The giant retailer Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) continued to strengthen its growing businesses when, in a quick turnaround, it sold its entire stake in Yihaodian to the Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com (NASDAQ:JD). This deal is another step in a process that Wal-Mart started last year to accelerate growth in emerging revenue streams by restructuring brick-and-mortar operations domestically and worldwide and expanding its e-commerce business.
In its physical locations operations, Wal-Mart made some restructuring decisions that received plenty of media coverage and aimed to improve traditional stores' business profitability. Earlier this year, Wal-Mart announced that it reviewed its entire store business and decided to close the Wal-Mart Express brand with its 102 locations and additional 52 stores in the US and Puerto Rico. Internationally, the company closed 60 underperforming stores in Brazil and 55 small loss-making stores in other Latin American locations. In Asia, the company set a target to open up to 50 new locations in India while, in Japan, it will remodel the stores instead of opening new ones. The rationale behind the broad restructuring is to strengthen the core business to enable a safer journey by expanding the e-commerce business, which, in my opinion, is the big story in Wal-Mart's future.
It is clear that while Wal-Mart operates an enormous and fruitful brick-and-mortar stores business worldwide, the direction the company is taking is toward e-commerce due to its benefits compared with physical locations. This is, of course, a long and painful process to go through. However, it is inevitable to create a long-term sustainable business in today's world.
Wal-Mart's e-commerce efforts are not new, but there are a few actions the management took to accelerate the shift towards e-commerce and encourage growth in that segment. Last year, as the CurrentC launch was delayed, Wal-Mart kicked off Wal-Mart Pay, an interim solution to provide the necessary e-payment capabilities the company was looking for to improve customer experience and optimize the payment process in its physical locations. Wal-Mart Pay is not as sleek and easy as Apple Pay (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android Pay, or other services, but it provides a good temporary solution until Wal-Mart decides whether to adopt CurrentC in the future. As the e-payments market grows worldwide, Wal-Mart cannot afford itself to stay behind no matter what the reason is, and by launching Wal-Mart Pay, the company demonstrates how committed it is to implement e-payment capabilities that could be later leveraged to support its e-commerce business.
To support a potential e-commerce growth, Wal-Mart tries to tackle the major issues like shipping costs, shipping speed, execution logistics, and pricing. To address the shipping process problems, Wal-Mart decided to increase packages each delivery carrier carries to reduce cost per package, introduced a two-day shipping service to compete with Amazon Prime (NASDAQ:AMZN), moved more inventory to massive warehouses around the U.S. to improve shipping speed and item availability across the country, and chose an aggressive pricing strategy to compete with other online platforms.
Outside of the U.S., Wal-Mart gave a high priority to the Chinese e-commerce market as the e-commerce space grows there and, coupled with greater demand for a broad variety of goods, could boost e-commerce revenues. To do that, Wal-Mart invested a few years ago in a small Chinese e-commerce vendor called Yihaodian, thinking that combining its strong brand and unmatchable retail business knowledge with Yihaodian's knowledge of the Chinese e-commerce market will result in a great success. Last year, Wal-Mart completed the Yihaodian acquisition when it bought the remaining 49% of the company for $760M. However, the company failed to challenge the market leader Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) and JD.com, which together control more than 80% of the e-commerce market compared with only 1% held by Yihaodian. As mentioned above, Wal-Mart sold Yihaodian to JD.com for $1.5B in stocks that will entitle Wal-Mart to a 5% stake in the Chinese e-commerce player.
Both companies will benefit greatly from this deal. Wal-Mart could leverage JD's extensive operations in China to offer more items online to more users than it did before and introduce Sam's Club online to the JD user base in China. JD could increase its variety of imported goods and expand to southern and eastern China through Yihaodian. Wal-Mart will open the Sam's Club online site in China to JD.com, and JD will be responsible for the fulfillment process through its nationwide warehouses and delivery networks. The Yihaodian deal will allow Wal-Mart to focus on its retail strengths and allow JD to manage the local Chinese logistics, which will allow Wal-Mart to expand in China, not independently, but through JD.
Wal-Mart's latest actions in the e-commerce space aimed to grow e-commerce business worldwide and compete directly with Amazon and Alibaba. In the long run, I believe Wal-Mart will grow to become a significant player in the e-commerce market globally, and its recent actions reaffirm this thesis. Beside the solid balance sheet and dividend yield, I like Wal-Mart as a long-term investment, which I expect will grow by accelerating its e-commerce business. I currently hold Wal-Mart's April 2021 bonds, and I am planning to open an equity position gradually.

Think you have what it takes to go to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology? Let’s be honest, few do but if you’re interested in testing the waters, MIT will soon offer free online certification courses to outside students who complete them!
How will the interactive e-learning venture, known as MITx, work? Here’s the breakdown: MITx will give anyone free access to an online-course platform. Users will include students currently enrolled at MIT as well as external learners like high school seniors and engineering majors at other colleges. They’ll watch videos, answer questions, interact with teachers and other students globally, experience stimulated labs, participate in quizzes and take tests. Still have your doubts? MIT Provost L. Rafael Reif assures interested students, "This is not MIT light. This is not an easier version of MIT," he said. "An MITx learner, anywhere they are, for them to earn a credential they have to demonstrate mastery of the subject just like an MIT student does."
One slight catch is that although MITx courses will carry no cost, the institute plans to charge a “modest” fee for the certificates. (The exact amount is still undecided.) The first course will begin around spring of 2012 but MIT has yet to announce the course. Does this opportunity spark your interest? Should other prestigious institutions – Harvard, Stanford, Brown, etc. – offer similar initiatives? Let us know what you think.

