The Death of Conservatism
Sam Tanenhaus. Tantor Media, $19.99 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-4001-1365-1
Tanenhaus' capsule history of American conservatism begins with a nostalgic review of the movement's intellectual forefathers-Edmund Burke to William F. Buckley-and culminates in an analysis of its run off the rails during the George W. Bush administration, when the ideas-driven conservatism of the postwar era was obliterated by a generation of ideological lockstep and inept governance. Alan Sklar's capable and smooth reading gets the material across but is marked by the occasional jarring misnomer (it is William F., not William E., Buckley). Nevertheless, he ably renders dry political battles of the past as high intellectual drama. A Random hardcover (Reviews, Jul. 6).

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is only investigating 37 cases out of the more than 4,000 killings in the administration’s ongoing drug war.
This was revealed on Thursday, August 17, during a Senate finance committee hearing on the proposed P17.3-billion budget of the Department of Justice (DOJ) for 2018.
This information was only given after the continuous questioning of Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon during the hearing.
Drilon asked about the status of Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II’s Department Order 120 which ordered the NBI to investigate alleged extrajudicial killings. Aguirre was evasive on the issue.
“No data as to report or as to data generated by the NBI on killings related to the campaign against illegal drugs, as you directed in your [order]?” Drilon asked Aguirre.
Drilon criticized Aguirre and said there was an apparent attempt to “hide” things from the public.
“There appears something is being hidden; being kept. This is an issue which cannot be denied is an issue. All we’re asking for is data arising from your own issuances. Apparently no one can give this committee any data on this matter – notwithstanding the fact it has been a year since this campaign started,” Drilon said.
“We don’t even know how many cases have been reported under this Department Order No 120 and this is only for, since its issuance in February 2017 and does not cover even the past incidences,” he added.
Aguirre told the committee the DOJ needed to “collate” the data first and would submit the information in 10 days. But when Drilon threatened to hold in abeyance the budget of the agency, Aguirre said they could provide the requested information in 20 minutes.
Aguirre also said that in July 2017, he issued a directive asking all agencies under the DOJ to submit an inventory of cases on drug-related killings but he had yet to received any submission.
To this, Drilon, a former justice secretary, said: “That’s a sad commentary. The directive of the Secretary is being ignored.”
Poor performance, culture of impunity
During the hearing, Justice Undersecretary Reynante Arceo said that as of May 30, 2017, the DOJ listed 3,050 deaths from legitimate drug-related police operations. Aguirre meanwhile said the Philippine National Police estimated “over a thousand” were killed by vigilante groups.
“Based on data of the newly created Inter-Agency Council Against Drugs by the President, as of May 30, 2017, [the number of] drug personalities who died in the anti-drug war is about 3,050,” Arceo said.
Out of the more than 4,000 deaths, NBI Director Dante Gierran said they were investigating 37 cases – 7 from Metro Manila and 30 from other parts of the country.
Of this 37, 3 cases were already recommended for prosecution while 3 were “recommended for closure.”
“With respect to this estimate, it is only related to the investigation conducted by the NBI. We do not refer to the investigations being conducted by the other law enforcement agencies such as the PNP,” Gierran said.
The low number disturbed Drilon. He said the poor performance of the DOJ was “part of the culture of impunity.”
“You call that performance? Of the over 4,000 cases related to drugs, exactly 37 being investigated and of the 37, 24 pending, 3 have been recommended for prosecution. Dismal. Well, it’s a part of the culture of impunity,” Drilon told reporters after the hearing.
Aguirre, for his part, defended his agency and said the NBI is slow because it was not originally mandated to investigate the killings. The NBI, he said, started looking into the deaths only after receiving Department Order 120 in February 2017.
“Investigating deaths or drug-related killings is not one of them. And under the law, I could add functions to the NBI, so I added in February 2017. Meaning to say, before that date walang obligation ang NBI (the NBI is under no obligation) to investigate these killings,” Aguirre told reporters.
Aguirre added that Drilon himself was the author of the NBI Modernization Law which specified the cases the bureau was obliged to investigate.
He also said there was no attempt to conceal details from the public.
“I told them that there’s no truth to that. Ba’t naman itatago namin (Why would we hide it)? The President is very transparent on this,” Aguirre said.
Drilon has asked the committee to hold the DOJ’s budget in abeyance until it gives complete answers. The next hearing is set on Thursday, August 31.
In a statement, detained Senator Leila de Lima said, “The admission of the DOJ/NBI in today’s hearing only proves the truth of the criminal charge of non-prosecution of offenses I filed against Aguirre with the Ombudsman. Aguirre must be prosecuted accordingly.”
She described Aguirre’s admission as the “glaring truth…which validated what some sectors, including myself, have been pointing out: no serious and prompt investigation of extrajudicial killings related to the drug war is being conducted by our relevant agencies.” – Rappler.com

This beautiful drawing of Winona, Minnesota was created in 1874 by Charles Shober, a prominent 19th century illustrator. The image shows a bird’s eye view of Winona as it looked approximately 20 years after it was founded.
The city of Winona began on the site of a Native American village named Keoxa. Fur traders from New England were the first Non-Native Americans to settle the area in 1851, and they divided the town into lots in 1852 and 1853.
Landmarks on the map include Winona Brewery, Allen’s Flour Mills, Sugar Loaf Brewery, Boynton’s Candy Factory, Philharmonic Hall, Keokuk & Northern Line Steamer, Lake Winona, Winona Cracker Factory, Diamond Joe Warehouse, Phoenix Iron Works, Vangorder’s Ferry, and more.
This historic map of Winona, MN has been restored by KNOWOL. Reproductions of the map are available here.
“In the days of the great chief Wapashaw there lived at the village of Keoxa, which stood at the site of the town which now bears her name, a maiden with a loving soul. She was the first-born daughter, and, as is always the case in a Dahkotah family, she bore the name of Weenonah.
A young hunter of the same band was never happier than when he played the flute in her hearing. Having thus signified his affection, it was with the whole heart reciprocated.
The youth begged from his friends all that he could, and went to her parents, as is the custom, to purchase her for his wife, but his proposals were rejected.
A warrior who had often been on the war-path, whose head-dress plainly told the number of scalps he had wrenced from Ojibway heads, had also been to the parents, and they thought that she would be more honored as an inmate of his teepee.
Weenonah, however, could not forget her first love, and though he had been forced away, his absence strengthened her affections.
Neither the attentions of the warrior, nor the threats of parents, nor the persuasion of friends could make her consent to marry simply for position.
One day the band came to Lake Pepin to fish or hunt. The dark green foliage, the velvet sward, the beautiful expanse of water, the shady nooks, made it a place to utter the breathings of love.
The warrior sought her once more and begged her to accede to her parent’s wish and become his wife, but she refused with decision.
While the party was feasting Weenonah clambered to the lofty bluff, and then told to those who were below how crushed she had been by the absence of the young hunter and the cruelty of her friends.
Then chanting a wild death-song, before the fleetest runner could reach the height she dashed herself down, and that form of beauty was in a moment a mass of broken limbs and bruised flesh.
The Dahkoath as he passes the rock feels that the spot is Wawkawn – mysterious or supernatural.”

