WASHINGTON — A Tajikistan man who received counter-terrorism training in the United States has now joined the barbaric Islamic group ISIS and is threatening to do harm to Americans in a newly-released video.
Fellow patriots, please listen to this short, inspiring message from General Flynn. General Michael Flynn exemplifies patriotism, courage, and love of God and country - despite some of his own countrymen relentlessly attacking him. Donations for his defense are greatly appreciated. If you can only give $5.00, please do so - every little bit helps. Thank you so much, and God bless. Letter from General Flynn.
“Listen, you American pigs: I’ve been to America three times. I saw how you train soldiers to kill Muslims,” Gulmurod Khalimov declares in an online video, dressed in black and holding a sniper rifle. “You taught your soldiers how to surround and attack, in order to exterminate Islam and Muslims.”
“From 2003 to 2008, I received specialized training in America on the military base of Blackwater,” he states, referring to a security contracting company that owned a training base in North Carolina. The company helped train fighters from other nations to help combat terrorism.
Khalimov served as a leader in Tajikistan’s police force known as OMON, a special unit that responded to reports of terror in the nation, and was active in the elite group at least up until last year. Tajikistan is an ally of the United States and recommended Khalimov for the training.
“From 2003-2014, Colonel Khalimov participated in five counter-terrorism training courses in the United States and in Tajikistan, through the Department of State’s Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program,” spokeswoman Pooja Jhunjhunwala told CNN.
Khalimov went missing this month, and has not been seen until the release of the video, which is believed to have been recorded in Syria. He has now reportedly defected to ISIS, which identifies itself as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and is threatening death upon both Americans and Tajikistanis alike.
“Allah willing, we will find your towns, we will come to your homes, and we will kill you,” he declares to the U.S. in the 10-minute footage.
“Listen, you dogs, the president and ministers, if only you knew how many boys, our brothers are here, waiting and yearning to return to Tajikistan to re-establish Sharia law there,” Kahlimov also threatens Tajik President Imomali Rakhmon, stating that the nation’s policies are anti-Islamic. “We are coming to you with slaughter.”
Jhunjhunwala said that Kahlimov had been screened prior to his admission into the training program.
“All appropriate Leahy vetting was undertaken in advance of this training,” she said.
But some are concerned about the development and how it could compromise U.S. security and the safety of military members.
“It’s never a good thing to have senior counter-terrorism people become terrorists,” former Army intelligence officer Michael Breen told CNN.
As previously reported, ISIS has issued a number of threats against the United States and has outlined its aspirations of taking over the world.
We—with Allah’s help—want Paris, before Rome and Islamic Iberia,” spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani said in a video in March. “And after we blow up the White House, Big Ben, and the Eiffel Tower before Paris, and Rome, the Muslims will return to power to be the vanguard and lead in every place.”
The Islamic organization most recently seized the Iraqi city of Ramadi, killing 500.

The music turned into an atypical Death metal full of diverse influences.
In December 1999, the first MCD demo was recorded, Floating Cadaver in the Monochrome, with the collaboration of Tana Avulsed as sound engineer. This MCD had a great welcome in the underground scene, selling more than 1500 copies all over the world. There are actually 3 different editions of the MCD, with different CD layer design.

After the recording the promo-CD, Dani leaves Wormed, because the lack of compromise with the band. Wormed becomes a 4 members band being: Phlegeton (vocals), J. Oliver (guitar), Guillemoth (bass) and Andy C. (drums). The band gets international recognition playing in some festivals and concerts worldwide, giving the band a name in the local and international scene, with a great response of the underground audience.
In 2003, the band release through Macabre Mementos Recs. (Japan) the first full album Planisphaerium, including a 7 tracks, recorded in VST Studios from Madrid.
In December 2003, J. Oliver leaves the band, so Wormed begins to look for a replacement to J. Oliver, they found Charly, guitar player from Wormineye, a Death Metal band from Valencia.
In 2004-2006, the band plays in international metal festivals in USA, Japan, Germany, Holland; and they make a Japan tour with Goratory (USA) and Vomit Remnants (Japan), later they make another tour with Malignancy (Usa) and Despondency (Germany) around Europe.
After a period of inactivity, the band started writing again with J.Oliver and this time with Phlegeton at the drums. Later they recruit Migueloud of the Spanish Death metal band Human Mincer as the second guitarist.

