explaining that the seasoned songwriter likely wanted to think about how she phrased her response before going live with the story. As of now, the statement might be doing less good than Taylor hoped.

San Diego County Republican strongholds are decreasing as Independents surge, San Diego Registrar of Voters said.
Republican registration is now at its lowest level since 2000. According to data analyzed by NBC 7 Investigates, the percentage of voters who registered as Republicans has dropped by 9 percent since 2008, from 36 percent of total voters to 27 percent.
And while the number of registered Republicans has dipped significantly, the number of voters who are registered as Independents has risen nearly as much, indicating that many Republican voters are identifying as Independents.
According to county Registrar of Voters, 350,808 voters registered as Independents in 2008. Last month, that number was recorded at 539,496 voters.
Tony Krvaric serves as Chair for the San Diego Republican Party. Krvaric has seen the numbers and says the party plans a major push in coming months to get those voters who no longer identify as Republican back on the voter rolls.
“Republicans are leaving. San Diego, and the state, is hemorrhaging conservatives because this is not a conservative place. You can’t have a straw, you can’t own guns, taxes on car registration that are out of control, there’s no mistake that we are hemorrhaging people. But for those of us here, we are here and we need to fight.”
Added Krvaric, “If you’re a Trump supporter this is the time to change back to Republican.”
And while Krvaric has seen the number of registered Republicans fall, the same cannot be said for registered Democrats. According to the county Registrar of Voters, 653,493 people are registered as Democrats, up from 547,856 in 2008. However, when factoring in new voters, the percentage of Democrats remained at 36 percent of all registered voters, the same level it was in 2008.
Certain Republican strongholds, however, remain. That can be seen in the 50th District. Despite the criminal prosecution of Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter for misusing campaign funds, the Republican Party appears to have numbers on their side.
Registered Democratic voters fell from 31 percent in 2008 to 27 percent in 2019. Republicans saw only a slight decrease to 39 percent of total registered voters, down from the height of 45 percent in 2012. And as the number of Independents county-wide has increased, the 50th District saw only a marginal increase from 24 percent in 2008 to 27 percent in 2019.
The trend is seen throughout all 19 municipalities in the county as well. Each city has seen a drop in the number of registered Republicans and a rise in Independent voters. The largest change occurred in East County cities such as Santee, La Mesa, as well as northeastern San Diego County conservative stronghold of Escondido.
In November, 2016 eight cities in the county had more registered Republican voters than Democrats. According to the latest registration numbers the GOP has lost four of those cities. Including, El Cajon, Escondido, Oceanside, and San Marcos.
Political analyst, Laura Fink, says it’s not just a trend in San Diego County, but statewide. “The increase in new voters registering with no party preference continues a longstanding trend,” said Fink.
“With a smaller share of voters choosing the Republican party than ever before, and Democratic registrants holding steady, it's clear that San Diego County Republicans have lost the most ground, which runs parallel to the party's decline in influence across the state.”

Business financial make money capital trading
One of CNN’s regular political panel mentioned after Tuesday’s three-hour, 12-candidate Democratic presidential debate that all the candidates are getting better. Forgive me for not remembering who said that. This was several hours into switching back and forth between the debate and the Montreal Canadiens vs. Tampa Bay Lightning. It may have been Steven Stamkos.
Whoever it was, he’s almost certainly right. But they’d better all be getting better. Most have been running for the greater part of a year. Businessman Andrew Yang — campaign theme: MATH (Make America Think Harder) — announced on Feb. 2, 2018. In the admittedly remote chance he makes it all the way to election day, Nov. 3, 2020, he will have been running for 1,005 days, almost as long as the entire Kennedy administration. He has been at it 20 months already.
A long audition is a very useful gauntlet
If you spend a good part of every day answering questions about why you want to be president, what you want to do as president and what you think about any of a thousand things — “Name a friend you have that people would be surprised to hear about” was the final question Tuesday night — then if you don’t get better at it, you’d better get out, as several underperforming Democrats have already done. In another series of questions, the septuagenarian candidates, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, just back from a heart attack, were asked whether they had the stamina to be president. None gave the obvious answer, which is: Just watch me! If I can make it through the campaign, I can handle the presidency.
You don’t actually order troops around or send off squadrons of drones as a presidential candidate but you’ve got to put together a multimillion-dollar organization capable of quick thinking and instant response and, though you’re running for chief executive, not chief legislator, you’ve got to present a plausible policy platform. It’s a gruelling marathon (unlike all those non-gruelling marathons). But it does weed people out. Sen. Kamala Harris, a one-time media favourite, may be in the process of weeding herself out with her suggestion that Twitter should close Donald Trump’s account on the grounds he has been intimidating potential impeachment witnesses, which is a crime. Even her CNN questioners seemed doubtful. Not all voters are looking for judgment, of course — otherwise Trump would not be president — but for those who are, a long audition is a very useful gauntlet.