Retailers hope for late spree as sales slide
Shoppers began their Christmas stampede this weekend leaving retailers with a nervous run-in during a crucial trading period.
Stores had hoped that a late surge would make up for a dreadful autumn, but figures released last night revealed the scale of the deficit they were hoping to make up for. Shopper numbers fell 4.7 per cent in the week to last Wednesday, compared with last year. Visits to shopping centres were even worse, suffering a 6.3 per cent decline, according to data from Springboard, the research group. A spokeswoman for the British Retail Consortium said: “This is a good indication of just how crucial this week will be.”
Analysts have described this Christmas as the most important faced by the high street in decades. An

Inspired and driven by the future of electronic music, its story-telling potential and ability to convey powerful emotions, IMANU is the brainchild of Rotterdam-based Jonathan Kievit. At the forefront of a new generation of producers, he rejects stuffy genre boundaries, rigid tempo expectations and DJ-friendly format formalities and just wants to create genuine emotional electronic music. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Established late 2019, the IMANU project follows an already impressive chapter in drum & bass. Breaking through at the age of just 16 with a highly distinctive and technical brutalist style, he made a remarkable impression in a very short space of time. However, this was only a hint at what was to come. Now in his early 20s, IMANU has already been responsible for releases on significant labels such as VISION, Heaven Sent, UKF and mau5trap, he’s remixed the likes of Apashe, TOKiMONSTA and What So Not & Skrillex and already collaborated with fellow kindred, unclassifiable spirits like Sleepnet, Mefjus and Buunshin. Many more are expected to drop in due course.
Each release joining more dots and weaving an indelible, emotional thread between every genre you can throw a pigeonhole at, IMANU is the culmination of everything that inspires Jonathan. Everything he’s achieved so far, everything he’s learnt and everything that moves him… But flipped in a much more personal and open-armed creative way that focuses purely on the future and where this music can be taken next…


By Kahini Iyer Nov. 13, 2018
The Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone romance, captured in heartfelt confessions, mushy Instagram comments, and photos so sweet that they make singletons burst into tears, feels strikingly genuine in an industry where, dating is often used as a PR strategy.
Now that Diwali is behind us, the shaadi season can officially be declared open. It’s time to pick out the wedding gifts, alter the sherwani to accommodate your new festive paunch, book your salon appointments, and by-heart the hashtag for your cousin’s mehndi.
Still, the only one we won’t have any trouble remembering is #DeepVeer. The nation’s dream girl, Deepika Padukone, is getting hitched to fellow actor and human Road Runner cartoon Ranveer Singh in a two-day affair, November 14 and 15. What could be more exciting than the formation of a brand-new Bollywood power couple?
Perhaps the fact that a second pairing of stars, whose constellation we have fondly christened “Prick”, is likely to occur in Jodhpur’s Umaid Bhawan during Deepika and Ranveer’s Mumbai reception? You’d think that Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s global appeal might render them more important than our homegrown DeepVeer. But their down-to-earth beginnings is precisely what makes Mr and Mrs Padmaavat exceptional, not just in their own careers, but as a couple. Where you’d otherwise be hard-pressed to find an A-list star whose name does not end in either Kapoor or Khan, Deepika and Ranveer are among the few who give us hope, however slight, that there is still room for (almost) outsiders in Bollywood.
Although Deepika and Ranveer are ready to serve us the closest thing we’ve had to a royal wedding since the union of Virushka last year – featuring the now-ubiquitous Lake Como venue and the colour-coordinated Sabyasachi wardrobe – they remain refreshingly relatable.
Of course, Deepika and Ranveer, with their privileged backgrounds and better-than-average connections, are no Kangana Ranaut. But unlike today’s star kids, neither was warding off the paparazzi while still in their teens, nor were they handed a K.Jo launch as their Class XI graduation gift. Instead, like the rest of us, they struggled in a way before finally bagging the big banners.
Deepika played competitive badminton like her father before abandoning the strenuous life of a sportswoman, only to enter the cut-throat world of modelling. When she began to receive film offers, she turned them down to first focus on learning acting – a move that squares with every gushing description of her professionalism and work ethic.
Ranveer, on the other hand, was closer to Bollywood – Sonam Kapoor’s second-cousin, but yet less acquainted with fame than Deepika. Like so many creative strugglers, he attempted to hold down a normal job, working in advertising and then ADing on films before taking the big leap to be in front of the camera.
Although Deepika and Ranveer are ready to serve us the closest thing we’ve had to a royal wedding since the union of Virushka last year – featuring the now-ubiquitous Lake Como venue and the colour-coordinated Sabyasachi wardrobe – they remain refreshingly relatable. Deepika has rarely clung tightly to her too-perfect image, discussing her ex Ranbir Kapoor, what it feels like to be dumped, and her own struggles with depression. Ranveer, meanwhile, seems physically incapable of not baring his heart and soul on every talk show, red carpet, and film set. His energy is infectious and he makes his fans feel that they matter.
The DeepVeer romance, captured in heartfelt confessions, mushy Instagram comments, and photos so sweet that they make singletons spontaneously burst into tears, feels strikingly genuine in an industry where, as actor Richa Chadda once claimed, people regular use dating as a PR strategy. Their love story feels like a classic fairytale, with all the necessary ingredients of overcoming the odds, achieving dreams, and finding true love after heartbreaks. And this is refreshing because for the most part, that narrative has sagged under the weight of Bollywood’s intermingling, ever-growing khandaani tree.
The union of DeepVeer, the odd couple, breathes some life into our old, starry-eyed ideals. Maybe that’s why, even if we aren’t invited, we feel like spectators at their glamorous and highly private destination wedding. Because if there’s one Bollywood love story that doesn’t look scripted, it’s this one.