Exodromos is released through Willowtip Records in USA and Hammerheart Records in Europe.
Lyrically, Exodromos is a prequel of Planisphaerium; the story tells about futuristic science concepts and chaotic visions of the last human left in cosmos, Krighsu. These are particularly in relation to the awakening of the "Chrym" once the last humans of the year 8K, called the Terrax, disappeared, and the known universe was absorbed by a quantum wormhole in a inverted multi-vectorial reionization. Krighsu, will travel through xenoverses to found a new world with the human seed.

My first Creative Convivium on August 9th was a sweet success! Lunch-goers swooned to Ms. Alise’s soaring delivery of “Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life” from the balcony loft, smiled to Mrs. De Aguilar’s cheerful rentition of “Sunny Side of the Street,” and sang along to “Accentuate the Positive,” highlighting the goals of The Flourishing Artist…

This summer, I am thrilled to present a new creative effort that goes to another level. It’s not theater, it’s not literature, it’s not a performance: it’s YOU.

Fifty years ago, Florida Trend magazine began bestowing their annual Golden Spoon awards, originally intended to be a guide for traveling businessmen in Florida. Roughly 100 restaurants each year receive this accolade, separating them from more than 40,000 food service establishments in the state.
According to the magazine, the chief criteria for receiving a Golden Spoon is the food, “made from top ingredients sourced carefully and prepared with imagination and authenticity from entrees to vegetables and breads.” They stress that “having high prices, longstanding popularity or current buzz” cannot guarantee an award, although setting, décor and service all play a role.

Nikki Haley, onetime United States ambassador to the United Nations, took shots Friday at former President Donald Trump, a 2024 Republican primary opponent.
The former South Carolina governor previously refrained from criticizing Trump. However, in a new interview with RealClearPolitics, Haley argued that "the past is catching up with" the former president.
"He's living in the past, and the past is catching up with him in a way that it is causing drama," Haley told Philip Wegmann, the outlet's White House correspondent. "We have to move forward. We can't deal with the drama that's following him. We can't deal with the baggage."
She also offered sympathy to Trump, acknowledging that he has been "abused" by the media and federal government.
"But the American people need to move forward," she emphasized.
Haley later criticized some of Trump's policy decisions while he was president, specifically for not supporting E-Verify, a government database that allows employers to confirm whether job prospects can legally work.
"It's not about whether it's tough or not," the former U.S. official stated. "This is about making sure that we only have people hired in this country that are legal."
Her comments come two months after Haley announced her decision to run for the Republican nomination, going against past statements that she would not seek the White House if Trump were to run for a second, nonconsecutive term.
A memo leaked earlier this week showed that Haley's campaign tore into Trump behind the scenes, writing that he is "more consumed by the grievances of the past and the promise of more drama in the future."

Purpose This study aimed to examine the associations between participation frequency in physical education (PE) classes and objective measures of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) in children from 12 countries at different levels of development. Methods This multinational, cross-sectional study included 5874 children 9-11 yr old from sites in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Finland, India, Kenya, Portugal, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. PA and SB were monitored for seven consecutive days using a waist-worn accelerometer. PA and SB data were presented for weekdays (times in and out of school) and weekend days. Participation frequency in PE classes was determined by questionnaire. Multilevel modeling analyses stratified by sex were used. Results Overall, 24.8% of children self-reported participation in PE classes ≥3 times per week (25.3% in high-income countries [HIC] and 24.3% in low- and middle-income countries [LMIC]). After adjusting for age, sex, parental education, and body mass index z-score, results showed that children from low- and middle-income countries who took PE classes one to two times per week were more likely to present better indicators of PA and shorter time in SB in and out of school. In HIC, boys that participated in PE classes were more likely to meet the moderate-to-vigorous PA recommendations and to present better indicators of PA (in school) and shorter time in SB in and out of school. For girls in HIC, attending PE classes increased the likelihood of spending more time in moderate-to-vigorous PA, especially if they attended ≥3 times per week. Conclusion Attending PE classes is associated with a higher level of PA and a lower level of SB in and out of school during weekdays in children from countries at various levels of development.