In honor of Stress Awareness Day, here are 5 things you can do to be a little more relaxed.
- Listen to some music: Sit down by the fire, in your beach chair by the ocean, or even in your own backyard. Turn on some relaxing tunes and take a little mind vacation.
- Drink some tea: Whether it’s stress at your desk or anxiety at home, green tea will help sooth your nerves. Brew some up and sip ’til the sun goes down. You will feel relaxed and stress free in no time.
- Do some yoga: Doing yoga will not only help you sleep at night, it will make you feel more relaxed and energized throughout the day. Cultivate habits that relax the mind. Namaste.
- Eat some sweets: Mood food can really alter your state of mind. If you’re looking for a quick fix out of your funk, nibble on some dark chocolate squares, chew on some gum, or swig a spoonful of honey. Yum.
- Be positive: There is nothing more negative than negativity itself. Catch yourself when you are feeling unkind, and remind yourself that life is good. Staying positive and exuding those vibes will only make any situation a better one.
Drink, eat, do, listen and be. Those are the 5 things that will keep you relaxed, today and forever.

Chemical Blaze Hurts San Carlos Firefighters
A three-alarm fire that turned into a hazardous-materials incident sent three San Carlos firefighters to a hospital yesterday.
Belville said the fire began when a container of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) exploded as it was being heated by some employees.
Two firefighters complained of breathing problems and were sent to San Mateo County Hospital where they were kept overnight for observation. A nursing supervisor at the hospital said both were in good condition.
When firefighters determined that a chemical was involved, a hazardous-materials team was called. During its setup, a third firefighter was accidentally injured, Belville said.


A Tour Of The Porsche Museum In Stuttgart, Germany
Last month, I flew to Germany with a buddy to do a European Delivery on his new BMW 435i M Sport, and we also toured the BMW Museum in Munich. Being car guys, we decided we’d try to see both the Porsche and Mercedes Museums while on the trip. So the following day we filled up with gas and headed to Stuttgart Germany:
Gas in Germany is VERY expensive (we’re talking roughly 8 bucks a gallon in US dollars).
Stuttgart is only about a two hour drive from Munich at Autobahn speeds. Soon we arrived at our first stop of the day – the Porsche Museum:
It sits across from both a sizable Porsche dealership (left), as well as a building which is part of Porsche’s manufacturing facilities in Stuttgart:
Our visit happened to coincide with a special exhibit the museum had going to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911:
The Porsche Museum was recently rebuilt (2009) and is located in the northern district of Zuffenhausen next to the company headquarters. It’s an extremely impressive facility that’s said to have cost 100 million euros. The interior looks extremely modern and is white everywhere:
In my previous article on the BMW Museum, I made the statement that old cars don’t really excite me that much – which is true. But something about Porsche is different – they have several classic models that I’d be happy to own and drive today. Like this early Porsche 356 America Roadster:
Or this gorgeous red Porsche 356C:
Much to my disappoint, they didn’t have any examples of the Porsche 356B on display – one of my favorite variants of the legendary 356. In fact, due to the 50th anniversary of the 911, most of the cars on display when we visited were 911 variants:
This “whale tail” 911 Turbo from the late 1980’s was an absolute favorite of mine growing up:
If I lived in a year-round warm weather part of the US, something like this 911 Turbo 3.8 would no doubt be my daily driver:
My very first German sports car when I was growing up was a 1987 Porsche 944 that my father bought for me back in college and I was REALLY hoping to see a 944 or two in the Porsche Museum. Alas, due to the 911 anniversary special exhibit, the closest I got to seeing one was this racing variant of the 924:
A display of some past Porsche engines:
The many trophies and awards the brand has garnered:
I was quite surprised to turn a corner and see this Porsche RS Spyder – a racing model.
Back in 2006 I covered an American LeMans Series race at Laguna Seca and saw the “#6” RS Spyder in action – my photos from that race:
Perhaps one of the greatest “super cars” ever made, the Porsche 959, was on display. It’s another car I dreamed about when I was kid in high school – never thought I’d ever get this close to one, much less see it in Stuttgart:
The museum also has a late model 911 convertible on display that visitors can actually get in and have their photos taken:
The museum also has a “historical archive/workshop” area:
Looking through the glass, I could see a couple of Porsche 356B models (yea!) and a white 924 or 944 up on the rack (double yea!). Alas, when I inquired about going in this area, I was told you have to have a special ticket to use on only special days, and they’re currently back logged/sold out for these tickets until 2014 (bummer).
Overall, I probably enjoyed visiting the Porsche Museum better than any of the three automobile museums I visited while in Germany. For me, there’s something special about Porsche….I’ll always have a soft spot for the brand. I’ll close the article with this photo of myself circa 1990 (I was 20 years old at the time) cleaning my beloved 1987 944:

A leaked Verizon document revealed information about some upcoming products as well as release dates for other devices – minus the release date for the next version of Apple’s iPhone .
The leaked document shows unannounced Samsung Galaxy Tab P8 which will have access to Verizon’s LTE based wireless network. This might be the 8.9 inch version of the Galaxy Tab that has been rumored in the past.
Apparently an unannounced BlackBerry Curve 9370 4G will also be making an appearance on September 8, along with the 4G LTE Xoom from Motorola. Another mystery phone, the Samsung Stratosphere, will also launch on the 8th, and is said to be a 4G Android 2.3 device. Some believe that this will be the successor to the Samsung Fascinate, a Verizon-branded Galaxy S variant. Then again, we’ve heard reports that the Galaxy S II will be called the Function for Verizon, so this one’s a bit of a question mark.
Motorola Droid Bionic 4G smartphone is due for release on September 8. The Bionic was first announced at CES last January for release last spring, but Motorola delayed its release due to issues with putting in the 4G technology. A successor to the LG Revolution phone, the LG Revolution 2, is due for release on October 20 from Verizon, according to the document.
Another handset set for a September 29 launch, supposedly designed specifically for the ladies: the HTC Bliss. The HTC Vigor, a replacement for the ThunderBolt, should hit shelves October 5.
Here’s the leaked image:


Democrats want to expand the role of government. Republicans want to shrink it. At least, that’s what their rhetoric says. The story becomes a bit harder to believe when looking at government spending statistics. Consider two presidents as an example. President A increased spending by $357 billion over the first seven years of his presidency. Over the same period, President B increased spending by around half as much, $160 billion. Who is President A? The legendary champion of small government, Ronald Reagan. President B? None other than the evil Kenyan dictator, Barack Obama himself.
Let’s look at a graph of total spending per capita over time (data from the BEA). I don’t see any clear party breaks. The one big slowdown in spending in the 1990s coincides with Clinton (a Democrat).
Breaking the data down by president makes the point even clearer. The table below shows how much spending per capita increased over each presidents tenure.
Note that Obama’s numbers are skewed by stimulus spending. Measuring from 2009 Q2 drops the increase to $153.
Overall, Republicans have held office for 36 years since 1953 and increased government spending per capita by $5310 during that time ($148 per year on average). Democrats were in power for 27 years and increased spending per capita by $3167 ($117 per capita). Not a single president in either party has actually reduced the size of government by this measure. A natural question is whether control of the senate or house is more important than the president. I didn’t calculate the numbers, but I doubt it would help the Republicans, who had control of the senate during the expansion in spending under both Reagan and Bush.
Bill McBride at Calculated Risk keeps a tally of public and private sector jobs added by president. By those numbers, Obama is the only president since Carter to decrease the total number of public sector jobs. Again, there is no clear relationship between party affiliation and number of jobs added.
On taxes, the picture looks strikingly different. Performing the same exercise shows that Republicans reduced taxes by $23 per capita per year, while Democrats increased taxes by $278 per capita per year. So maybe you could argue that the Republicans have kept half of their small government promise. But both parties clearly like to spend. At least the Democrats seem to care about paying for it.

Tropical islands, pure white beaches, palm trees, luxury yachts, rum and seafood …. what does The Caribbean mean to you? With more than 3000 islands, islets and cays there is too much to choose from. For first time visitors maybe Barbados, St Lucia or Antigua for a taste of what’s on offer then make a return trip somewhere different! The islands and Latin American countries bordering the Caribbean Sea stretch from Bermuda in the north down a 2000 mile chain to Suriname in the south.
The Caribbean is a diverse destination with many people returning time and again to different islands. The turquoise blue waters, sandy beaches and swaying palm trees are consistent throughout the region but the local culture, festivals, sports, activities and wildlife is extremely varied. You can hire a car and self drive in my destinations giving you the freedom to get out and explore.
Island hopping is popular with lots of the islands being close together with a great network of local flights, ferries, cruises and yachts. Countries which are formed by groups of island such as the Bahamas, Caymans, Virgin Islands or St Vincent and Grenadines offer great island hopping combinations without too much travel. There is a fast catamaran ferry service linking Dominica, Martinique, Guadeloupe and Saint Lucia.
Hot and sunny most of the year, The Caribbean is an ideal escape from colder climates. Hurricane season tends to be July – November but this does vary from island to island. December to March is particularly hot and dry, making it a fabulous wintersun destination. There are lots of private islands or exclusive villas with plunge pools if you would like a family get together, have a group of friends or simply want a luxury private getaway.
If you are looking for an overseas wedding, there are plenty of options here, some hotels include the wedding ceremony for free. It’s a perfect honeymoon destination too with swanky beach hotels and secluded island hideaways. If water sports are your thing whether it be wind surfing, fishing or sailing, there’s plenty of choice plus many Caribbean cruise options if you prefer to be on a ship visiting different islands.
Many of the islands are covered in lush forests and hide lakes, pools and waterfalls full of exotic plants and wildlife, particularly great for rainforest trails and natural history holidays are Dominica, Guadeloupe and Tobago.

Our Caribbean holiday to Antigua was fantastic!! The Inn at English Harbour was really beautiful, quiet and tranquil. Did some excellent snorkelling and a couple of tours as well. Absolutely perfect, certainly one of the best holidays we’ve had. Thank you so much for organising it, we’ll be back for more!
Iain Chessell – Antigua (August 2013)
Our honeymoon to Palm Island, in St Vincent and the Grenadines, was FANTASTIC. I think we are still recovering from too much sun, food and booze! The resort was excellent in every way, and everything went as smoothly as it could be from start to finish, we had zero problems throughout. The transfers were all spot on and handled efficiently, and the resort was top notch.
It was lovely to have Jules to sort everything out for us, and it certainly meant that we could relax and get on with organising the other parts of our wedding safe in the knowledge that our honeymoon was being taken care of for us. I would definitely recommend using Jules’s services if you would like to sort out your holiday and be secure in the knowledge that all of the details will be professionally and quickly sorted for you with minimal fuss. We would certainly use Jules in the future!
Lisa & Iain Hale – St Vincent & Grenadines (December 2012)
Julie, thank you so much for helping us choose fantastic accomodation base for exploring the stunning Cayman Islands. Before we left you gave us great advice and were very patient with us, even after we looked and you spent hours searching for us, for us then to choose the first place you recommended!! We had a truly magical time and the organisation from start to end ensured that it was hassle free for us!
We went to Stingray City was was very interesting! It was scary to start off with having so many stingray swimming so close and I was worried about stepping on one but it was fine, I ended up feeding one, holding one and giving one a kiss!!!! Was great fun. Lee and I went for a dive, this was Lee’s first dive which he loved, I have my open water and he couldn’t stop talking about it for days!! We then went to Little Cayman for a night and stayed at Pirates Point resort which is quite infamous over there! We went snorkelling out there near to bloody bay and the 6000ft drop off which was AMAZING! Such an experience, even if we were only snorkelling, can’t even begin to imagine how great it would have been diving! We had some chill time with a turtle, at one point I got so close I had to try and swim backwards but he got used to us and we swam with him for a bit, completely natural. We had the most fantastic time away, it was pure paradise! The ocean was many colours of turquoise and the beach was beautiful and sandy. We LOVED Sunshine suites, staff were very friendly, accomodation clean and the food at the Sunshine Grill was great and affordable. The beach was only 2 minutes away and we enjoyed finding slightly less crowded places only a 5 minute walk away. Snorkeling was great only a few yards into the sea and was just great! While on the beach one day Lee proposed … Both very very happy and the most stunning place to have got engaged at! Thank you again for everything. Thank you so much for all the hardwork that you put in and helped us to have the most fantatsic and memorable holiday i could have hoped for!