Texas A&M needs to keep a close watch on Johnny Football
This kid is as intriguing off the field as he is on it. That makes a conservative university nervous.
Johnny Football will get the Aggies plenty of headlines. But Texas A&M could do without some of the coverage.
Take, for example, the latest commotion about Manziel involving a federal lawsuit over trademark infringement.
Manziel is seeking to protect the “Johnny Football” nickname.
On one hand, it’s understandable why a marquee player with so much upside potential would want to keep strangers from poaching off of his pigskin success.
On the other hand, this legal maneuvering over money only reinforces the fact that college football is now as much about lawyers, lawsuits and legal tender as it is about touchdowns and tailgating.
This latest Manziel story will have legs, as they say in this business — meaning it won’t go away anytime soon.
That’s because the NCAA has reportedly ruled that Manziel can keep any winnings from his legal battles — as long as boosters, let’s say, don’t attempt to use trademark infringement as an avenue to shovel money in the quarterback’s direction.
Let’s repeat that: If Manziel wins a lawsuit over trademark infringement, he can keep the money — right now — according to multiple reports.
He won’t have to wait until his college eligibility expires.
This decision will open a Pandora’s Box of problems for the NCAA.
If I’m a college athlete, why not line up a legal team and a number of trademarked names and attempt to cash in on this Manziel decision, rather than worry about such things as academics.

George Clooney never made it a secret that one of his biggest cinematic regrets was taking on the role of Batman, which included wearing a costume complete with artificial nipples.
But even if the actor kept saying that 1997’s Batman & Robin is a part of his filmography that he would very much like to forget, he was asked about it at the New York City premiere of his new film The Tender Bar on Tuesday. During a Q&A session after the film, Clooney was asked if he would ever consider taking Spandex Unitard and Kap again, to which he himself replied in a depressing way, “I made a superhero movie and I did it so badly that it would not leave. me close to the set. “He then added,” I do not want to get into all the bat nipples, “referring to a very remarkable design element of his costume for the film. He concluded, “My job, where my bread is buttered, is the kind of movies I grew up in the 60s and 70s, which is kind of the prime time for American movies that were all based on history. “
Earlier this month, he also said Variety that he will not leave his wife, Amal Clooney, or her four-year-old twins watch the movie because “there are certain movies I just go to, ‘I want my wife to have a respect for me,'” and added, “It’s bad when your four-year-old child goes, ‘This is pressing.’ That could be painful. ”And in December 2020, the Oscar winner also opened up about his disastrous tour as Caped Crusader in an interview on The Howard Stern Show. Clooney admitted Stern that it hurts him “physically” to watch his “terrible” performance Batman & Robin. “The truth of the matter is, I was bad at it. Akiva Goldsman– who won the Oscar for writing since then – he wrote the screenplay, and it’s a terrible screenplay, he will tell you. I’m terrible at it, I tell you. Joel Schumacher, who had just died, led it, and he would say, ‘Yes, it did not work.’ We all whispered about it, “he said.” I could not have done it any other way. “


Furnaces are one of the most popular, common ways that homeowners choose to heat their homes. There is a furnace in countless homes across the country. They offer high quality, efficient heating performance and a great variety of fuel options.

A furnace, like other home heating systems, depends on your thermostat to tell it when temperatures have dropped below the desired target temperature. It is important that your thermostat is in good working condition and that you understand how to use it effectively. It is the central control panel for the furnace it regulates.
When more heat is needed fuel is sent to the burners, generally sparked by an electronic ignition device. A steady flame is maintained. This operation cannot be carried out safely if your burners, sensors or any other component are compromised. That is why regular furnace maintenance is so important.
The heat exchanger transfers heat to the flame more completely than the flames can by themselves. Once the heat exchanger is hot enough the blower in your furnace system will come on. This blower forces the air to your ductwork.
The ductwork system in your home supplies heated air throughout each room. This allows for effective, even heating. Of course air must be brought back to your furnace to complete they cycle. Your air ducts are also responsible for returning cool air back to the furnace, where the process can begin all over again.
No homeowner should ever attempt to service or repair their furnace on their own. With a proper installation and regular, professional maintenance your furnace can operate efficiently and effectively. This is not the case if you take it upon yourself to attempt any service on the system. To learn more about the furnace in your Newport, KY home or to schedule the professional services it needs to succeed, contact Greater Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc.®.

“The Grand Jurors did not choose this battle,” stated Kevin Glogower, the attorney for the three grand jurors per the Courier-Journal. “This battle chose them. These are randomly selected citizens who were compelled to sit on a grand jury and were terribly misused by the most powerful law enforcement official in Kentucky. It is truly a testament to the Kentucky Constitution that they are able to be here today and to expose injustice and demand public accountability.”
The petition also accuses Cameron of improperly used public funds by joining a lawsuit against Pennsylvania’s 2020 election results. And that Cameron supported unlawful actions as a member of the National Association of Attorneys General’s executive committee, helping to fund robocalls telling people to participate in the Capitol Hill attack on Jan. 6.
“The move to petition the impeachment of Attorney General Daniel Cameron is an extremely courageous and admirable action taken by these grand jurors in the Breonna Taylor case. They should be applauded for taking a valiant stand for justice and transparency within our institutions, along with reclaiming their voices that AG Cameron attempted to stifle during the grand jury proceedings,” the statement reads.
“AG Cameron placed an impossible burden on these citizens when he skewed the circumstances of Bre’s death and failed to present the possibility of homicide charges. Citizens being able to fully trust those holding public office has never been more important and we hope at the very least, this sends the message that no one has the right to take the law into their own hands and manipulate our processes for their own devious purposes.
“We encourage the House committee to seriously review this petition and hold AG Cameron accountable for his role in misleading the public and the grand jurors, and denying justice for Breonna Taylor and her family.”