The Wolf of Wall Street. The Big Short. Glengarry Glen Ross. Equity. Only one of these films shows women running the show in the world of high finance. While it's hard to argue that when it comes to role models, we desperately need an empowering female Gordon Gekko, it is true that investing as both a career and an activity is lopsided and gendered. A new study has some insights into why — and how you can plan around it.
First things first: There's nothing biological about why women are more conservative investors. Rui Yao, an associate professor of personal and financial planning at the University of Missouri, just released a study showing that income uncertainty affects men and women differently. In other words, the wage gap is real, and it really messes with risk tolerance.
Yao found that women not only experience more income uncertainty because of life events, particularly those related to children, but financial planners often give women advice that's less helpful given their circumstances. "Simply telling women to be more risk tolerant is ineffective," she said in a press release. "In fact, it might encourage women to take more financial risks than they can tolerate, which could lead to more problems in the future."
Wealth acquisition and accumulation matter to all genders, but women in particular need to know their way around it. Unmarried women tend to have lower net worth than unmarried men, in part because they play it so safe when it comes to saving and investing. Yet those women are more likely to live longer, which creates a strong need for adequate retirement planning.
There's a way around this, though, and none of it involves going far out of your comfort zone. Yao recommends that women play it safe when they can anticipate disruptive life events, but once they're feeling stable, a financial planner can help build a more potentially lucrative portfolio. Investing may seem opaque and a bit overwhelming, but there's a lot of help available to guide newbies of all stripes through it.

As I read the story about Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, in the Dec/Jan issue (page 20), I saw the picture of the Shiny Brite ornaments. I thought, Those look familiar. I realized I have some. They have been in my family for my 71 years and I don’t know how much longer. They go on my tree every year! Thank you for the article and for your wonderful magazine.
KAY LEFEVER Glenwood, IA
I read “Volunteer Vacation” in the Oct/Nov issue (page 54) and was inspired. What a wonderful way to see the world or the States! The quilting story was served up like a batch of Momma’s home-baked bread on Sunday (page 36).
I could picture all the beautiful patchwork quilts and fabric galore clearly in my mind’s eye. It’s nice to see the crazy-fun things others do, like the pumpkin races (page 10). And thanks to Jason for using his photography to help save the manatees (page 24). Country is chock-full of good, and has so much variety. I love it! Thanks so much for producing such a wonderful, soul-filling magazine.

Construction will begin this spring on a new commercial vehicle inspection station east of Terrace, which will improve safety for drivers along the highway corridor.
A construction contract was awarded to IDL Projects Inc. to build the inspection station, which will replace the former station that was decommissioned when a roundabout was built at the intersection of highways 16 and 37.
The new inspection station will incorporate intelligent transportation system (ITS) technology, including weigh-in-motion, making it more efficient than the former station.
Weigh-in-motion reduces reporting requirements while enhancing compliance on the Highway 16 corridor. This technology checks the height, weight and safety credentials of vehicles registered with the Province through Weigh2GoBC that are travelling at highway speeds, without vehicles having to leave the highway. This project includes one weigh-in-motion site on Highway 16.
Other ITS technologies will include automatic vehicle-identification to verify a vehicle’s credentials and allow it to bypass the inspection station if certain requirements are met, as well as over-height detectors and a tire anomaly and classification system, which improves safety by detecting missing or underinflated tires.
Long-haul commercial drivers will also benefit from additional parking spaces and rest areas. Flush toilets with running water will be open during office hours, supplemented by pit toilets that are always accessible. Both local and commercial drivers will see improved mobility across the highway corridor and a decrease in traffic disruptions and delays with the new station located further away from the Highway 16 and 37 roundabout.
The facility will include parking for the public, staff and oversized vehicles and will support multiple services, including:
- short-term truck parking (five stalls);
- overnight truck parking (10 stalls);
- refrigeration unit plug-ins;
- Wi-Fi; and
- oversized vehicle staging for inter-regional transport trips.
The $34.2-million project is jointly funded by Transport Canada and the Province, with Transport Canada providing $15 million and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure providing $19.2 million.
The project is slated for completion in late 2024.