About Joan Sebastian
Joan Sebastian was born Jose Manuel Figueroa. At the tender age of eleven, young Jose would be sent to Morelos to live in a monastery. During his stay with the monks, it occurred to Jose that he might want to become a priest. He studied assiduously for many years, but he would eventually come to the conclusion that his true passion was really music. It was clear to everyone around him that Jose had musical talent, but he would enter into the competitive Latin pop music industry entirely by chance. During his time as an administrative assistant at an Oaxtepecan resort, Figueroa would happen to meet Angelica Maria, a well-known Mexican actress. During a brief conversation, Maria inquired whether Figueroa could sing. He was happy to show off his impressive vocals, and Maria immediately gave him the contact information for Eduardo Magallenes, a music producer. The rest is history.
After assuming the stage name of Joan Sebastian, the young singer would release his first record entitled Pedro Parrandas in 1974. This landmark album would quickly win Sebastian a loyal following. He would be prolific, releasing single after single and album after album, gaining the attention of more and more people in Mexico and around the globe. Sebastian's mesmerizing and powerful vocals and irresistible tunes would gradually help the singer become established as one of the foremost popular ranchera singers in the world. Even now, the inimitable Joan Sebastian remains a household name for any fan of Latin music, and he has enriched the genre considerably. Whenever Joan Sebastian steps out on any of the world class stages he has become so familiar with, the audience simply loses their minds. Indeed, Sebastian possesses that highly sought-after ability to light up an audience as soon as he arrives.
With more than fifty unforgettable and catchy albums recorded throughout his long and impressive career, Joan Sebastian has rightfully garnered massive amounts of adoration and critical acclaim in his native Mexico and around the world. His biggest hit tracks will of course be known to his diehard fans, but the newcomers to Sebastian's fan base would do well to check out songs such as "Secreto de Amor", "Golondrinas Viajeres", "Disename", "Eso Y Mas"," El Honor", and "Tatuajes". These singles and more have topped charts in Mexico and across the globe, and there is clearly no denying that Joan Sebastian is one of the best and most adored Latin pop singers in the history of contemporary music. Once he takes his place onstage, the infectious enthusiasm of his fans creates a high energy atmosphere in which anything can happen. There is truly no feeling comparable to experiencing Joan Sebastian whipping the crowd into a frenzy with one of his most danceable hits, only to scale it back with a tender and passionate ballad that could move a heart of stone. His ability to bring out all levels of emotion in his audience is what makes Joan Sebastian one of the greatest musical artists and live performers around today. Come see what it's like to hear someone who has been entertaining audiences for more than a generation.
When the young Jose Figueroa started his professional career in earnest in 1977, he assumed his stage name based on the eastern Spanish Catalan pronunciation of the name John – hence "Joan" – and the locale of San Sebastian – hence "Sebastian".

UK BROADBAND providers like BT and Sky said they're 'ready to go' as millions of people work from home during the coronavirus pandemic.
There are fears networks won't cope with the extra traffic as government officials say up to a fifth of the UK's workforce could be sick during the deadly bug's height.
⚠ Read our coronavirus live blog for the latest news & updates
Many office workers have already been ordered to stay at home, with normally-busy train stations and major roads falling silent as commuters keep away.
And while some US network providers have announced measures to provide cheaper internet use for customers, no such plans are in place in Britain, the Daily Mail reports.
Despite that, company bosses say they're well prepared for those who will start working from home.
Officials at Sky say they're making plans for all eventualities that could arise from Covid-19 and the network is "resilient".
BT says its confident the network can handle the extra traffic as the volume of people using the service already spikes during the evening as millions head home to watch Netflix.
MOST READ IN NEWS
Bosses at Virgin Media also say they're "well prepared" and that the network is "built to withstand evening and weekend peaks".
O2 is investing millions of pounds every day to make sure the service is "as robust as possible", while Vodafone is giving all mobile customers free access to NHS UK online.
It comes as the death toll from the coronavirus reaches 21 in the UK and panic buyers strip supermarket shelves of items including toilet paper and dried pasta over fears of a lockdown.