It has taken eight long years, but the world is finally right again as Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston are sharing the screen together, this time in Netflix’s comedy Murder Mystery.
The streaming service has just put out a trailer for the highly anticipated film, showing what appears to be a slightly altered version of fan-favorite thrillers Murder on the Orient Express, and dare I say, Clue?
Sandler plays an NYC cop who, along with his wife (Aniston), is traveling to Europe to rekindle the romance in their now stale fifteen-year marriage. But a chance encounter slightly alters their plans, placing them in the middle of an intimate family gathering on the Super Yacht of elderly billionaire Malcolm Quince. When Quince is murdered, the American couple becomes the prime suspects and find themselves on the run for their lives.
Luke Evans and Gemma Arterton also co-star while Dany Boom plays Inspector Laurent Delacroix, a character one degree removed from Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot.
Murder Mystery will be available on the streaming service beginning June 14.

When it comes to average retirement savings, nearly one-third of baby boomers over the age of 55 neglect their retirement planning, typically socking away less than $10,000. Only 22 percent of retirees have nestled $250,000 or more. When you reach retirement age, around age 50, all the major financial responsibilities should be well behind you. Financial analysts predict, by the time retirement rolls around, retirees will require close to $1 million, and it looks like most are insufficiently prepared.
How Much Can You Live On Each Year
The pivotal question is what’s the yearly amount you’re able to withdraw from your retirement savings without incurring the risk of running out of money? For retirees who find themselves behind on their average retirement savings goals, all hope is not lost.
Here are three things you can do that can profoundly impact your future;
1. Supplemental Your 401k Contributions
Even if you’re a late-saver, you can still gain an advantage with catch-up contributions.
2. Downsize because Less is More
In recent years, many property owners experienced a decline in the value of their homes, thus they’re reluctant to sell. Although the value of many homes have not seen a comeback, downsizing to a more affordable home could save thousands of dollars
3. 401K is a painless way to save
The best retirement plans are the 401k, because you can significantly reduce or avoid taxes on your contributions, until you withdraw it. A common blunder is allocating a large portion of retirement 401k shares to company stock. Placing a large portion of your retirement eggs in one basket is not a practical decision. Remember to diversify.
The most serious blunder people make about retirement is neglecting planning. Shockingly, about 1-in-4 savers pre-plan their average retirement savings decisions. Regardless of whether you are retiring soon or far in the future, now is a good time to take inventory of your current financial portfolio.

T-Mobile executives at the company's "Uncarrier" event on Tuesday appeared to come down on both sides of the throttling issue, noting that users exceeding their allotments will see slower speeds, but that heavy data users will not see their bandwidth throttled.
Speaking at the company's media event in New York, T-Mobile CEO John Legere addressed the possibility of throttling. T-Mobile customers with set data limits â the base 500MB plan or the 2.5GB plan, for example â will see their their speeds dropping to 3G levels should they go over those limits.
The company's execs say that it will not, however, throttle the bandwidth of high-data consumers on unlimited plans, so long as they aren't inhibiting the fair access of other customers.
"We put a fair use policy in," Legere said during the event's question and answer section. That fair use policy is aimed more at keeping the network open to other wireless customers, and T-Mobile apparently already has customers using massive amounts of data without being throttled. One exec noted that some customers are using more than 50GB per month, but the times in which they are doing so aren't adversely affecting other customers.
"If there is ever a case where we're going to use a fair use policy," VentureBeat quotes Legere saying, "we're going to post it so you can have a look at it. It's not a number â if someone is having a party at 3am [using a ton of data], I don't really care."
T-Mobile's executives on stage attempted to parry accusations that they were trying to have it both ways on throttling. They pointed out that all of the rate plans get top 4G speeds up until their data limits. Speaking with Barrons, T-Mobile marketing officer Mike Sievert said that the company had tailored its pricing and data rates to fit the usage patterns of power users.
Throttling has become point of contention between the carriers on one side and heavy data users and consumer advocates on the other. AT&T â as do most of the major carriers â touts its plans as offering "unlimited data," but the network drops user speeds once they pass a 5GB threshold within a month. In February of last year, an iPhone user successfully sued AT&T over its throttling measures, winning $850 from the carrier.
The carrier also announced that its version of the iPhone 5 will not initially support T-Mobile's Wi-Fi Calling technology. Speaking with Engadget, Sievert said that Wi-Fi Calling "is not coming" at launch. Pressed on the issue, Sievert said that T-Mobile "loves its Wi-Fi Calling feature, and I'll have to leave it at that."
The Wi-Fi Calling feature allows T-Mobile customers abroad to receive calls from their US phone number through a Wi-Fi connection anywhere in the world. The feature is currently available on a number of Android devices on the carrier.