Greenville man killed after crashing into utility pole
The Greenville News
An 70-year-old Greenville man has died after crashing into a utility pole Saturday night, according to the Greenville County Coroner's Office.
The Coroner's Office identified the man Sunday as William T. Burnett of Kay Drive.
The crash happened shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday, the Coroner's Office said.

Burnett was extricated from the scene on Crestfield Road near Myron Lane and transported to Greenville Memorial Trauma Center, where he later died, the Coroner's Office said.


The hype and buzz around artificial intelligence and machine learning are intimidating the developer community. Machine learning and deep learning are different from other technology waves of the recent past. The combination of mathematics, statistics, data, algorithms and programming is overwhelming to even those self-taught developers who take pride in embracing any new technology.
But, the traditional way of approaching machine learning and artificial intelligence is set to change. Developers will be able to infuse artificial intelligence into applications without having to deal with the complexity involved in implementing machine learning models. They will be able to train sophisticated models without transforming into a data scientist.
Google recently announced Cloud AutoML, a service that lets developers train machine learning algorithms with custom data without having to choose the algorithms and building a model. Google is not the first to bring this to the public cloud. Last year Microsoft announced CustomVision.ai, a computer vision API that delivers the same promise as Google Cloud AutoML service. Clarifai, a New York-based AI startup offers a similar service to its customers.
So, what’s the big deal about custom cognitive computing?
Today, AI can be consumed in two forms – 1) cognitive APIs, and 2) custom ML models. Cognitive APIs offer computer vision, speech, translation, text analytics as cloud-hosted APIs. IBM Watson, Google Cloud ML APIs, Microsoft Cognitive Services and Amazon AI APIs are examples of such hosted APIs. Any developer with the basic understanding of consuming REST API can invoke these services to add intelligence to her application. But these services come with a limitation – they are trained on generic datasets. That means while computer vision API can identify a car as an object, it cannot detect its make and model. If the developer is building an application that has to precisely determine the car make and model, these APIs won't work.
To build such a niche, precise machine learning model, the developer has to create a massive dataset of cars, label each of them with the make and model details and train a highly complex convolutional neural network. This also involves steps like pre-processing the dataset, cleaning the dataset and normalizing it before training the neural network. Depending on the size of the dataset, she will have to use GPU-based machines to accelerate the training process. Once the model is thoroughly trained and evaluated, it can be ported to mobile devices or edge computing appliances for inference.
Training such a complex machine learning model demands advanced data science skills along with expensive infrastructure. These are the key barriers to implementing machine learning and artificial intelligence.
Custom cognitive computing takes a middle path by bringing the ease of cognitive computing to training custom models. With this API, developers can upload labeled data to the cloud and iteratively train the model to achieve accuracy. Once the model is ready, it is exposed as REST API, which can be consumed like any other cognitive service. The drawback with this approach is that the trained model cannot be exported to different environments. Scenarios that need low-latency and offline inference cannot rely on custom cognitive APIs.
Microsoft and Google are competing to win the mindshare of ML developers. Apart from custom computer vision APIs, both the platforms are expected to launch additional cognitive services including custom video, text, translation, and speech services.
Public cloud vendors are moving aggressively to democratize machine learning, which is making the technology accessible to developers. This is also resulting in reducing the learning curve involved in acquiring AI and ML skills.