For her part, Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s free ride on whether going to Canada-style single-payer medicare would cause Canada-style high middle-class taxes appears to be over. She says she doesn’t want to say because the Republicans would use her answer against her in the general election. But that’s a curious way to do bold social policy. You don’t talk about its true costs now because you don’t want to talk about them during the general election, either. It’s almost Trumpian in its gall. (Recall that Trump is the candidate who in 2016 criticized Mitt Romney for not releasing his tax returns early enough in the 2012 campaign to get the inevitable bad public reaction behind him but then didn’t release his own tax returns at all, presumably because they were so bad he could never do it early enough.)
As our own election campaign winds down almost all commentators are saying what a relief it is that it’s over and how dreary it has been
As our own election campaign winds down almost all commentators are saying what a relief it is that it’s over and how dreary it has been. It did start badly, with daily character assassination attempts, especially by the Liberals, based on unwise things other parties’ candidates had said on social media — which should cause all sensible people to wonder if they really, really need to be on social media. That onslaught stopped when the blackface photos came out. (For a terrific discussion of what we should and shouldn’t learn from them, see Peter Shawn Taylor’s new article in C2C Journal.) After that there has been lots of focus on both policy and the horse race. Unfortunately, the focus on policy is also largely a horse race: which party has the most generous offerings for which interest groups?
In terms of policy debate, Canadians who speak one language and didn’t want to listen to translators — who would? — had just two hours of exposure to six party leaders, which boils down to 20 minutes per leader, minus talking by moderators. The leaders of the three major parties each spoke between 3,800 and 4,000 words, which is the length of just five newspaper columns like this one. Not very much on which to base a decision whether to entrust the nation’s governance to a person.
The last thing we need is more electoral law. But if parties had to introduce their full platform in the campaign’s first week and then defend it in a series of debates over the following three weeks, Canadians could develop the kind of familiarity with the issues and candidates that many U.S. Democrats are gradually gaining.

A Fresno County woman died Tuesday when her car rolled over while traveling on Interstate 8 in San Diego's East County.
California Highway Patrol officers responded to the section of highway near Boulevard at approximately 11 p.m.
The region was under a winter storm warning and there was significant snow on the roadways.
The victim, identified by CHP investigators as a 31-year-old Huron resident, lost control and veered off the road on the north side.
Her vehicle, a Honda sedan, overturned on the embankment.
The driver was partially ejected from the car and died at the scene. CHP investigators say she was not wearing a seatbelt properly at the time of the crash.
The victim was not identified pending notification of next of kin.
CHP investigators are looking into what caused the collision but they say at this time, drugs or alcohol are not suspected to be a factor in the crash.

Abstract : 1C.19
Climatology of the Bora lee-side area
University of Ljubljana, Department of Physics, Chair of meteorology
Classical description of Bora suppose the warm air mass in the lee side of the mountain ridge. Also two of the contemporary explanations of this phenomenon imply the same feature: the hydraulic jump with a free surface, and the resonant vertically propagating gravity waves with a discontinuity in temperature and stability. The dependence of the Bora strength, duration etc. on the advection of warm air mass into the Adriatic basin will be discussed .climatologically.