I've always known the 911 was different, and the Cliff's Notes version of why: the famous shape, the engine in the back, the Porsche's practicality compared to other exotic cars. As a kid, I'd read enough magazines and played enough driving video games to understand that 911s were fast, precision vehicles that rewarded enthusiastic driving.
But if you asked me to explain the dedicated following in more detail than that, you'd find me at a loss. We all know the car's look and legacy are ingrained to automotive culture, and yet there are other history-rich, high-performance cars out there, many of which are prettier and rarer than a Porsche 911. So what exactly is behind the cult of this car? How is the 911 still special after all these years?
This feels like a good time to ask the big question, since the newest version of the Porsche 911, officially designated the 992, will arrive next year as a 2020 model year car. So I asked Porsche acolytes. I read everything I could about the 911. And, finally, I drove one. Here is what I found.
More From Popular Mechanics
Personality and History
I started by asking Matt LeBlanc, host of Top Gear and owner of multiple 911s going back to 1984. “I have some older Porches that have no driver’s aids, and I have a brand new Porsche that’s filled with driver’s aids,” he said. “And it’s interesting because you can feel the DNA of the car. If you drive an older, 70’s 911, then you get in a 2015 911, you can totally feel the lineage. It’s incredible, just a seat-of-your-pants feel.”
In an era of disposable consumer goods, using an older version of a technology is a punishment. The Porsche is an unusual product whose form has been deliberately preserved. That’s tough to do. Any company that’s successful at this task is remarkable.
It Can Be Anonymous
If the 911 is such a performance masterpiece, I used to think, then why has it never looked as cool as it should. No predatory animal headlights, no huge rear wing. If I'm spending six figures, I’d rather save up for something obnoxious from Italy, or a McLaren 570S. It's got dihedral doors!
The older I get, the more I understand the appeal of sleeper cars. Vehicles that look unassuming, maybe even boring, but will tear up back roads and blow away people in neon Japanese tuners. The Audi RS3 and Volkswagen Golf R come to mind.
I’ve only had custody of McLarens and Lamborghinis for spans of less than a week, which is not long enough to get tired of the lame jokes. (You hear “Wanna trade?!” often). Even so, I can see the beauty of going unnoticed. Especially by law enforcement.
It Has a Trunk
Speaking of Lamborghinis and McLarens: If you get to drive your heroes, then you'll learn that so much of what makes those cars fast on a track is deeply irritating in everyday life. You ride low, afraid that Range Rovers and semi trucks won’t see you. You scrape the nose on speed bumps. Even with cameras and sensors, parallel parking requires you to be impervious to the pressure of performing for gathering pedestrians. With 911s, that’s not an issue.
Within the last decade or so, some of those more obnoxious supercars have followed Porsche's lead in becoming more user-friendly. In the mid-2000s, around the time of the Porsche Carerra GT, six-figure mid-engine vehicles started getting transmissions, engines, and interiors that made them comfortable even at civilian speeds. The driver’s seat of a Lamborghini Huracán set to Strada mode is a pleasant place to be, even in commuter traffic. Even so, none can match the practicality of the 911, thanks to the Porsche's bigger trunk, better visibility, and a front lip that won’t scrape every parking lot entrance and exit.
For real life driving, with potholes and groceries, the 911 is a practical tool. Even the visibility is good. When I mentioned to PM Auto Editor Ezra Dyer that I actually fit my nieces in the back of a 2018 Turbo S, he pointed out for the 991, the version of the 911 from 2012 to 2018, Porsche stretched the length of the wheelbase, creating rear seats that are actually useable. You can’t get that in a Corvette Z06, Audi R8, or Jaguar F-Type. More Ezra wisdom: The 911 has optional all-wheel drive, which, for a long time, was really unusual in sports car. With a set of snow tires, a 911 can handle a harsh winter.
There's One for Everyone
Building my fantasy 911 on Porsche’s website gets overwhelming. GTS, Targa, Carrera, Carrera S, GT2, GT3. But for a real customer, the wealth of options is another part of the appeal.
The starter 911 Carrera is unimpeachably great. The Targa will feel like a coupe in winter, and perform a cool roof-storage dance in the spring. The Turbo S looks like any other rich aunt or uncle’s Porsche, but will out-accelerate certain Lamborghinis and Ferraris. The GT3 is a street-legal track car so scrupulously adjusted that it has a sticker decal instead of a Porsche badge to save weight. There’s even a hybrid 911 on the way.
The Engine Is Special
These days, the 911 is one of the only cars you can buy with a flat-six, which provides certain advantages. Compared to something like a V6, a flat boxer engine’s cylinders are really low down. That gives this really heavy part of the car a low center of gravity. That gives you better handling.
911 fanaticism means scrutiny for everything Porsche engineers change when they introduce a new model. Since the flat-six is so core to the car's identity, the change from air-cooled to water-cooled 20 years ago was scandalous. Some fans considered it an unforgivable adulteration of the 911's identity. I bet Leica dealt with the same thing when it made its first digital camera. However you feel about it, the change adds to the car's history. Even the 911's engine has distinct life stages.
Whatever the iteration, nothing else sounds like a Porsche. When you start the car, you get this wonderful “guttural cough that builds into a raspy howl,” as Ezra described it to me. It’s a modest, but confident announcement to the neighborhood.
The Engine Is in the Back
An oversimplified summary: cars perform best with the weight evenly distributed among its wheels. That’s why so many of the fastest cars have the engine, the heaviest component, in the middle, between the front and rear axles. Front-engine isn’t ideal, but most vehicles us civilians drive are configured this way, partly because the setup puts weight (grip) over the tires that do the steering.
The Porsche 911’s engine is in the back, partially over the rear axle. Accelerating with the heaviest part in the back, physics laws encourage the wrong end of the car to overtake the lighter front end. It’s like “an arrow shot tail-first,” which is how a writer described the rear-engine rear-wheel-drive Corsair in 1949. Unless it remains absolutely stable, any loss of grip will compel the car to turn itself backwards. And that’s before we even start talking about what that setup does to the steering.
Yes, the actual physics of a 911 are more nuanced than that. Thinking of the rear engine as the weight on a pendulum, eager to sway the string to which it’s attached, isn’t quite how it works in practice. Still, it’s a design with inherent handicaps that have benefitted from decades of refinement. When discussing the 911 with Joe Rogan, Elon Musk said (around the 1:58:00 mark), “To make it [the rear-engine setup] still work well is incredible.”
He’s right. It’s a peculiar car, which means driving one is a singular experience. One example of this that LeBlanc explained to me: You’re going into a turn, and feel the rear wheels losing grip. In most cars, you let off the throttle to recover. In a 911, you fight your instincts and accelerate. The engine presses down on the rear wheels, for more grip.
Truth Is in the Driving
Months ago, I finally drove a 911 for the first time. I’m too much of a wuss to have experienced the explanation myself. Besides, all the driver aids in a modern Porsche probably would’ve saved me before I had to make a decision like that. But the feel of a rear-engine car is noticeable even at low speeds. Every on-ramp, every hard turn, any time you’re going above 40 mph or braking hard, the information you get from the steering wheel and the seat is a different sensation than what you feel in just about any other car. Driving alone, I audibly said, “I get it now.”

Swissair Group has proposed a new rescue package for its loss-making Belgian subsidiary, Sabena. The deal is part of Swissair's ongoing efforts to free itself from a commitment to increase its stake in the Belgian carrier to 85 per cent.
Under the new deal proposed on Monday, Swissair and the Belgian government would jointly invest 275 million euros (SFr419 million), each paying half of the sum. Swissair says it would also agree to lend Sabena 30 million euros (SFr46 million), bringing the total amount to 305 million euros.
The Swiss carrier has also said it would not invest any more money in Sabena if the deal were to be accepted. Belgium has until July 4. to decide on the proposal.
Swissair holds a 49.5 per cent stake in the carrier, with the Belgian government holding the rest of the shares. Swissair also has a commitment to increase its holding to 85 per cent but is now unwilling to do so because of its financial problems.
Belgium says Swissair had agreed to take responsibility for Sabena's ground handling, cargo and catering subsidiaries as well as providing for the company's financial needs for 2000-2001.
Last week, the Belgian government dismissed Swissair's offer of an unspecified payment in return for being released from its obligation to increase its stake.
Monday's offer came after Swissair agreed on Saturday to sell its 49 per cent stake in the French regional airline, Air Littoral, to the French airline's former chief executive, Marc Dufour. Swissair's boss, Mario Corti, said the agreement would guarantee "a solid future for a large part of the workforce" of 1,100 people.
Air Littoral said the deal would allow it to keep 31 of 39 aircraft in the air and it said that it hoped to keep job losses to a minimum.
The sale is part of Swissair's strategy of withdrawing from its foreign investments after posting losses of almost SFr3 billion last year. The divestment leaves Swissair tied to two other French carriers, AOM and Air Liberté, which filed for insolvency last month.
Shares in Swissair are down more than 60 per cent since the beginning of the year.