Gold Brown Rust Elegant Victorian Beaded Christmas Holiday Pine and Fruit Vertical Door Swag Wreath
SOLD ON ETSY. Please shop for similar items. This was a one-of-a-kind that cannot be remade. I may be able to make something similar if you want to contact me. Review as follows:
Laura on Nov 19, 2020
Absolutely gorgeous!! Perfect addition to my 1920’s home!!
You will want to look at all the photos for full appreciation of this elegant Victorian styled beaded bow vertical door swag for Christmas wreath or holiday home decor. These are great as door accents that are not overwhelming, or use on narrow wall interior accents, or even bridal decorations! A 10 inch gold glittered poinsettia on pine cone laden artificial pine swags is accented gold glittery ferns, fruit and berries, glittered fronds with a smaller gold poinsettias in the middle and bottom of the lower part of the swag.
The signature bow consists of 3 ribbons including a 2.5 inch brown and gold wired ribbon, a 1.25 inch gold sheer ribbon, and a narrow metallic gold 1/8 inch ribbon. The widest 2 ribbons are finished with 5.5 inch rust and gold fringe that includes some large unusual coin beads, a shorter 3 inch rust and gold faceted teardrop fringe . The fringes are topped front and back with a gold sequined trim and an antique gold and brown scalloped fancy trim.
Length is 32 inches long, 12 inches wide at the wides point and about 5 inches deep. The bow is about 20 inches long including the beaded fringe..
I am told my pieces are very well constructed. After the stems are secured into place, they are wrapped in ribbon where everything comes together so as to NOT scratch your doors and walls. It comes with a hanger on the back and ships in a sturdy box you can store it in for years to come on off season times.
Long and sleek, we sell lots of this style for door and narrow wall decorations. A great way to add a brilliance of color, texture and interest to a room or home with a strong Victorian accent. It's all about the details. Recommended for indoor use in a sheltered area. Direct sun will damage any styrofoam berries and fade the colors.
Shipping costs and upgrades based on weight to your zip code are available in your cart. See all our door swags here or all our home decor here.

In 1997 Maury Yeston and Peter Stone memorialised the event by creating the show which focuses on the lives and hopes of the passengers and crew.
Bringing the production to the stage is a creative team consisting of Kings CEO Paul Woolf, artistic director Jack Edwards with Charlotte Alldridge and John Paul McCrohon directing, musical director Andrew Woodford, and choreographer Jacqueline Willis.
John Paul McCrohon said: ‘We are so thrilled to have assembled a truly wonderful cast from across the south who are already bringing a remarkable energy to the rehearsal room.
‘Our open auditions attracted some of the finest talents from our area’s abundance of top companies but also allowed us to discover a large number of exciting talents never before seen on the Kings stage, from those in the midst of or fresh from performing arts training to those making their theatrical debuts in this very special production.
‘This extraordinary adult cast of all ages and levels of experience feels truly representative of the wide variety of those who boarded the RMS Titanic in 1912 – and we consider it our privilege to tell their story in this epic, emotive musical.
‘We now await with great anticipation our final audition session at which we will be casting two teams of children to make our on-board community complete.’
Further auditions for under-18s take place next month.
The show runs from April 11-24. Tickets are available at kingsportsmouth.co.uk/titanic.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
This Sunday, October 4, is the last day to REGISTER TO VOTE or to UPDATE YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION if you have moved since you last voted. Registering online is easy and takes a few minutes. All that is required is a valid state identification and a computer.
How to Register to Vote Online
If you don't have a state identification, you can apply using a PDF form that you can mail or drop off at the local Division of Elections office.
If you're not sure whether or not you need to update your information, you can check your voter registration status online.
The Alaska Division of Elections commissioned this image of my favorite Alaska corvid, the raven, and several other Alaska critters, to illustrate the state’s Official Election Pamphlets and “I Voted” stickers in 2018. Pat Race of Juneau is the talented illustrator. NALIGAANIKTUNA!” means “I voted!” in Northern Inupiaq. If you need assistance in voting in Spanish, Tagalog, or one of the several Alaska Native languages spoken in Alaska, go here for help.
If you or someone you know needs assistance with registering to vote, applying to vote by absentee ballot, or getting additional information on how to vote this year, they can call 1-866-954-8683 for assistance.
Vote by Mail
Alaskans have the choice this upcoming November to either vote in person or vote by mail from home. Alaska is a "no excuse" absentee state, meaning any Alaskan can request to have their ballot mailed to their home. Voting by mail is a safe, convenient, and secure way to vote.
Visit absenteeballotapplication.alaska.gov to apply. You will need your driver's license or state identification on hand. (Note that the application is a little easier from your computer rather than your smart phone.)
Learn About the Candidates and Issues
2020’s Official Election Pamphlets will shortly be in your mailboxes. However, the Division is already mailing absentee ballots starting October 2. If you want to learn more about the candidates and the issues that will be on your ballot, you can visit the website here.
Thank you for your attention to this message! As always, please call or email with any thoughts, ideas, or concerns.