Laura Whitmore is officially on her way to South Africa which can only mean one thing - Love Island is about to begin! The presenter recently shared a picture of herself posing next to her white and pink personalised Love Island suitcase alongside the caption: "Last minute packing....all the essentials...Cape Town here I come!"
While many of us may spend weeks preparing our holiday outfits (especially if they were going to be documented forever on TV!) the star left it very late to gather her essentials. However, her long-term stylist Angie Smith - who will be working with Laura on her Love Island wardrobe - revealed she's more prepared than we may think. Posting a throwback picture of Laura from 2013, she wrote: "The first round of fittings are done and filming starts soon so here's a throw back to when we first started working together at the @glamouruk awards." In the picture, the 34-year-old looks stunning in a white floral mini dress which Angie revealed was from Carven, as well as Sophia Webster shoes and a retro white speech bubble-shaped bag emblazoned with the words "smooch talk."
PHOTOS: See inside Love Island couple Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling's London home
If fittings are already done, then her pretty summer wardrobe is almost ready to be revealed. We're expecting statement mini dresses, fabulous florals and some unexpected show-stoppers, just like previous presenter Caroline Flack has served up over the past few years. Plus, Angie is the mastermind behind Holly Willoughby's stunning outfits, from her peach feathered Dancing on Ice gown from Joao Rolo Couture to her red Whistles mini dress on This Morning, so it's set to be an exciting few weeks of fashion.
The blonde beauty got her Instagram fans excited for the upcoming series by posting updates of her journey to Cape Town. On Instagram stories, she joined some of the show's glam squad, including makeup artist Tori Ball and stylist Emma Lane, for drinks at Heathrow airport before boarding the flight. To protect her skin from the dehydration that often comes with a long plane journey, Laura rocked a sheet mask as she listened to music and reclined in her seat. With outfits and skincare prepped, she's ready to strut her stuff on the reality show.

- New York: Subways, New Jersey Transit, Metro-North, and Long Island Rail Road are returning to normal (mostly) on Monday. City schools will be open. See the services tracker for more details.
- Washington: Schools and federal offices closed. Limited Metro service returning Monday.
- Also: Coastal flooding in New Jersey, with some schools closed. Transit returning in Philadelphia, not in Baltimore. High snowfall: 42 inches in Glengary, W.Va. At least 29 weather-related deaths.
The National Weather Service has raised some of its snowfall prediction totals as the storm threatens to drop snow for more than 24 hours on some places.
In a long diagonal swath that includes Washington, Baltimore and parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia, 24 to 30 inches is expected.
In Philadelphia, parts of southern and central New Jersey and much of Delaware, 18 to 24 inches is expected.
Twelve to 18 inches is expected in New York City and much of the surrounding area.
By 5 p.m., 16 inches had fallen in parts of eastern Kentucky.
(These numbers may be more current than the New York Times interactive map on this live blog, which is updated periodically, not in real time.)
Paul Kocin of the weather service’s College Park, Md., office said that in places like Washington, the sheer length of the storm would make it historic.
“It’s a long-duration event — for Washington, that’s kind of a big deal,” he said. “The longer these storms last, the more their impacts last as well. Sometimes you get a big storm that lasts for 12 hours, and that’s it. This one will last for, like, 30 hours, so its impact will be pretty widespread.”
Although New York’s governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, said on Friday that he was even more concerned about flooding than snow, Mr. Kocin said that the service did not foresee flooding of “Sandy-like” proportions.
‘’Coastal flooding could be significant, but not Sandy-like,” he said, “from Long Island southward to the Virginia coast.”

What a giddy feeling, although giddy and 62 seems an odd pairing, to finish a huge undertaking. After a dozen years, countless classes and rewrites I am finally finished with my part of a colossal writing project-a book entitled "The Investigation of Your Reality". My co -authors Diane Iverson and Phyllis Ring need to check ref. and do editing work and whatever changes they seem fit. I hope the book is universal and accessible to people of all Faiths although it is definitely based on the Baha'i Writings. I can already feel the creative machinery being retooled as I switch over to finishing my sequel to "Lilly&Peggy" which was pub. over ten years ago. It will be a chapter book as I am already over a hundred pages. I also have others to finish that I want to put directly on audio tapes. Making high quality cds is so easy with the software available and a smart friend to do the work. Phyllis and I are going to do a class on the book Feb. 19-21. This may not be on the Green Acre web site as we were just asked and we just accepted.


Cabled and contactless acoustic-wave sensors and microsystems for measurement of chemical and phy...
In the field of the biological/biomedical research the possibility to adopt sensorized systems for monitoring
chemical/physical properties of biological cultures has recently gained interest. In this context the proposed
activity aims to contribute with the design, development and characterization of tailored acoustic-wave
sensors. Acoustic-wave sensors are characterized by adequate sensitivity and signal-to noise ratio for
biological/biomedical applications. In addition they allow for the development of unobtrusive systems by
means of device miniaturization and the adoption of contactless interrogation techniques.
The activity of the collaborator will be specifically dedicated to the development of acoustic-wave transducers
based on piezoelectric substrates and using both traditional approaches and microsystem technologies.