GOP resolution rejects amnesty for illegals
Question of the Day
State Republican officials from across the country on Thursday will formally break with the desire of President Bush and other top Republican leaders to include amnesty and other benefits for illegal aliens in immigration-reform legislation.
So far, 47 members of the 168-member Republican National Committee have signed a resolution that unequivocally opposes the Bush-backed policy that would grant legal residency to millions of illegal aliens.
“My signing on to this resolution simply reflects the fact that we in the party around the country fear — and feel that no one in Washington is listening to, or cares about, what we feel about issues and policy,” said Terry Strine, chairman of the Delaware Republican Party. “This lets them know.”
Legitimization of illegal aliens was a key part of the Senate bill, jointly fashioned by Republican Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl of Arizona and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, that was defeated earlier this month.
The proposed RNC resolution does not address such issues as a temporary-workers program, the issuance of “green cards” and paths to citizenship — issues that helped derail the Senate bill — but instead calls for using all means necessary to secure the borders, including the regular Army as well as the National Guard.
The RNC’s Resolutions Committee is expected to approve the resolution at its Thursday session at the RNC annual summer meeting in Minneapolis-St. Paul, the site of next year’s Republican presidential-nominating convention. The resolution would then go to a floor vote on Friday by the full RNC membership, made up of an elected national committeeman and woman and the elected state chairman from each state and territory.
If passed, the resolution — already endorsed by state party chairmen from 14 states in the Northeast, Midwest, South and West — would put the party officially at odds with its national leadership, including a sitting Republican president, as well as the party’s Senate leaders and the national party’s general chairman, Florida Sen. Mel Martinez, handpicked for the office by Mr. Bush.
While Mr. Martinez had no comment on the resolution, Republican National Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan said the resolution represented no break with the party’s Washington leadership.
“The RNC has twice adopted resolutions supporting comprehensive immigration reform that were consistent with the positions of the president,” he said in a statement relayed by his spokesman, Tracey Schmitt. “Included in those resolutions was support for securing our borders as a priority. Nothing in this proposed resolution is inconsistent with past RNC positions; rather, it re-emphasizes the need to make border security a top priority.”
Those who endorsed the resolution say it expresses the overwhelming view of rank-and-file Republicans.
“In my case,” Mr. Strine, the Delaware chairman, told The Washington Times in an e-mail, “this means that our Delaware Republican activists, volunteers, officeholders, etc., have overwhelmingly told me by e-mail, phone calls, and in person that they are opposed to amnesty, and to many other provisions of the McCain/Kennedy/Bush ‘comprehensive immigration-reform bill’ as Washington insiders have called it.”
“This is a common-sense approach that most Republicans support. A comprehensive approach proved to be too divisive,” said Saul Anuzis, Michigan Republican chairman.
Alec Poitevint, a longtime national committeeman from Georgia and normally a reliable ally of the president’s and the RNC leadership, said that the resolution “is about grass-roots Republicans willing to tell our leaders how we feel about what they should do first on immigration.”
“If some see in this that we aren’t toeing the line 100 percent, then so be it,” he said.
The resolution, fashioned by Arizona Republican Chairman Randy Pullen, asserts that the “ability of millions of unidentified persons to illegally enter and remain in the United States presents a grave risk to the sovereignty” of the nation and the American people.

GameXplain: "Join the GameXplain crew as we play through the first 30-minutes of Skullgirls."
Not a huge fan of fighting games, but this looks pretty fun.
Dude, its awesome. My favorite fighter so far is Ms Fortune.
Isn't the first 30 minutes the same as the next 30 minutes? And pretty much the entire game?
I think the game looks cool, but i see a massive lost opportunity and its kind of the same with so many other fighter games (particularity 2D ones) they had the chance to make some awesome anime or Saturday morning cartoon animations in between the fights but instead they chose to put boring pictures and walls of text. The game could have been awesome (at least in my eyes) if they would have done that and it would have separated them from the other fighters that do same lame story modes. oh well:(

Fifty-eight farmers were arrested after they clashed with the police during a protest demanding compensation for their lands which were acquired for an affordable housing project, following which villagers blocked the Delhi-Saharanpur highway.
Fifty-eight farmers were arrested after they clashed with the police during a protest demanding compensation for their lands which were acquired for an affordable housing project, following which villagers blocked the Delhi-Saharanpur highway. SDM Loni Prem Singh Ranjan today said that the farmers had yesterday gheraod the area where construction vehicles were levelling the land for Avas Vikas housing scheme. The farmers were demanding compensation of their acquired lands and were asking authorities to revise the rates. The administration tried to mediate but the farmers stuck to their stand following which the authorities warned them that police would use force if they do not leave the area. The police used mild lathi-charge to disperse the crowd and the irate villagers resorted to stone-pelting. They also damaged a police vehicle.
The police arrested 58 farmers for taking the law in their hands and for obstructing government work. On getting information about the same, locals from five villages, who were agitating for compensation, gathered on the Delhi-Saharanpur highway and blocked it for at least one hour.
District Magistrate Ministhy S and Senior Superintendent of Police H N Singh reached the spot and calmed the agitators, assuring them about the release of those arrested. The farmers were released on personal bonds later last night.

While touring the Jewish quarter for the second time, we stopped here for some afternoon drinks. The staff were all very polite and helpful. Due to some rain showers we ended spending longer than planned here and as a result we tasted a good cross section of their flavoured vodkas while there. It's in a nice setting in the Szeroka "Street" square just beside the Monument.
Well worth a stop.

Mohasus said: Almost finishing it. Just had the whole story revealed. IMO, the worst 3D Zelda game for home consoles. But it still is a good game.

I've just entered the fouth dungeon. What a pity, when I saw the look of this temple I inmediately knew which one was the dungeon boss, it appeared in preliminary Skyward Sword trailers.