FAQ – Spray nozzles
Is it necessary to have a filtration for my nozzle system?
Which filtration do I need for my nozzle?
Which filter fineness is necessary for my nozzle?
Which materials are available?
Which are the most common spray characteristics?
What is a spray angle?
Which is the ideal distance for the spraying?
What kind of pump can I use for my nozzle system?
How can I adjust the nozzles to my already existing pump?
What is the best nozzle choice for the washing procedure?
Which nozzles can I apply for the surface threatment?
Do you have eductors as well?
Which air nozzles can you offer?
If I have a ventilator for air supplement for the nozzles, can it be enough?
No, it is not enough, you need a compressor to operate the air nozzles.
What kind of tank cleaning heads should I use?
If you would like to rinse your tank, a static ball is enough. If you need more powerful washing, then you need a rotating tank cleaning head.
How a rotating cleaning head operates?
The medium itself drives it, so-called aqua motor, there is no electric or pneumatic motor.
Can you supply FDA, ATEX, 3.1 certificates to the cleaning heads?
Yes, we can, please check the catalogue, we indicate the available certificates at every type.
What kind of pneumatic atomizers can you supply?
We can supply normal and commonly used atomizers and special ones for the steel industry.
When should I change my nozzles?
If you have a pressure loss in the system and at the same time the efficiency of the washing it not enough, you should change the nozzles, because their bore diameter has been increased due to the wearing.
How can I fix a nozzle to the pipe?
Every case you need a bore to your pipe to pass the medium to the nozzle.
Then either you can use threaded nozzle, or you can weld a nipple and fix the nozzle with a retaining nut onto it or you can use different clamps (with clips or with screw).
Is it important to check the pipe diameter for the nozzles or it is the same which pipe diameter I use?
You always have to check your total flow rate and you have to choose your pipe diameter to the total flow rate. And it is true for your pump as well.
If the nozzle spray characteristic is not perfect anymore, what can be the problem?
Problem can be the not proper pump. If the pump is not proper, for example smaller than requested, the nozzle won’t have a stabile and solid spray characteristic it will operate and seem to be like an “umbrella”. Or is your nozzles have been worn, the bore diameter will be bigger and the pump cannot supply enough medium and flow rate anymore.
What is the overlapping?
The nozzles have to be installed always with overlapping which means that they have to overlap each other in 25-33%. This is true for the full cone and for the flat jet nozzles as well.
Why is the overlapping necessary?
Because on the two sides of the nozzles there is less medium, and we compensate it with the overlapping in order to have equivalent medium distribution on the surface.
Can you design complete systems?
Yes, we can. We plan complete nozzle-pump systems with filtration, with piping and armatures. We undertake the complete designing, engineering and in case of need the installation as well.

Offset Faces Three Charges Over Georgia Arrest
Offset has been charged following his arrest in Georgia last summer.
The Clayton County District Attorney’s Office filed three charges against the Migos rapper in February following an incident in July 2018 where he was arrested for allegedly making an illegal lane change.
According to TMZ, Offset faces a felony charge for firearms possession by a convicted felon, along with misdemeanor charges for marijuana possession and an improper lane change.
A felony charge of possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime has been dropped. Offset pleaded not guilty last month and is scheduled to appear in court in May.
Offset’s lawyer, Drew Findling, believes the rapper was targeted because he’s rich, successful, and black. “It’s a common theme. We’re talking about a young, African-American man driving a shiny, beautiful luxury car and clad in designer clothes and watches and jewelry,” Findling previously told TMZ. “Unfortunately people in his genre become a target for law enforcement who think that lifestyle is connected to some illegal activity … and that is a sad statement.”