Audi Q2 has always been the model which Audi had developed, more to fill up a void in the market segment rather than produce a unique product with outstanding credentials. Actually speaking, the Audi Q2 is a pretty decent looking, little, premium SUV which suits the best for the role of an Urban SUV. It is also much better looking in the flesh, well made, practical and in fact a nice little one to drive around.
Now, Audi UK has decided that what its baby SUV needs is a dose of more power and an all wheel drive system. With that in mind, the German auto manufacturer is expanding the Q2 Quattro range with the addition of the 2.0-liter TFSI engine option, which can now be ordered from the manufacturer.
Producing 187hp (190PS), the new 2.0-liter TFSI is the most powerful engine you can get with the Audi Q2. Combined with the trademark Quattro all-wheel drive and the standard S-Tronic dual-clutch gearbox,the most powerful Audi Q2 can make for a compelling drive with the new version of the Audi Q2 can accelerate from zero to 62mph (100km/h) in 6.5 seconds. The top speed has been electronically limited to at 141 mph.
The seven-speed S-Tronic gearbox also features a coasting function when the driver selects the “efficiency” mode, while the stop-start function can shut off the engine when speed drops to 4.3mph.
The 190PS quattro Q2 is now available in two different trim levels; A S Line or the Q2 Edition No.1. The Edition No.1 comes with 19 inch alloys, Quantum Grey paint, black styling pack, Manhattan Grey for the contrast bumpers, wheel arch trims, side skirts and bumper inserts, Nappa Sports seats with brown contrast stripes and stitching and LED interior lighting. The S Line version gets 18 inch alloys, LED headlights, Front Sports Seats, MMI Navigation, Audi Connect Infotainment and auto lights and wipers.
The Audi Q2 quattro 190PS is now on sale in UK with prices from £31,760 to £36,750.

When it involves game-day pandemic protocols, the NFL can (and must silent) hang motion when the foundations are broken. When it involves off-web boom online violations, the teams non-public the flexibility to hang motion.
The principle valuable incident along these lines has came about in Las Vegas. Raiders proprietor Model Davis doesn’t worship the reality that a pair of avid gamers attended an event in apparent violation of the agreed NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocols. The quiz now turns into whether Davis will impose self-discipline on the avid gamers who violated the foundations.
The NFL’s unbiased on the scenario appears clear: It’s as a lot as the group to address instances worship this, by potential of fines or suspensions for conduct detrimental to the group. Even supposing person teams can even be disciplined by the league for failing to self-discipline sure non-avid gamers who damage the foundations relating to off-web boom online conduct, the protocols dangle no identical energy to punish teams that hang no longer to punish avid gamers for doing things they shouldn’t build when no longer at work.
So it’s as a lot as the Raiders to hang whether to punish the many avid gamers (including quarterback Derek Carr) for “[a]ttending an event that is prohibited by screech and/or local legislation, government uncover or legislation implemented as a consequence of Covid-19.”
It used to be believed/feared that younger avid gamers on the underside of the depth chart equipped the finest chance for off-responsibility conduct that can presumably perhaps violate the foundations. With the beginning quarterback amongst folks that violated the foundations in Las Vegas, will the Raiders whack all of them equally? Will some (worship Carr) fetch a pass? Or will, within the pursuits of consistency, the Raiders simply give all of them a warning, so that they don’t want to punish Carr?
No matter the choice, it’s a corrupt come proper by map of the Raiders, and for Carr. As the beginning quarterback, he must silent non-public diagnosed better than to construct anything else rather then gallop straight dwelling and preserve there on a Monday evening (or any evening).
It’s furthermore a unhappy reflection, frankly, on coach Jon Gruden. No matter he’s performed to galvanize upon Carr and the opposite avid gamers the importance of complying with the off-responsibility principles, Gruden didn’t build passable. In any other case, what came about on Monday evening wouldn’t non-public came about the least bit.
Given Gruden’s $100,000 ravishing for failing to construct on a conceal, the investigation into whether the group allowed an unauthorized person into the locker room after a Week Two ranking over Recent Orleans, and this most most modern indiscretion, it’s tough no longer to marvel if Gruden’s refined discuss about beating COVID-19 used to be correct that — discuss — without a burning desire to construct all the pieces the principle to withhold all members of the group from catching the virus.