So reports a study just published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The paper, exploring nitrogen dynamics, found that untangling climate impacts from other factors can be difficult, even when scientists have access to decades of data on a forest's environmental conditions.
Co-author Dr. Gene E. Likens of the Cary Institute comments, "Understanding how climate change is shaping forests is critical. Our paper underscores the complexity of forest ecosystems, the legacy left by disturbance, and the difficulty in isolating climate impacts from the legacies of past disturbances."
The Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, is home to the longest, most complete record of watershed-ecosystem dynamics in the world. Its study sites have been measuring the environmental pulse of the forest for nearly half a century.
Because nitrogen is essential to plant growth and a potential pollutant in water, Hubbard Brook scientists have paid close attention to nitrate draining from the watershed. Their long-term records show that nitrate concentrations in streams are at a 46-year low, and ecosystem-wide loss of nitrate from the watershed has decreased by 90%.
The paper's authors, including two scientists from the Cary Institute and several from Princeton University, sought to reveal what was driving this shift in nitrogen dynamics. Among the variables explored were reductions in airborne nitrogen pollution, climate change (species shifts, warming soils, a longer growing season, and snowmelt changes) and landscape-level disturbance (logging, hurricanes).
A decline in airborne nitrogen pollution was not found, and the replacement of ~25% of the forest's sugar maples with American beech, a slow-decomposing species, accounted for only a modest reduction in nitrate export. Most surprisingly, despite five decades of warming, the authors did not find that a longer growing season resulted in increased vegetation growth and subsequent nitrogen demand.
They did identify a relationship between warmer winters, a decline in large snowmelt events, and a decrease in nitrate export. When nitrate has time to linger in the soil, it can be taken up by plants and microbes. And increases in soil temperature, combined with a shift in soil water flow patterns, explained about 40% of the nitrate decline.
But historical disturbance—not climate change—was the driving factor behind the shift in nitrogen dynamics seen at Hubbard Brook. Using hundreds of modeling scenarios, the authors found that 50-60% of the decrease in nitrogen export could be explained by extensive timbering that occurred in the White Mountains in the early twentieth century. Logging activity had a large influence on the amount of nitrogen in soils that persisted for decades.
The counterintuitive finding that nitrate export dropped when forest growth was decelerating underscores the legacy that landscape-scale disturbances leave on the forest nitrogen cycle. First author Susana Bernal of Princeton University comments, "Recognizing how present-day concerns such as climate change interact with historical patterns in ecosystems marks a major challenge in gauging the health of the planet."
With Likens concluding, "As far as the forest nitrogen cycle is concerned, we can't assess climate impacts, or determine accurate baselines for predictive models, without accounting for past disturbances."
This study was supported by a Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Science and lnnovation, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the A. W. Mellon Foundation.

SHEBOYGAN, WI — Conserving the planet and the resources we have is something that needs to be done all the time, not just on Earth Day, reported The Lakewood College Mirror.
Many of the things we do in our day-to-day lives can be done slightly differently to give a bigger positive impact on the environment, such as shopping, drinking coffee and getting to work, the article reported.
For example, about 60,000 plastic bags are used in the U.S. every five seconds, and buying the 99 cent (or less) reusable bags from many stores can save the Earth a sizable amount of trouble, according to the article.
Getting a reusable coffee mug can also save a lot of paper, and many coffee houses (such as Starbucks) give discounts for bringing in your own receptacle, the article stated.

- Years in Magic
My name is Andrew Beneteau and I've been doing magic for almost a year now and I've been flourishing for a couple of months. Without magic I would probably play golf and video games every day but now I play golf and do magic every day:)
How did you first get started in magic?
By watching a kids tv show called "spellz" when I was about 8 then after a while I gave it up. Then 1 year ago I watched david blaine's street magic special and I got back into it.
Which artists have inspired you the most in your work thus far?
The artists who inspire me so far are David Blaine because he is the one who got me into magic, Zach Meuller because I love his tricks, And finally Mathieu Bich because his effects my favourite effects to perform.
How often do you practice - how do you keep your skills (and mind) sharp?
I have a deck of cards with me everywhere, the only times I'm not practice card tricks and flouishes are when I'm golfing, eating or spending time with my family.
What advice would you give to new performers just starting today?
"Don't rage if you can't get a trick down"

Before rocking out to Motley Crue on Sunday, fans in P-G Pavilion will be grooving to the guitar work of Riverside High grad Keith Nelson and his band Buckcherry.
Nelson, a North Sewickley Township native, co-founded Buckcherry, the hard-rock quintet that cracked Billboard’s Top-10 pop chart this spring with the power ballad “Sorry.” Around that same time, the L.A.-based band promoted its album “15” with a performance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
Nelson talks here about touring with Motley Crue, and returning to Burgettstown where Buckcherry opened for Hinder and Papa Roach a year ago.
Question: How have things changed for Buckcherry since your last appearance here?
Answer: A lot has changed. We did over 300 shows in support of “15.” We went from an indie band to an arena band. We’re a 12-year overnight sensation.
Q: There was a large throng of Beaver Valley fans at your last Burgettstown concert. What kind of special feeling does it give you to play a hometown gig?
A: It’s really a great feeling. A lot of those people were on hand for some of the first shows I every played with the first band I was ever in, Stone Mona, back in Beaver Falls.
Q: What was the first Pittsburgh or Star Lake amphitheater concert you saw, and what do you remember most?
A: Oddly enough, the first show I ever saw at Star Lake was Motley Crue, and here we are opening for them. The first real show I ever saw was Donnie Iris. And B.E. Taylor opened the show. It was at CCBC. My Aunt Jeri took me. That’s the one I remember most.
Q: At what point growing up did you decide, ‘Hey, I’m going to try to become a rock star?
A: At one point it became obvious that it chose me! Sometime around the age of 18 or 19 I decided to give it a go so I committed to finishing college and once I graduated I moved to L.A. That was 15 years ago.
Q: Talk about the current tour. How do Buckcherry and Motley Crue complement each other?
A: It’s old school and new school, but its all rock ’n’ roll. There are a portion of our fans who remember the heyday of hair bands, and Motley Crue was at the top of the heap. We’ve got an audience with a lot of younger people who may not have been around for that, so the crowds have been a nice cross-section of young and not-so-young-anymore.
Q: Is there anything special that fans should prepare, expect or brace for when Buckcherry or Motley Crue take the stage Aug. 31?
A: We’ve always prided ourselves on a great live show. We’ve never needed explosions or fireworks to get our music across live. Fans should expect seeing five guys who really love their jobs doing what they do best.
Q: When the tour ends, what plans does your band have?
A: Most importantly our new record, “Black Butterfly,” comes out Sept. 16. This tour wraps on Aug. 31 in Pittsburgh, then we’re gonna take a week off, play the Jimmy Kimmel show in L.A. on Sept. 11, then take off on the next leg of our tour (with Avenged Sevenfold), which starts Sept. 13 and goes all the way through December.