Learning Without Limits: Gary Keller's Reading Model
As Gary Keller writes in The Millionaire Real Estate Agent , when he was a young, spunky college student, a professor said to him: “You know, Gary, people have lived before you, and you might be wise to go study their lives as you're building your own.”
While it took a few years for the advice to fully sink in, the exchange set the foundation for Gary to start thinking about what made people successful. Later when he read Tony Robbins’ book Unlimited Power, he began to consider success in terms of models. He said, “The movers and shakers of the world are often professional modelers.”
“People who have attained excellence follow a consistent path to success” — Tony Robbins, Unlimited Power
Gary says, “This book was the first time that I ever actually saw the word model used in that way. And I'd never thought about it this way either. That's what my professor was saying in essence… I finished that book, and I looked at the world completely differently. And I began to understand that I needed to accumulate great models in the areas of my life that mattered.”
For Gary, and for anyone who hopes to break through their achievement ceilings, reading is a way to find the models that propel you. Books can be tools that help you get into the right mindset, discover new methods, and ultimately build models for life, business, and everything in between.
But, for books to become rocket fuel, you’ve got to be intentional about what you read and how you read it.
For your reading to make an impact on your life and business, try applying this model.
1. Identify what you want to learn and who you want to learn from.
Both of these questions will lead you to titles that can serve as roadmaps.
Is there someone who has achieved something similar to what you wish to achieve? Identifying these people will lead you to books. Who are the best-informed experts on the topics that matter to you? Once you determine who the experts are, learn from what they have to say. Some of these books will be biographies (like Sam Walton by Vance H. Trimble) and some will be memoirs (like Pizza Tiger by Tom Monaghan). Study the people who have come before you and the actions they’ve taken. You don’t need to recreate the wheel. Use what has been written about their activities to influence your own behaviors.
What do you need to learn more about to level up your business? Perhaps you want to learn about the different ways to think so that you can make better decisions (read The Six Thinking Hats by Edward D. Bono) or how a CEO needs to pivot during times of crisis (Ben Horowitz’s The Hard Thing About Hard Things might help).
2. Underline and take notes as you read.
Your book will actually become a more valuable resource to you if you keep track of the thoughts and impressions you had while reading. Don’t be afraid to mark it up!
Jay Papasan, co-author of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent and several other books with Gary Keller, recommends reading physical copies of books, so that you can easily reference your markings later. If you’re reading a digital book, some e-readers will allow you to underline text and export the notes later—but the writing won’t be as easily visible as when you do it in a hard copy.
We also suggest writing up your key takeaways in the front pages of the book. Several years down the road it may be hard to remember what you loved about the book. Re-reading your concise learnings can help jog your memory.
3. Ask yourself, “What action should I take with this information?”
Reading without application is just learning for learnings’ sake, and it leads “know-where.”
As you’re reading, think critically about the information you’re learning and whether or not you need to take action based on what you know.
Sometimes this may look like changing a core value or letting go of a limiting belief. Other times, you may find a new model that could replace one that you’re using. Most often, you’ll find tips and tweaks to models that will allow you to upgrade what you’re already using.
Oh, and don’t be afraid to make the call that the book you’re reading doesn’t actually help you. Gary reads just enough of a book to determine if he’s going to learn something from it—and if he doesn’t think there’s anything to find, he stops reading. Your time is precious; don’t waste it on finishing a book just to finish it. Sometimes the action you need to take when reading a book is to close it.