You know when you want to count the number of occurrences of a specific word in a document and you type in "Ctrl F"? I wanted to do that during Tuesday action, because it seemed like the word "resilient" was spoken and written so often I was certain it would be a record.
And boy were the S&P 500 and Nasdaq resilient. Oh, and big-cap tech was, as well. But that's where the resiliency ended.
Small caps had their worst day in more than six weeks. Breadth was the worst since then, as well. I even heard someone say that "every stock has gone up." I suppose he hadn't looked at the oil stocks. Or the natural gas stocks. Or the banks, which are down on the year. And heck, some industrials are languishing, as well. And surely he hadn't looked at U.S. Steel (X) , had he?
Speaking of the banks, I still think the Bank Index will get oversold enough and bounce off that $108 area, but can you call that a good chart? Can you say this group has "gone up," when if you bought it in early December you are flat?
And I am certain someone will argue that Boeing (BA) has its own unique problems (it does), but is this a stock that has "gone up"? I am not much of a fan of giant tops like this when there is so much news surrounding the name. I mean, who doesn't know Boeing's problems? You have to have been living under a rock not to know. If you wanted to sell, wouldn't you have sold already?
So, yes, a break of this area of $280-$300 would look ugly, but I am inclined to wonder if the break, should we get it, turns out to be the culmination of selling rather than the beginning of it. It would depend on how hysterical folks got if it got down there. Hysteria in down-and-out stocks tends to mark a low, not a new fresh leg of a decline.
Tuesday's underlying breadth was poor, which keeps the McClellan Summation Index flat, as it has been for weeks. Two weeks ago it tried to head down, but got saved last week. Even then it could not turn upward. And now it needs breadth to be positive again to keep it from rolling over.
Perhaps it is just that the market ran out of upside momentum by getting overbought. But the number of stocks making new lows expanded greatly on Tuesday. There are now the most new lows in almost a month for both Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange.
Finally the Investor's Intelligence bulls could not quite get themselves over 60%. They managed 59.4%, which is the highest reading since we saw 58.9% two weeks ago and prior to that 61.8% as we headed into October of 2018. What's clear is in the last two days the resilience in the market is narrowing, not expanding, and that makes it hard for me to love the market here.


The discrete sources method is an efficient and powerful tool for solving a large class of boundary-value problems in scattering theory. A variety of numerical methods for discrete sources now exist. In this book, the authors unify these formulations in the context of the so-called discrete sources method. The key features include: comprehensive presentation of the discrete sources method; original theory - an extension of the conventional null-field method using discrete sources; practical examples that demonstrate the efficiency and flexibility of elaborated methods (scattering by particles with high aspect ratio, rough particles, nonaxisymmetric particles, multiple scattering); and, a list of discrete sources programmes available via the Internet.

Retail sales rose +0.3% in November from the previous month, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This was slightly less than expected but an improvement from the -0.3% decline in October. Year-over-year, retail sales were up +3.7%.
The overall impact of Hurricane Sandy on this report is unclear. However auto sales were particularly strong, rising +1.4% from the prior month and +5.4% year-over-year. Excluding this category, retail sales were flat in November. However, gas stations were a drag on the report, as sales plunged -4.0% from the previous month thanks to falling gas prices.
Furniture sales were very strong, rising +1.0% from October and +6.2% year-over-year. And sales of electronics jumped +2.5% from October. However, this was likely due to holiday shopping as electronic sales were down -1.0% from the same month in 2011.
This chart below from Calculated Risk Blog shows the year-over-year change in retail sales, excluding gasoline, over the last 20 years. You can see that while sales are still improving, the rate of growth has recently been decelerating:

Tim Ciccotta reports at Breitbart:
A feminist academic journal published a hoax paper based on Adolph Hitler's “Mein Kampf” that had been rewritten with feminist buzzwords.
As a part of a wide-ranging hoax against various academic journals, Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay, and Peter Boghossian submitted a reimagining of Adolph Hitler's Mein Kampf to a feminist journal for publication.
The team of hoaxers submitted a version of "Mein Kampf" that had been rewritten from the perspective of an intersectional feminist.
The paper, which was titled, "Our Struggle Is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism," received strong praise from its reviewers in academia.
"The reviewers are supportive of the work and noted its potential to generate important dialogue for social workers and feminist scholars," the journal’s co-editor-in-chief said upon first review.