posted Leah's response on the blog he runs for Galing.
“This is a statement from publisher Leah Angstman, who has published and is publishing a series of poetry chapbooks of the work of 91-year-old small press legend, Ed Galing. Leah is the founder of Propaganda Press that is now located in the Somerville/Cambridge, Mass. axis. I have been friends with Ed Galing for years, and I share many of these sentiments with Leah. Believe it or not, I have never met Ed in the flesh, but I still consider him a good friend. Mark Pawlak, an editor for Hanging Loose Press told me that this is not uncommon. He considered himself very close friends with a late West Coast poet even though they never actually met. Sometimes letters, emails and phone calls can cement a friendship. You might even be disappointed if you actually met the person. I don’t think that would be the case with Ed!
STATEMENT FROM PUBLISHER LEAH ANGSTMAN:
Ed first sent me a sample manuscript back at the end of two-thousand-four after getting my contact information from other poets in the small press, many of whom I was printing at the time and some of them local East Coasters: Joseph Verrilli, B. Z. Niditch, the like. Galing sent me the manuscript right as I was packing all of my belongings in cardboard boxes to move from my then-apartment in Detroit across the country to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. The manuscript landed in a box and made its way across the country, untouched and unread. I had become quite sick at the time with a temporary, but long and painful, illness, and I had to take a breather from the small press, although I never put the pen down myself. There was a two-year hiatus of just living and breathing perfect mountain air, but the tug of the small press called me back, as it suddenly seemed that the writing world was missing some of its faces and words. In these years we lost Diehl, Egleton, Spillane, Williamson, Koning, L'engle, Sheldon. There were personal losses: Mailer, Paley, Styron, and Vonnegut. And there were poet losses: Leonard Nathan, Vincent Ferrini, William Meredith, Jane Cooper, Dmitri Prigov, and the East Coast's own Sarah Hannah and Stanley Kunitz. I started feeling like I needed to break back in and capture the words of the small press before even more fled.
So I pulled out the cardboard box of hidden and unloved manuscripts, dusted them off and gave them another look. In this box of treasures was one that seemed so genuine, so honest, that I almost couldn't touch it; this manuscript would later become what is today's Confessions of a White Hat, the first chapbook of Ed Galing's published by Propaganda Press. But just as surely as I'd set foot on the ground to reclaim my stake in the small press, the winds of change were making their way back across my life, and it was time to haul out those cardboard boxes and pack up my life again.
This time to the other coast, to breathe different ocean air amidst blunt people and tough attitudes, but to thrive among a culture- and history-rich small press and indie art scene in Boston. And right at the turn of the new year, I dusted off that manuscript one more time to unveil the honest stories and words of Ed Galing. I needed to get them out to the world before we lost another one, to create a lasting place where the words of our past meet the people of our future.
Ed's words are sincere, so very East Coast, so very much a part of the surroundings and history of this place: the bluntness with no pretense or sugar coating. In casual conversation, I asked a fellow friend in a bar if he knew some underground poets, and of all the names I mentioned, he only knew one: Ed Galing. Ed has a place here, among the pages of history books on this coast; he is a journalistic voice of a bygone era reminding us of how things change, yet how cyclic it all is, how swiftly the seasons move, yet how long we are grounded to this earth. He is a reminder of how we need to know ourselves, our race against the clock, our honesty with all that surrounds us. Simply put: Ed Galing is the living testament of history to this country; and if we are to see ourselves into the future, then we must reach back and understand our past, know from whence we came, know how we all got here and where we're headed. Ed will help you reach back and take that journey forward, and all I can do is bring him to you.”