– The US is likely as little as a few years from a central bank digital currency (CBDC), according to Bank of America, reported Treasury & Risk. The bank predicts that the US will issue government-backed digital coins at some point between 2025 and 2030. CBDCs ‘are an inevitable evolution of today’s electronic currencies,’ wrote Bank of America strategists Alkesh Shah and Andrew Moss in a report. In the meantime, use of digital currencies issued by private entities will probably grow, they said.
The Federal Reserve discussed developing its own coin in a 35-page paper last week, saying the paper was just a first step and it didn’t intend to proceed without support from the White House and Congress. It pointed to a number of benefits, such as cheaper and faster cross-border payments but also noted several potential risks, including possible runs on financial firms and a reduction in the number of deposits in the banking system.
– ‘Wondering what the force was that turned an orderly decline into a full-blown rout [Monday] morning?’ asked Bloomberg (paywall). The answer: ‘Mom and pop bailing’. In a ‘spasm of panicked selling’ early Monday, retail investors offloaded a net $1.36 bn worth of stock by noon – most of it in the first hour – according to data compiled by JPMorgan Chase & Co strategist Peng Cheng. By his estimate, share disposals were 3.9 standard deviations heavier than the full-day average in the previous 12 months, the company added. While ‘the rush for the exits’ drove down the Nasdaq 100 by almost 5 percent in Monday morning trading, Bloomberg also noted the news could be a sign ‘of seller exhaustion’. Major averages staged a ‘breathtaking reversal in the hours after the wave of sell orders landed,’ it said, with stocks actually ending higher.
– Bloomberg reported that, according to Goldman Sachs, Saudi Arabia will remain the busiest of the Middle East’s stock markets, even as the UAE pushes more companies to go public. John Wilkinson, the bank’s London-based head of emerging market equity capital markets, described 2021 as a ‘standout year’ for the Persian Gulf. Initial public offerings by ACWA Power, Solutions by STC and Saudi Tadawul Group in Saudi Arabia, as well as several others in Abu Dhabi, pushed Middle Eastern and North African equity issuance to about $23 bn last year. Riyadh had more listings than any of its Gulf rivals in the past year, added Bloomberg. Saudi Arabia’s economy, the biggest in the Middle East, has been boosted by the surge in oil prices to more than $85 a barrel and the government’s easing of coronavirus restrictions. The Tadawul All Share Index is up 8 percent this year, according to Bloomberg data, making it one of the world’s best performers.
– The Financial Times (paywall) reported that international banks have warned Beijing over its plans for new overseas listings rules. Banks said an overhaul of the regime for listing Chinese businesses overseas may deter them from advising on IPOs, which would ‘imperil a source of funding that has powered some of the country’s best-known companies,’ according to the paper. Asia Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, the region’s top banking lobby group whose members include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, wrote to Chinese regulators seeking clarity about rules that were proposed after the calamitous listing of ride-hailing app DiDi Chuxing in New York last year, according to two people familiar with the matter.
– The SEC reopened the comment period on proposed rules under the Dodd-Frank Act requiring disclosure of information reflecting the relationship between executive compensation paid by a company and the company’s financial performance. The reopening is due in part to certain developments since 2015 when the proposing release was issued, including developments in executive compensation practices, according to the agency.
‘If adopted, this proposed rule would strengthen the transparency and quality of executive compensation disclosure,’ said SEC chair Gary Gensler in a statement. ‘The commission has long recognized the value of information on executive compensation to investors. In 2015, [it] proposed rules to implement the Dodd-Frank Act’s ‘pay versus performance’ requirement. In this reopening release, we are considering whether additional performance metrics would better reflect Congress’ intention in the Dodd-Frank Act and would provide shareholders with information they need to evaluate a company’s executive compensation policies.’
– Dow Jones added its own ESG data to the growing information available to investors, reported Markets Media. The new dataset provides sustainability scores and sentiment on more than 6,000 publicly traded companies, Dow Jones said, with a scoring model aligned with SASB standards, covering five sustainability dimensions and 26 categories. To differentiate itself from the many ESG ratings providers now on the market, Dow Jones will combine ‘company-disclosed data with news from thousands of global sources,’ said Markets Media, creating a ‘uniquely news-driven’ service.
– The FT reported that, according to the Conference Board, fewer than 10 out of almost 12,000 eligible companies have demonstrated that they are ready to comply with new environmental reporting rules brought into force in Europe at the start of the year. The group warned that the majority of European companies it had analyzed could fail to provide data at their financial year-end about capital spending on key issues such as renewable energy.
The new EU rules require any listed company with more than 500 staff to publish the percentage of revenue, capital expenditure and operating costs from activities covered by the green taxonomy – a classification system that defines environmentally sustainable activities in line with the EU’s climate change objectives. The global assessment found ‘only a handful’ had published taxonomy audits. There was widespread ignorance, said Anuj Saush, leader of the governance and sustainability center of the Conference Board, which is sending almost 200 members a briefing on how to comply.
– The Wall Street Journal (paywall) reported that the SEC proposed measures that would significantly increase its insight into private equity funds and some hedge funds, the first in a range of plans to expand the agency’s oversight of private markets. The proposal would increase the amount and timeliness of confidential information that private equity and hedge funds report to the agency on a document known as Form PF. The main goal, said SEC chair Gensler, is to allow regulators to better identify risks building up in private markets.
Net assets managed by private funds rose to $11.7 tn in the first quarter of last year from $5.3 tn in 2013, according to the SEC. This growth has raised concerns from some policy makers about the potential for unseen risks to accumulate in a corner of the market that is far less transparent than mutual funds or publicly traded companies.
– London Metal Exchange chief Matthew Chamberlain is quitting after five years in the role to join a crypto start-up, reported City AM. Chamberlain will become the chief executive officer of digital asset custodian Komainu, a company that safeguards $5 bn worth of crypto on behalf of its clients. Commenting on his appointment, Chamberlain said: ‘I have always been passionate about building safe and efficient solutions to ensure global markets function as effectively as possible.’ He described Komainu’s model as combining ‘the best of traditional and decentralized finance, and truly [representing] the natural evolution of our industry.’
Chamberlain is the latest experienced executive from traditional markets to be ‘lured into the crypto space,’ added the paper, noting that last year, former UK chancellor Philip Hammond joined digital asset custodian Copper as an adviser. City AM said the move signaled ‘a collision between the worlds of traditional and decentralized finance’.
– Gryphon Advisors has become Morrow Sodali (Canada) following the December 2021 acquisition of the Canadian proxy solicitation firm by global corporate advisory Morrow Sodali. The deal bolsters Morrow Sodali’s Canadian offering, with the company noting in a statement that the firm ranked first among activist advisers in the Canadian market, according to Bloomberg’s 2021 Global Activism Review. Morrow Sodali was also ranked number one M&A proxy solicitor by The Deal (US) and Mergermarket (globally) for both 2021 and 2020, the firm added.