When it comes to the vagina, there are a lot of myths and misconceptions. Some people, for example, believe that vaginas can lose their elasticity and become loose forever. That’s not actually true!
Did you know your vagina is elastic? This means it can stretch to accommodate things coming in (such as a penis or sex toy) or going out (like a baby)! But it won’t take long for your vagina to snap back to its previous shape. Your vagina may become slightly looser as you age or have children, but overall, the muscles expand and retract just like a rubber band.
What Causes Your Vagina to Become Loose?
As you start turning 40, you may begin to see a change in your vagina’s elasticity. That’s because you are entering your perimenopausal stage and your estrogen levels will begin to drop. A loss of estrogen means your vaginal tissue will become:
- less acidic
- less stretchy or flexible
These changes may become more noticeable once you reach full menopause. Aging does not mean you lose your beauty or youth, with proper treatment and care you can be able to take back what was rightfully yours and empower your sexual confidence in the bedroom.
Childbirth is a natural, beautiful, and amazing thing, Bringing your baby into the world requires you to make a lot of sacrifices, especially with your body. It’s natural for your vagina to change after a vaginal delivery. After all, your vaginal muscles stretch in order to let your baby pass through the birth canal and out of your vagina’s entrance.
After your baby is born, you may notice that your vagina feels slightly looser than its usual form but don’t worry, that’s completely normal. Your vagina should start to snap back a few days after giving birth, although it may not return to its original shape completely. With multiple childbirths, your vaginal muscles are more likely to lose a little bit of elasticity.
This may cause you to lose confidence in your body especially when you want to be intimate with your partner.

The 3DVAR filter is prototypical of methods used to combine observed data with a dynamical system, online, in order to improve estimation of the state of the system. Such methods are used for high dimensional data assimilation problems, such as those arising in weather forecasting. To gain understanding of filters in applications such as these, it is hence of interest to study their behaviour when applied to infinite dimensional dynamical systems. This motivates study of the problem of accuracy and stability of 3DVAR filters for the Navier-Stokes equation.
We work in the limit of high frequency observations and derive continuous time filters. This leads to a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) for state estimation, in the form of a damped-driven Navier-Stokes equation, with mean-reversion to the signal, and spatially-correlated time-white noise. Both forward and pullback accuracy and stability results are proved for this SPDE, showing in particular that when enough low Fourier modes are observed, and when the model uncertainty is larger than the data uncertainty in these modes (variance inflation), then the filter can lock on to a small neighbourhood of the true signal, recovering from order one initial error, if the error in the observations modes is small. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the theory.


Royal Enfield is currently believed to be working on more than one prototype EV and is testing it in the world and in India
Demand for electric vehicles is constantly rising in the country and with emission norms all set to get even more strict, many auto brands are currently working on expanding their EV portfolios in the market. Following the trend, Royal Enfield is working on many new projects and is likely to launch its first electric motorcycle by 2025.
The brand has been swiftly making progress in the field and is accelerating its process over the past few months. In the due course, Royal Enfield recently announced fresh hiring for new talent to work for its technology centres in India and UK.
In addition to this, Royal Enfield is also testing some prototype EV products in different parts of the world. While the brand is not rushing with any of the R&D stages, it is expected to launch its first electric motorcycle by 2025.
If the brand’s claims are to be believed, the teams are not picking up generic electric kits available in the market and are developing a brand new product that falls in line with other RE vehicles and will not only boast impressive practicality and performance but will also have a similar character and reliability.
Furthermore, Royal Enfield is currently expecting India to be one of its major markets across the globe for electric products. Electric vehicles are currently being considered significantly cheaper to run when compared to ICE vehicles. The rising fuel prices and stringent emissions norms are soon expected to further take a toll on the sales of ICE vehicles in the country
Royal Enfield is also working on multiple 650cc bikes that will soon make their debut in the country. These include the upcoming Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, and the Super Meteor 650. In addition to this, the new Scrambler 650 was also spied testing in the country for the first time. If reports are to be believed, the Scrambler 650 will make its debut somewhere next year.