Tom Watson’s latest anti-Labour scheme proves he’s an ‘utterly craven opportunist’
Labour deputy leader Tom Watson really needs to wind his neck in. His latest anti-Labour alliance with Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson proves beyond doubt that he truly is an “utterly craven opportunist”. At such a crucial point in UK politics, Watson’s more dangerous by the day.
On 13 August, Swinson proudly announced that she and Watson were “united”:
Tom and I have disagreed on a lot of things over the years but on Brexit, we’re united. Working with other parties is the only way to stop Boris, and stop Brexit.https://t.co/amkqhHjx4L
— Jo Swinson (@joswinson) August 13, 2019
As the Guardian reported, Watson claimed it’s time to ignore party lines to stop Boris Johnson forcing a no-deal Brexit. He said:
Everyone who cares about democracy, our country and our future must work together because there are enough of us – from all parties in parliament – to stop him.
Sorry, what? This latest diatribe stands in direct contradiction to Watson’s words in 2016. At the time he said:
The Lib Dems are desperately, openly, shamelessly trying to recover some sort of electoral relevance by coming out as Brexit deniers…
I can see why it’s attractive to Tim Farron [then Lib Dem leader], as the leader of a party on 8%, to want to be the party of the 48%…
Unlike the Lib Dem Brexit deniers, we believe in respecting the decision of the British people. To do any less is to fail to respect the British people themselves.
Fast forward three years, and Watson’s now thrown Labour under a bus. Not only that, he’s jumped into the driving seat of that same bus with Swinson’s Lib Dems. Novara Media‘s Aaron Bastani suggested that Watson’s latest alliance proves he’s “an utterly craven opportunist”:
Tom Watson, 2016:
“The Lib Dems are desperately, openly, shamelessly trying to recover some sort of electoral relevance by coming out as Brexit deniers.” The guy is an utterly craven opportunist. https://t.co/uF29fNxrMi
— Aaron Bastani (@AaronBastani) August 13, 2019
Many people also challenged the Guardian‘s role in reporting Watson and Swinson’s meeting. It continually puffs Watson in order to undermine Corbyn:
Here’s a question for GCSE media students (and everyone else too)
“Swinson has refused to work with Labour’s leader. Explain how the Guardian cynically wrongly attributes blame for the parties not cooperating here.”
— Tom London (@TomLondon6) August 14, 2019
While Labour trying to announce transformational policy ahead of a general election Tom Watson, in cahoots with Jo Swinson, is busy undermining his own leader.
The Guardian is the only paper sad enough to take his theatrics seriously. The left would be better off without both!
— Aaron Bastani (@AaronBastani) August 13, 2019
Corbyn’s Labour has consistently opposed no-deal. Yet the Guardian and other establishment media continually ignore Labour’s actual Brexit plan:
#ReachOverTheNoise@JeremyCorbyn’s, @Keir_Starmer’s & @UKLabour’s Brexit position vindicated.
-accepted ref. result, yes, but it’s NEVER been Brexit at any cost
-ALWAYS rejected ‘no deal’
-Held Gvnt. to account on behalf of leavers AND remainers (only party to do so!)
Now here: pic.twitter.com/ydfSRL1nbn
— James Foster (@JamesEFoster) August 14, 2019
A “duplicitous toad”
Watson’s latest treachery doesn’t stop there. Because Swinson’s ruled out any possibility of a coalition government with Corbyn. So this alliance is very problematic:
• Jo Swinson “I refuse to work with Jeremy Corbyn”
• Tom Watson tonight appears at an event with Jo Swinson to attack Jeremy Corbyn for not working with Jo Swinson
— Tory Fibs (@ToryFibs) August 13, 2019
And we shouldn’t ever forget Swinson’s role as one of the cheerleaders of Coalition-led austerity.
She consistently voted to reduce welfare and benefits, including cutting payments for people with illnesses or disabilities. She also voted to cut the Educational Maintenance Allowance for 16-to-19-year-olds. And she helped to raise university tuition fees, despite promising not to as one of the key policies that helped elect many Lib Dem MPs in 2010. Her track record on environmental issues, meanwhile, shows she supported the badger cull, fracking, and HS2.
Not surprisingly, Watson’s come in for huge criticism:
Tom Watson is fishing for a deal with Jo Swinson.
What an utter shambles this duplicitous toad has become.
The Lib Dims killed people Tom, they fucking killed people.
Get him out of the Labour Party.
— Rachael Swindon #ReachOverTheNoise (@Rachael_Swindon) August 13, 2019
The Little Finger of the Labour party!
Enough already. Deselection is needed for this duplicitous snake! #WatsonMustGo pic.twitter.com/B4GM8K5nCK

Lots of, none social media people, at my CLP last night, very angry at @tom_watson.
Saying he should keep his disgruntled views away from the media for the party's sake; like they had to in the Blair years!
Why hasn't his CLP deselected him yet, anyone know?#TomWatson
— Reggie Noo (@reggienoo1) August 14, 2019
He's at it again, knifing us all in the back once more.
Tom Watson has yet again slithered into the news offering to work with the Lib Dems despite the fact these austerity enabling weasels have refused to work with Labour! #WatsonMustGo https://t.co/kWUeqDLwEz pic.twitter.com/N7WEoCJIHI
— Damo🌹#ReachOverTheNoise (@Cornish_Damo) August 13, 2019
The centrists are rising in force at a time when we need a Corbyn-led government more than ever. So let’s hope Watson’s latest treachery is his undoing. Because the stakes are simply too high for him to do any more damage with his duplicity.

We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.

Otiz Cannelloni combines the illusion of magic and the wit of stand-up to produce a hybrid comic creation. He delivers a Tommy Cooper-inspired collection of tricks with zippy, self-deprecating patter and knowing, absurd humour to provide a full-on pantomime of unadulterated fun.
With a mind more suited to testing crash helmets, his performance fluctuates between sheer genius and outright stupidity. Just when you suspect he doesn’t have a clue, he removes all doubt.
Otiz is loved and revered in the business as a comics’ comic. When this man is on stage the dressing room empties, as the rest of the comics rush to watch and learn from his mistakes. It’s taken years of practice to make something so simple look so difficult.
Although his act is best seen live and in the flesh, Otiz has been allowed the odd (and indeed they were) appearance on television, having dismantled proceedings on The Stand Up Show (BBC1) and Stuff The White Rabbit (BBC2).
He’s a great act who rejoices in the title of Master of Mirth and Minimalist Magic (Time Out). A magical Wag. Bewitching. (The Guardian). Cannelloni wouldn’t look out of place on Sunday Night at the London Palladium (Chortle). He can boast such descriptions as Reluctant Messiah, Man of the People and O Level Woodworker.
Otiz successfully performs different material for late-night adult audiences and day-time family shows. He knows how to entertain the kids, while giving the adults a good laugh too.