In an exclusive interview with Telecom Review Africa, Dr. Philip Song, Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei Carrier BG, shared his insights on the transformative journey of 5G technology over the past four years, its impact on the global telecommunications landscape, and the unique considerations for its development in Africa.
Global 5G Industry Growth and African Trends
A lot of operators are interested in the development of the 5G industry, particularly in Africa. By August 2023, “over 265 global operators have launched 5G commercially, surpassing 1.3 billion connections and offering 1,700 devices for use. 5G's rapid progress globally has outpaced expectations,” Dr. Song stated.
Notably, 5G achieved in four years what 4G might have taken seven to eight. This technology has greatly benefited society, opening doors for consumers and enterprises alike. P2P connectivity has exceeded projections by 17-fold, underlining its impact. This leap forward from 3G and 4G promises an interconnected future.
In Africa, 4G and 5G will coexist, dominating mobile internet traffic for some time. It's advised to develop both in synergy for a smooth MBB network evolution.
Moreover, “National industry policies stand as key players in fostering the ICT sector.” To ensure the healthy development of 5G in Africa, governments should consider implementing incentive policies that strategically promote its growth and adoption. Dr. Song noted that “Spectrum allocation is pivotal for 5G development. Mainstream mid-bands such as C-band, TDD 2.6 GHz, and TDD 2.3 GHz, each with 80–100 MHz per operator, are recommended for optimal performance.”
In addition, pricing should be kept under 50% of 4G costs to facilitate widespread adoption, especially in regions like Africa, where the affordability of devices is vital.
“The true value of connectivity extends beyond mere connections; it lies in its contribution to the broader digital economy,” he said. Encouraging operators to deploy extensive 4G and 5G coverage can be a catalyst for economic growth. This emphasizes the critical role of spectrum allocation, which serves as the key to operators' expansion and digital economic progress.
Governments must also release full spectrum at affordable prices, enabling operators to accelerate economic growth through extensive network deployment. Striking the right balance between quantity and cost of spectrum is essential. In countries where operators can swiftly deploy base stations, reasonable spectrum prices play a pivotal role in alleviating financial pressure. Therefore, fostering an environment of accessible and affordable spectrum is a key driver for rapid progress.
Crafting Successful 5G Strategies
The cornerstone of carriers' business lies in ToC service. “With 5G promising ten times the network experience of 4G, it opens doors to a host of new services, including advanced 3D and immersive video experiences,” Dr. Song explained. This advancement is expected to drive growth in ARPU and DoU.
Furthermore, ToH service, known as fixed wireless access, offers a compelling solution for Africa. Currently, over 80% of households on the continent lack broadband connectivity. 5G fixed wireless access can swiftly bridge this gap, providing a fiber-like experience at a significantly lower cost compared to optical fiber.
In addition, ToB service presents a blue ocean opportunity for carriers, particularly in various vertical scenarios. Given Africa's abundance in mining and ports, there is immense potential for smart mining and smart port solutions, paving the way for industry digitalization in the future.
Green Initiatives in African Telecom
Africa, positioned at the crossroads of green development, stands to make a substantial impact on global markets and society at large. The initiative has already taken root with African operators, forging close collaborations to implement 100% renewable energy-based stations. This not only limits carbon emissions but also extends these solutions to remote, off-grid areas. Such dual advantages serve as powerful catalysts for operators and suppliers like Huawei to intensify their commitment to green and innovative solutions.
Dr. Song affirmed, “In line with COP27's ambitious goals, Africa is targeting a 43% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels. Within the telecom sector, sites represent the largest share of energy consumption. Carriers can enhance energy efficiency through streamlined site reconstructions and explore the substitution of traditional diesel generators with photovoltaic and energy storage solutions, unlocking further dividends in green development”.
Huawei remains dedicated to collaborating with customers and partners in driving continuous innovation to enhance energy efficiency per bit. This commitment aligns with the vision of achieving green ICT, enabling sustainable green development, and collectively building a more intelligent and environmentally conscious world.

With so many new games and movies coming out, it can be hard to keep up. Lucky for you, IGN is here to help with a weekly round-up of the biggest releases each and every week. Check out the latest releases for this week, and be sure to come back next Monday for a new update.
Note:The prices and deals compiled below are accurate at the time we published this story, but all are subject to change.
From our Review: Like Shadow of Mordor before it, Middle-earth: Shadow of War is so much more than just another open-world action game with Batman’s combat. Its amazing Nemesis system makes almost every encounter with a named enemy a memorable battle, and the new fortress sieges give it legs beyond the campaign through asynchronous multiplayer.
From our Review: The first scene in Baby Driver is its best. A car pulls up outside a bank, and three thieves get out to begin a bank heist. The driver is left behind, earbuds in and iPod on, as the song blaring through his headphones syncs up to the choreography of the heist and the bank robbers' subsequent getaway. The car chase and shoot out are all timed to the music the driver, Baby (Ansel Elgort), is listening to. It's a delight to behold, all style that is uniquely director Edgar Wright's, and sets the stage for the action-musical heist flick that follows.
From our Review: If you think The House is going to be something radically new from Will Ferrell, you’re going to disappointed. But, if you like, or even love, the likes of Step Brothers or Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby, The Others Guys or Old School, then you’ll probably lap this up. This isn’t classic Ferrell but it’s as close to it as we’ve been for a while and it is damn good fun.

Are you considering signing up for your first acupuncture appointment? If you are, then you are likely wanting to make sure you know a little more about this procedure before you follow through. Keep reading to learn more about acupuncture so that you know what to expect when you sign in.
It is important to relax before going to an acupuncture treatment. If you are tense, the needles will not be able to get past your clenched muscles. Breathing deeply just before the treatment or listening to some relaxing music should help. If you are having problems with tensed muscles, let your acupuncturist know about this problem.
Choose a licensed professional for your acupuncture treatment. Do not hesitate to ask if you can see a licence or get some references. If you have doubts about your acupuncturist, it is best to cancel your appointments and choose another doctor who seems more professional. Do some research online to learn more about different doctors.
Keep in mind that it may take some time for you to feel the full benefits from your acupuncture treatments. It may take more than one or two visits to find relief from pain or improvement in your conditions. Make sure you are ready to commit to the full program recommended.
If your health insurance doesn’t currently cover acupuncture, write a letter to your insurance agency. Better yet, if you’re on a corporate insurance plan, ask your human resources director to write a letter stipulating the desire for acupuncture to be added. Many plants don’t currently cover it, but you can make a difference in working towards it.
If at first you don’t succeed with acupuncture treatments, keep trying! It’s a well known fact that it can take up to three or four visits to really feel the full impact of professional acupuncture. Giving up too soon may mean forfeiting a real chance at finding permanent relief from your aches and pains.
Ask your acupuncturist about their education. Acupuncturists need to go to medical school for four years before completing an internship. The internship should last at least eighteen months. If your acupuncturist cannot prove they have this kind of educational background, you should find another specialized doctor who can treat you.
If you are pregnant, past your due date and wanting to get labor started, consider using acupuncture. This pain-free, natural practice can pinpoint specific parts of the body which can bring on contractions and help labor to progress. It is important to only use this past your due date however, so as to avoid pre-term labor which might be dangerous to the baby’s health.
Keep in mind that the benefits of acupuncture might not be found after one session. Sometimes, it takes time for your body to learn to utilize energy properly and the pressure points used in acupuncture to work correctly. This might mean that you have to undergo several sessions before seeing the results you are hoping for.
Following the advice in this article that you’ve just read will ensure that you have the best acupuncture experience. There is no need to blindly walk into anything or stay away from a good thing just because you don’t have the information you need. Instead, you have been given the information, and now you’re ready to participate!
